Nope.

Once in a while I read the one in the Philly paper and (usu.) disagree with the advice!

Me too...she's never harsh enough

Recently (as in the past half year) a boy of thirteen told her that he wanted a leg or an arm amputated...but that he was afraid of his parents.
She told him to cut the cloumn out and show it to them, to talk to them about it!

You have GOT to be kidding. This is true? Did the boy mean it, or was he just being intentionally provocative? What kind of person just "feels like" amputating a body part, is this some new trend or something? What the hell is the MATTER with people?!

Not kidding. You'd think Abby would've said something a little more clear headed...
I think the kid was joking...some things I've read on there just can't be true.

What? One of my most common daydreams for years has been how awesome I would be with a peg-leg. I'm dead serious. I picked out the perfect spot, at the bottom of my calf muscle, where I would prefer to be tragically bitten by a shark. Then my prosethetic could fit comfortably and the peg-leg would still look long and cool enough. I would kick so much ass!

I wrote to Santa Claus once. And one of my favorite columns is Beakman and Jax in the Sunday comics section, even though that's kiddie science experiments and not advice; they're still mailing in questions to 'em.
