Edwina Sez'.....
Hey there, you all!

Well I am b-a-c-k.... and ready to start dishin' out some plain and simple advice on love, marriage, kids, grand babies, pets, cookin', cleanin', or WHATEVER. Just anything I can do to be of some help, and hopefully have a few laughs. You ask me.... and I will do my best to be as honest as I can. But be warned.....I have no pity for fools and I promise to call things as "I see them".

Sooooo...... Let's get started.

Help! Edwina:

I am retired and decided to run a small child care business from my home to supplement my income. Since I already watched my grand-kids, I thought, what would a couple more kids matter. But low and behold, my next door neighbor decided to start sunbathing in her back yard, with nothing on but a very skimpy "thong" bikini. There is really not much room in between our houses and the parents of the children have taken issue with it. I am too embarrassed to say anything, and besides, it is her property. Who am I to ask that she be more modest around all of these children and parents? But what should I do?

If that was happening at my place, my Big Ed would just get out his binoculars and then he would take pictures and sell them on the internet! LOL! No, No, No! Seriously, I would check with a lawyer, but I doubt that they could help. This is what I really think. I think that you are going to need to buy a higher fence. Bushes maybe?

Edwina:

I am frazzled!

Two days before my 85-year-old mother died, Dad called Mom's younger sister to let her know that Mom was close to death. During that conversation, "Auntie Dearest" told him that my Mom had "run around" as a girl, caused problems for the family and had sex with several boys in her school. Dad was shocked and devastated!

It is now a year later, and Daddy is still upset about this. He's very angry at "Auntie Dearest", and so am I. She did a awful and dreadful thing, revealing these secrets, literally on Mom's deathbed. "Auntie Dearest" justified it by saying "the truth" needed to come out.

I have tried to let this go, but I'm so angry at her that I think I should tell her how deeply her words have affected us. What do you think?

Edwina Sez':

For cryin' out loud! If I thought a Frickin' B-otchin' out would do any good, I'd say go for it! But I don't think it will. Obviously the woman is mental and deranged. For her to want to tarnish your mother's memory, after all these years, shows how jealous and resentful a fiend she really is. (This kind of thing makes me glad I don't have any siblings.) Anyway, what makes you think that what she said is true? Just because SHE said it? Your mother was a good wife and loving mother, and whatever might have happened in her youth is unimportant, Geez, especially 65 years after the fact. I recommend that you develop a healthy dose of amnesia: And totally forget your mother ever had a sister. Both you and your dad will be happier. And remember that life is too short. Live, Laugh and Love!

Dear Edwina:

My husband and I have been married for 30 years, and ever since the last of our grown children has moved out of the house, we have had an ongoing argument. When no one is home, I like to bathe with the bathroom door open, because that way I can listen to television while I'm in the tub.

My husband constantly complains that the kids might walk into the house and catch me bathing. I feel that since they don't live here any more, they should not walk in, and if they do, it's their problem and once they see me naked, it probably won't happen again. Please help settle this.

Edwina Sez':

For Pete's Sake! If the situation were reversed, I'm sure your "children" would be Frickin' P.O.'ed if you walked into their homes without notice and caught them in the act of bathing -- or even worse, doin' the Wild Thing. They shouldn't be entering your Frickin' house without first callin' to see if a visit is convenient, or even wanted. Settle the argument by installing deadbolt locks on your front and back doors and using them when you want to get NAKED! Woo-Woo!!! And tell your hubby to lighten up and join you in the tub.

Well, that is enough of this stuff for now.

I am going to my HAPPY place. But don't worry, I'll be back soon,
