Dear Chica Fab....

I have received several advice request from some of my readers, so I decided to share my wisdome with all my fans (yeah…all 3 of you!)

Dear Chica Fab
My daughter is going away to college and I am not sure what I am going to do with myself when she leaves. I can feel the ‘Empty Nest Syndrom’ coming on and she hasn’t even left yet. My question is, can I make her call me everyday (several times a day) while she is away at school and how can I MAKE her do that?

Empty Nester


Dear Empty Nester
I feel your pain because I am in the same boat. However, as a parent you must allow them to make their own decisions. For example, I told my niece that she needs to call me everyday when she goes away to college. When she asked if it was ‘mandatory’, my answer was YES. Not calling would suggest she no longer needs her phone (with unlimited texting) and I would suspend her line. So you see dear reader…..I left it up to her to make the decision. Good luck!


Dear Chica Fab
I went on a double date to the drive in movies with this guy I work with . He seemed very nice and as th evening progressed he was a total gentleman. When he brought out a joint…he offered some to me first (how sweet is that!). I said ‘No Thank You’, but only because I didn’t want him to now I didn’t know how to smoke. Fast forward a few days later when I asked him to go to prom with me and he said ‘No Thank You”. He said he liked me but I was too young. 4 months later he married the general accounting lady who was 5 years older than him and 50 lbs heavier than me. I don’t really like him, but I still feel hurt by his denial to attend prom with me. What can I do to make myself feel better?

I suggest you plan your life so that when he comes into the collection agency you work for (while you go to college), with his three crying kids, you can be the one to accept the $10 check he wrote against his $10,000 debt. Good Luck!


Dear Chica Fab
My best friend is going out with a really nice guy and she wants me to double date with one of his friends, but when we did, he totally ignored me and didn’t even bother to remember my name at the end of the night. What did I do wrong?

Confused!

Dear Confused,
You did nothing wrong. If someone does not like you for who you are, then move on girl. However, I suggest you plan your life so that when he walks into the health department you work for, it’s YOU he has to ask where the STD clinic is being held that day. He may not remember you (since he didn’t even bother on the date), but believe me….you will feel less confused.


Note: The above advice was taken from personal experience…sad, but true.

Well readers, if you have any burning questions you want my advice on, I am more than happy to draw from the 'Shakespeareon Comedy' that is my life to give you my wisdom (not that I am old or anything!)
