Dear VOR,
When I go shopping I can only carry maybe two bags at a time. This seriously limits what I can buy in one trip. In fact, the other day I needed to buy a new outfit for a job interview and also some new makeup but I couldn't carry that many packages at one time. I had to go home without buy anything because I couldn't decide which packages were the most important to carry.
To make matters worse I was starving and thought I'd stop on the way home for something to eat. But there were so many restaurant choices I became burdened and confused and just went home instead. When I got home I thought I'd eat but I couldn't decide between leftover pot roast or some quick and easy soup. I went to bed hungry.
Can you help me decide which packages I should buy next time I go to the store?
Signed,
Lost and alone

Commenter #1; The LW has worse problems than how many packages she can carry, she is indecisive and is making drama outta nothing. What she needs is a lobotomy.

My BIL came to our house for Christmas. I was showing off my brand new three month old daughter when he told me her hair bow was ugly, tacky, and cheap. I made that bow for her! I went in the other room and cried. My daughter was fussy all day. I know her feelings were hurt by this. I'm wondering if cutting him out of our lives and our will is the right thing to do. What do you think? I don't want my daughter to continue to be emotionally damaged by this man.
Sincerely,
Hurt Forever

Dear VOR,
I have a slight nut allergy. It doesn't kill me but I get really uncomfortable and break out in hives. I'm going to go with my husband to his sisters Superbowl party. Every year she serves a cheese ball covered in nuts. I know she serves other things too but why does she have to serve nuts? It's so tempting. I think she's secretly trying to kill me. How can I politely tell her she should keep her house completely nut free for me?
Sincerely,
Going nuts

Dear VOR,
My advice columnist has a husband who is a truck driver. Whenever her husband is home she doesn't answer her column in a timely manner. This really upsets me because I need her input to make my daily life decisions. Why does she have to be so selfish? How can I tell her how selfish she is and should I drop her as a friend?
Sincerely,
Without a Friend

Dear VOR, I used tater tops for protection and it didn't work. Not only that when I told my boyfriend he was so mad he forgot to put the shopping cart in the corral and left the ranch dressing in the cart. Should I leave him for being so insensitive or just live without ranch dressing for my everything bagels? Sincerely No job 3 kids and on government assistance

Dear VOR. I want to get my lady bits steamed too. I'm afraid my friends will judge. What do I tell them when they notice my fresh scent?
Signed, Too wash and tumble.
Dear VOR,
When Christmas passed this year I bought all new dish towels on clearance. There were, of course, Christmas themed. We were in dire need of new dish towels as my old ones were falling apart. I really scored big in the post season sales and am still using all the Christmas themed towels even though it is far past Christmas. My daughter says this is unmannerly and that I need to buy new towels that are "in season". Is my etiquette wrong?
Signed,
Towel confused

Dear VOR,
My sister doesn't love my babies! She insists they aren't anything like her snotty offspring, because they are kitties. She doesn't understand that I love each and every single one of them individually, and every single one has such a distinct personality, and I love them all so much! Recently, she has been complaining to my family members that I never go to events anymore, and that my house 'isn't big enough' for twelve cats! I am so hurt! I feel she is dismissing the vital role my babies play in my life, and how special I am to them. How do I make her see that nothing in life is more important than my babies, and get her to stop being so insensitive?
Signed, Totally not crazy.
