Dear Mands ... or should that be Dear SupaNukaNanny ;D An unusual phenomenon has occurred! There is a bright yellow round thing in the sky, and the air feels strangely warm. I searched my dictionary and found this word - 'Sum-mer'. Could this be what is happening? And if so, what do we do about it? Signed, Warm At Last Okay Dallyballybe ... Before determining that it is actually the sun you have to do the following: Determine that it is actually the sun - not the neighbours kids throwing eggs or something that may at first glance look like an imitation of the sun. (I mean its not like we see alot of the sun -- so u'd be forgiven if you forgot what it looks like). You must also determine that you are in fact located in the southern hemisphere and haven't miraculously been transported to the northern hemisphere which may mean you are experiencing an early summer not sadly, the real thing. The other thing you must remember ... is AT NO TIME LOOK DIRECTLY AT THIS YELLOW BALL just in case it IS the sun. TAKE PRECAUTIONS because if it is indeed a smidgen of an indian summer, alll the heat waves we have missed out earlier in the imitation summer, would have built up to a point where one could be instantly vapourized should they venture out their door. So Mands here cautions caution (LOL) and common sense, and now is the time to encourage anyone you may not like to take a long stroll. In my opinion it is a hoax. Hope this helps.

The problem is ... he loves broccoli! *strange child* lol our daughters eat ONLY broccoli (no other veges)..... must be both strange (well two strange parents = strange children) I am currently, developing a rubber mold that together with green food colouring - will transform ANY VEGETABLE into an imitation piece of brocoli - not even the experts can tell the difference. This will be on the market shortly patent pending and the first one to send me a dozen whisky coloured roses with red spots will receive this product free of charge. Hope this helps - Mands

Dear Mands, I have a new job that requires tact, diplomacy, intelligence, astuteness, a sense of humour, and a tongue firmly in cheek at all times. I am a hoax....... how do I stop my new employer from finding out?

Dear Mis The solution is a very easy one and in fact could be very lucrative for you. My advice is to apply for the role of Mrs Dolittle in any upcoming Dr. Dolittle movies. This will provide an out for the reactions you seem to evoke in animals without people thinking you are crazy. Hope this helps. Mands

I am a hoax....... how do I stop my new employer from finding out? Dear LadyP This is indeed an interesting situation you have found yourself in, please take comfort in positions held by those in the political arena - technically their jobs require very similar attributes, but the result as we all know, can be quite different. So that really tells me that expectations of reality are quite different than the expectations outlined on paper. However, should you be found out to be hoax, and you need an adequate cover, without mentioning my name, you should just let them know you are an undercover agent for OSH and that would put the fear of (was going to say god, but we will go with ...) money in their hearts. I know a person who may be able to provide adequate paperwork to convey this cover in a less than truthful way, but would work if a quick glance of papers are given. Hope they have a sense of humour. Hope this works. Mands

Dear Mands,
This is a serious request for help. I hate talking on the telephone. I have come to the point where I will let the answer phone pick up every time it rings and if they can't leave a message then I figure it was nothing important. If they leave a message to call back and no other details I don't ring them. They have to leave me a description of what they want or I just forget about them. At home the kids answer and i've trained them to tell anyone who asks for me to say that I am out. Is this a bad thing?

Dear Nage I will try and take your problem very seriously as on the face of it - I don't see it as a problem at all, but, since you do then you are entitled to a reply. First off - congratulations on having trainable kids! xxx A bad thing? Not answering the phone? Expecting more than the minimum details so you can return their call? I personally think most people get a shock when someone ACTUALLY answers the phones these days which could cause a mind numbing reaction. So leaving the answerphone to answer instead is actually looking after people's minds. So you could actually put claim to being a proxy psychiatrist by nipping a potentially mind numbing experience for the caller, in the bud. I think you should be applauded. Not sure I have been of help. Mands

thanks Mands,
You've been extremely helpful. I was having a bad day yesterday at work but I'm at home today and have discovered that the house phone is broken so that's a huge weight off my mind.

Dear Mis ...
When situations as these evolve out of seemingly nothingless ... then I have to reflect on the mutation of the present English Language. We could mention the mutated eventuality of the word gay ... or 'the bomb' or the word 'mean' which nowadays have a totally different meaning.
So taking into today's verbal climate ... whenever the certain poster is seemingly 'snarky' - one would tend to take it in a positive light, and presume it means she/he is enthralled with your posts and any reply to your posts should thereby be taken as compliment not an insult.
The alternative answer is of course, the age old quality of jealousy ... and that is a wasted emotion on the part of the person attacking and on the part of anyone who retaliates. In other words ... move on, be yourself, don't change, keep smiling and any annoying bugs will eventually go away.
Hope this helps.
Mands
