Because I'm the Ann Landers of all things GO (apparently), here are some frequently asked questions I've received over the past year via text messages in regards to various dilemmas and my replies (in green and italics):

The man across from me keeps picking his nose. What should I do.

No
Do you have socks?
Um, yeah, why?

  2. Frankly, I thought you were quiet rude in your replies with some of these people. But I guess I just have a different sense of humour than you.

  3. Anyone who starts a sentence with the word "frankly" definitely has a different sense of humor than me. Were you holding a cigar when you wrote that? Better loosen that ascot around your neck!

  4. Of course she was "quiet rude". It's text messaging.

  7. I'm on the verge of asking a hot guy what his name is. And he's about 20 years younger than me. I can't believe I've sunk this low. I'm blaming it on the heat.
