Must Closed Doors Be Locked?

Dear Marsha,

2 Years ago,  my ex and I parted ways.  It was tough, but we both went on with our separate lives.  2 weeks ago we bumped into each other at a pet store. He asked for my cell number and I gave it to him thinking it wouldn’t be anything more than just catching up. We talked at this store for what seemed like an hour or longer. We seemed to just pick up from where we left off as if nothing ever happened between us.

My family and friends think I am crazy for giving him my number and wanting to regain connections. They tell me that he is of my past and I should let him go.  On the other hand they say it is my choice and I have to be the one to make decisions for myself.  Why are they so contradicting? Why do they care who I talk to?

Must Closed Doors Be Locked?

Dear Must Closed Doors Be Locked,

The most common saying that comes to mind is “An Ex Is An Ex For A Reason”

Without knowing the circumstances that caused the two of you to part ways 2 years ago, I would have to say that your family is simply giving you their advice because they care about your feelings and do not wish for you to get hurt or tangled into a situation that they feel you may not be happy in.  They may sound contradicting at times because they know ultimately it is your decision no matter what their personal thoughts and/or feelings may be.  They try to coax you in a direction they see best, yet respecting you enough to make your own decisions.

Haunting Calls

Dear Marsha,

For the past two months I have been getting a lotLOT of calls that when I answer the phone, the caller just sighs several times.  I really am not sure who this is, and they are obviously blocking their number because my caller id always shows unknown caller.  I usually will listen to them for a few minutes, and try getting them to talk to me, but then I hang up once I know they are not going to talk no matter how hard I try to get them to.  I have also had hang up calls on my answering machine.  A friend of mine said this could be dangerous and that I should call the police. I just think it is someone playing a prank on me.  What do you think of these sighing and seemingly scary calls?

Haunting Calls

Dear Haunting Calls,

I personally would like for you to contact your local phone company and get further instructions to trace this caller right away.

I agree that this could be a potentially scary and/or dangerous situation, and it is always best to play it safe instead of second guessing and perhaps one day being sorry for not doing something about it.

There are many sick people in this world.  It is very likely that someone is calling you on a regular basis to gain knowledge

Dear Empty Stomach

Dear Empty Stomach

I am a fairly thick 22 year old woman.. Not big but not little but built in the right places…  I have a problem though trying to keep this figure… It seems that my stomach always feels empty, ever since I was about 10 I’ve had this problem.  I could go to an all you can eat buffet and two hours later I’m hungry again.. some refer to me as the bottomless pit b/c I don’t gain or lose.  I’m wondering if this may also be relevant due to the fact that I am very energetic.  I’m really perky all the time and use a lot of energy and I was wondering if this may be why I am always hungry… burning calories and having to replace them…   What do you think?

Empty Stomach

Dear Empty Stomach,

First and Foremost, I am not a Doctor nor do I plan for my reply to replace medical knowledge in any way.

Having a high metabolism could be a possibility for the lack of weight gain and the feeling of hunger.  If you have a high metabolism, then chances are you are more active.
