Hello Miss A,
I need the help from an experienced lady. I say lady because I would like to handle this situation like a true lady, in a polite manner. I have a friend who I’ve known for over 3 years. We first became friends when she moved here and began working in my office. We [...]

It took nearly forty years, but I have just experienced my first funeral as a family member. Any funeral I had previously attended was for a distant relative or on my husband’s side of the family. This time I was more than an attendee, I was immediate family. The whole experience was profound and deeply [...]

Dear Miss A,

Hi Miss A,
I am a working adult female and am currently facing a problem, which I have always thought that only teenagers will face. I have a very nice group of running friends and we run every weekend. I got to know a very ‘nice’ chap not long ago and he likes to run too. I [...]
