Dear Daisy,
Do you charge a fee or is it free? If I ask for an advice, will you emailme back? If not, how will I get the advice? What kind of questions do you
entertain? Thanks.
Alan


Dear Alan,
Free. No. In BOI magazine. I like the obtuse... something with multiple meanings and even more answers. You're welcome. Come again.

 


 

Dear Daisy,
I am in love with my dog. I mean dirty love. When my dog rubs my leg I want to rub back. What should I do? Is bestiality still illegal?

Dear Confused,
You're saying you'd like to give the dog a bone? Your wildest fantasies could be called a "three dog night"? The sight of you dog makes you want to howl that the moon?
Woof.

 


 

Dear Daisy,
What are your opinions on gay men getting married while one of them allready has a kid? Is that right? What about the kid? He's kinda young 8 or 9 years old.

Dear friebd,
Why wouldn't it be right? Because the two men cannot naturally create children together? What about heterosexual couples who are incapable of having children? Do they not have a right to parent?

Because somehow their gayness will rub off on the child? I don't know about you but for as long as I can remember I've been attracted to members of the opposite sex and as hard as a person can try, they couldn't "make me gay". Besides, considering how difficult it is to be gay, even in America, I don't think many would choose to "be gay" if they had a choice. Whether two people should be allowed to be parents shouldn't be based on who puts what, where, when having sex but on their ability to be parents. Period.

 


 

Dear Daisy,
My dad asked me how we can get free money.
Any suggestions?
Signed,
Kenny

Dear Kenny,
Free money, huh? I suppose you could panhandle; make one of those "hungry, stranded, need help" cardboard signs and stand along a busy street like we've all seen. But I suppose people who do that pay for that money with their pride, so that money isn't really free. How about stealing? There's plenty of people out there with tons of stuff they'd never really miss. But you'd pay with bad karma and/or prison time so that's not really free. You could get a job but that would force you to compromise your autonomy so that's not really free.
You know, Kenny, you should tell your father that nothing is ever free. We always end up paying in some way or another. The best thing to do is find a way to make some money which is most acceptable to us and those around us.

 



Dear Daisy,
In the movie Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, there was a land of misfit toys. What was wrong with the doll nobody wanted? This has been a trivia question at work and making me crazy!! Please help!!

Dear Annahdiver,
If it's the doll I'm thinking of it's a little known creation called "Irritable Bowel Betty". It never quite caught on with the kids. Go figure.

 



Dear Daisy,
I am afraid that I might be gay
Help me please.
Yours lovingly
TS

Dear TS,
Contrary to what most Christian bigots say, there's nothing wrong with being gay. If you are, that is. This is one of the few times that I wish I knew your age but I'll simply relay a story which has little or nothing to do with your question like I usually do in these cases.
If you're in your teens it's important to make a distinction between gay and really horny. I remember moments in high school where my hormones reached such an apex that I'd as soon done a watermelon than a female. To put it another way, if you've been attracted to girls your entire life up to this point and find yourself "wondering" or even attracted to an occasional guy or two, I'd say you're just horny. Lock yourself in the bedroom with a couple towels, some hand lotion and have yourself a little party. That ought to help at least a little.
However, if you've always been attracted to guys then you may very well be gay. The important thing to remember is that sexuality for all teens can be quite confusing and your feelings now aren't always a good indicator of your adult sexuality. Fortunately there are plenty of gay related resources on the web for people who aren't too sure about their orientation. Regardless of which way you swing it's important for you to seek friends who are open-minded and supportive of you and your issues. Hang in there.
