@APBBlue (I have a sneaking fondness for advice columns myself, even though the vast majority of inquiries could be answered with "just learn to say no to people")

@APBBlue have you read Tiny Beautiful Things? It's collected letters and responses from Cheryl Strayed's advice column. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

@APBBlue I thoroughly enjoy the no nonsense Carolyn Hac and Miss Manners. I search for and find non paywall sites for them. Refuse to pay for the Post. Dumped them for good unless there’s a change of ownership and courage and professional commitment to sanity and the accuracy.

@APBBlue If you subscribe to Apple News you get access to a smattering of advice columns. And yes, I am drawn to them.

@APBBlue @jalefkowit
I finally learned how to say no to people when I was a couchsurfing host! Nearly all of my experiences were delightful, but a few folks had pretty bizarre requests when they were asking to stay with someone for free. -
