ASK LISA – Like Therapy, But Without the Copay or the Couch
Welcome to my unsolicited advice column! Think of this as Dear Abby, but with more sarcasm and absolutely zero credentials. You ask the questions, I provide the answers, and whether they’re wise or just mildly entertaining, it’s all part of the fun. My suggestion? Having a backup plan wouldn’t hurt. See? I’m already full of sound advice!
Here’s the deal:
- Submit your burning questions – whether of a playful nature, such as: when did napping go from being a punishment to the best part of adulthood; or at what age we finally admit, I’m too old for this. Or, if you’re tackling the bigger stuff – marriage, divorce, extended family, parenting, money problems, or even the mystery of why they named a cake, Better Than Sex Cake (and at what point in life does cake actually become the answer?).
- I’ll respond with my best attempt gained from experience, age, and wisdom, in hopes it may shed some light on the subject and leaving you feeling just a little better than before you asked.
- By submitting, you’re giving me full permission to publish your question along with my response – because sharing is caring.
- Legal Disclaimer (because my attorney said so)
- I am not a licensed professional in anything except questionable humor. But I’ve been told I’m the voice of reason, have good, common sense and I’m a pretty good at reading in-between the lines.
- My advice could be helpful, but let’s be honest, probably not. If it miraculously turns out amazing, I’ll do my best to be humble, while shamelessly patting myself on the back.
- I will never publish your actual name unless you’re OK with me doing so; however, I reserve the right to create a new one for you. Your identity remains private, so feel free to ask away. Sort of like a HIPPA violation for aspiring bloggers: Honest Insights & Possibly Pointless Advice.
- I’ll attempt to answer within 72 hours, after I’ve had time to figure out how. That way, you’ll never know if I truly needed time to craft a thoughtful response…if I simply didn’t want to answer…or I had no clue how to. The mystery is part of the fun!
- No whining allowed. I answer questions, not complaints.
So go ahead, fill out the form below, and fire away! Just don’t expect life-changing wisdom. A little humor? More than likely. Some surprisingly solid advice? There’s a good chance you might get that too. And if I completely miss the mark, well…that’s where your backup plan comes in.
