I have found my new favorite advice columnist.

A Man Writes...

My boss is a very attractive woman who has been giving me pretty clear signs she wants to have sex with me. No threats or coercion involved, just plain lust. She’s no female version of Harvey Weinstein, and I know I’d enjoy it. What’s the downside?

There is no downside whatsoever here and that sounds completely fine. Your cats will be thrilled that soon, everyday will be Caturday at your house.

This Is Obvious to Everyone You Know

My wife and I have been paying off our student loans for years, but we still have about $75,000 to go. She’s 35 and really wants to start having a family, but I think we should wait a few more years, until we’ve paid off more of our loans. We argue about it constantly.

You don’t actually want children and you’re wasting her time and she will hate you forever.

I'm not sure how useful this column is (much as I may agree that capitalism IS like a vat of boiling oil) but it at least avoids being earnestly helpful.

Poor silly Finn.

I went downstairs to get something. I knew I'd be back up soon, so I closed the living room door behind me specifically to keep Finn upstairs. But he's a problem solver! It took me a little longer to find the thing than I expected, and meanwhile Finn had patiently pawed the door open and padded down after me. By the time I got back upstairs he had gotten downstairs and freaked out over being abandoned like that.

I felt so bad that after I rescued him from his howling misery I gave him a chewie. And Moonpie got one too, because I'm not a monster. No cats were around or I would've treated them as well.
