That's right, kittens. Not only do I give excellent advice, but I have opinions about all sorts of ****, and I want to share. Ask and you shall receive speshul words from me to you.
I will only demean you if your name is varus, you farm okra, or you're a dirty ginger.

Dear FleaFollow
My grandparents grow okra, among other things, and I like it just fine. What's your problem with okra!?
Dear Flea,
Here in the DC area, Snowmageddon is upon us. With 16-24" of snow in our forecast, mass hysteria has struck the nation's capital. Given that it would take a feat of amazing patience to weather the grocery store, how do you suggest I make my way through the gauntlet and procure my milk, eggs and bread - the staples, apparently, for Snowmageddon survival.
Best wishes,
Dozer

How do you "reduce" a friend? Do you tell them straight out that you are not getting what you need from the friendship? Or do you just slowLY cut down on seeing them?

How long after a guy has broken up with his boyfriend should one wait before asking him out?
Catch: the guy and his ex still live together.

Dear Flea,
I find it difficult to approach people I don't know. Are there shortcuts to this, perhaps useful opening lines or conversation starters?

Dear Flea,
How do you suggest building up self-discipline to start and maintain a new project?

That's funny you say that, because they've already announced that they are back ordered and cannot take any further orders. A Local Blog wrote:
A Neighbor writes in to tell us that unless you have the Patience of Job to avoid trying to shop in the supermarkets. She reports a "perfect storm" due to the combination of the incoming blizzard, Superbowl preparation and the usual Washington, D.C. oddity of mass panicked shopping before snow hits. She went to the McLean Giant early this morning and even at that hour reports no parking, poor selection of food (all the ground meat is gone --- chili for the Superbowl), enormous lines of shoppers five deep with huge carts, and a fire truck. It took her 2 1/2 hours to get in and out. Peapod deliveries have all been snapped up. And Harris Teeter is calling its customers who have placed orders to tell them that they are simply out of food and cannot fulfill orders. If you can get by with what you have or pick up something at the 7-ll you will be far better off than trying a supermarket.

If they smile and reciprocate, a rueful comment about the cold or traffic to see if they're receptive to conversation. If you can, be helpful by offering directions or assistance, but don't enter their personal space.
More than what you say, it's how you say it. Smile warmly, but don't stare. Not everyone's going to want to be friends. Just keep practicing.

Seriously, I've always preferred the direct route, but if confrontation gives you hives, then just be busy when they call and don't make plans to go out. If they bring it up, just tell them you are busy. Unless they are crazy needy, they'll get the message. If they don't, you may just have to explain your discomfort and ask for time to work through it. You may just need a break.

Dear Flea,
I'm having a hard time making friends in Chicago due to the fact most people here suck. Any thoughts?
Confused in Chicago.
