My cat won't get off my legs...what can I do to get him off?

Everytime I touch him he bites me and it hurts. ='(

-- = Lauren

Stand up. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Dear Ms. Roosevelt,

My boyfriend is in most respects a normal male. He is in life very

considerate. However when we have sex he likes to be watched. When we

first got together two years ago he just wanted the T.V. on.(He has

these nightmares that Chrissy from Three's Company would pet his hair when

he slept, and that people on television can see you.) Later on he kept

his cat and/or his loud budgee in the room. Eventually he kept a camera

in the bedroom. So a few weeks ago he basically raped me in the park

whith a group of Elementary school kids maybe 20ft. away(I didn't yell

because there were police around, I don't now understand why that

disturbed me)I dumped him on the spot. You see he says it helps him "preform"

I think its kinda creepy, and has gotten way out of hand. I love him

and if you aren't sleeping with him you would think he was darn near

perfect. I want him back, but this preforming is to much. Can you help me

out?

P.S. Could you please tell Laura to read "Why Girls are Weird" I think

she would relate.

That is kinda creepy. Your boyfriend is very weird.. and an ASS! Love him like a platonic friend. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



There is this boy in my class. He is considered "cool", but

he's really mean to me for no apparent reason. But my friends say they

hate him, even though one of my friends once had a crush on him, but

they are still nice around him. Whta should I do about

a) the teasing

b) my friends

thanks, you're awesome!

Ask your friends why they are nice to your enemy. Spit on your enemy. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Is it wrong for a 16 year old girl to flirt with a 23 year

old guy? And, I am really shy. Everytime a guy gets close I back away. I

have met this wonderful guy of late and I can see myself doing it

again. Any advice?

-- = Alexandra

It depends if it's legal for him to put his thingie in you, my dear. In many states, 16 is the age of consent, so it's legal. And it's wronger for a 23 year old to flirt with a 16 year old than vice versa. Go right ahead. Wink at the gentleman. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Hello,

My name is Leonard and your website just appeared in my favorites list

one day. I found it very interesting/entertaining, your fingers and

toes have seen many things and you have pictures for proof. My problem is

that my wife wants a divorce after 22 years and I have been kicking

around the idea of dating. Basically I am scared about this as I have not

been on a "date" since high school. What is my best approach to this. I

wouldn't normally be asking about this and I may even figure it out

myself but this opportunity presented itself.Maybe you have a suggestion

for a date? I could send a picture. I have enjoyed your website and

Thank you for and future advice.

Leonard from Seattle.

Judging by the last question, find yourself a 16 year old. I myself never dated after Franklin, rest his soul, passed on. But I understand why some people would. You should go to where women your age hang out -- church. Or try the internet. A good first date is meeting for coffee. It's a lot less intimidating than dinner and you can linger or leave as you see fit. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I'm always holding in my feelings until finally, I explode.

My friends think it's weird that I bottle up all this anger, and then

finally show my true feelings. Is this crazy...or...normal?

-- = Courtnay?

Everyone deals with anger differently, honey, and your way is as good as any. Don't listen to those arm-chair psychiatrists who tell you that you should always vent all your anger all the time. It's just not dignified. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



my boyfriend's a jerk! what do i do?

-- = erm

Break up with him. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



this girl that i like likes my friend

-- = anonymous

SUCKS! -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Why am i addicted to taking online quizzes when i know that i

really suck at life and i need to find friends?

-- = stef

Online quizzes give you insight into your life. Friends don't. Maybe you could send online quizzes to friends so they have insight into their own lives. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Hey Eleanor, I don't think my friend likes me anymore, I'll

call her Beth. She used to sit with me at lunch and stuff, but now she

sits with the popular kids (the same popular kids we used to insult

together). I kinda don't want to be friends anymore, except Beth knows the

majority of my secrets and if we weren't friends, she might think it's

okay to tell the popular people. Sometimes she is nice and stuff and

then I like her, but sometimes I hear her talking about her parties that

I wasn't invited to and almost letting slip who I like or something,

then I hate her. What should I do?

-- = Faodail

You've got to go into defense mode. Give up on Beth, reveal all of your secrets that you can stand being revealed, and let it be known that she's an exaggerator and will do and say anything to get people to like her. And maybe let her know that you hate her for it. There's a chance she is hoping she can pretend you just grew apart and she won't feel guilty for selling you out for the people she used to pretend to hate. -- Eleanor Roosevelt
