Hi Evelyn, I met this really nice guy, only to discover he wears tighty whities. After making the discovery, I went out and bought him multi-colored boxer briefs. He didn’t say anything, but I noticed he won’t wear them. Growing up, my brothers wear/wore tighty whities and the thought of washing them makes me gag. What do I do? Shocked Sandra from Glennwilde Evelyn: Whoa!! Choice of underwear is a pretty personal thing!! How would you like him telling you what panties to wear? Be glad he isn’t going commando and put on your big girl panties and deal with it! Hi Evelyn, My wife tends to do a lot of cooking once the weather cools down. I don’t think she is a very good cook and now she has put herself in charge of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a good twenty or so friends and family. How do I convince her it is not a great idea? Just call me Al, from Homestead Evelyn: Alls good as long as she doesn’t poison anyone. Most fast food places are open on Thanksgiving, if the friends and family don’t like what she cooks they can stop on the way home. (If it’s really that bad insist on everyone taking home leftovers, let them throw it out!) Hi Evelyn, My wife seems to be a goody goody in the community. She is always volunteering but you know what? Our own home is a disaster and to be really honest, it is mostly her mess. We both work and I feel we should both contribute to cleaning up, but she says she doesn’t have time because every night is another event and she tells me families will suffer if she doesn’t go help. What do I do without coming off like a coldhearted “individual”? Cold Stone Mike, from Senita Evelyn: That’s simple, hire a maid!! Hi Evelyn, My daughter seems to have attracted a swarm of boys since entering 8th grade. There are teenage boys lurking around my house and trust me, I take her to school and pick her up so there is no funny business happening. She has a phone and now all the social media stuff (that I monitor). I don’t know at what point, I am being too strict or at what point I have to let her go. Help! Danny the Mean Dad, from Cobblestone Evelyn: 1. Get yourself a D.A.D.D. (Dads Against Daughters Dating) t-shirt. 2. Put an NRA sticker on your car. 3. Next time the boys are “lurking” around your house, sit in front of an open window while cleaning your shot gun.
