Harriette Cole: I don’t know how to break the news that I was just joking with him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR HARRIETTE: While working a private event, I exchanged pleasantries throughout the night with another team member. Apparently, what I assumed was silly banter, he mistook for flirtation. At the end of the night, he asked me on a date in front of a number of people I often work with at other events. I felt cornered. I know it’s my fault for not setting a boundary, but I shared my contact information with him. He’s significantly older than me and I am not interested in him, but because we have
Harriette Cole: My pastor shamed me about not tithing, but I have a good reason (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR HARRIETTE: Our pastor shamed my husband and me for not tithing to the church. My husband just lost his job, so we have cut down our tithings to essentially nothing. We used to give 20% to the church, but now we’re left wondering how we are going to pay our bills if my husband can’t find another job soon. We have always believed in giving to our church and supporting our community, so it hurts to feel like we are being judged during a difficult time. I understand that tithing is important to
Harriette Cole: I had fun watching the neighbor’s dog hightail it home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR HARRIETTE: This is for the person who has an ongoing problem with the neighbor’s dog digging up their yard and using it as a bathroom: motion-activated water sprinklers! They will come on when the dog gets near and will shut off automatically a few minutes after it leaves. They’re expensive (around $50) but do the job. I had fun watching my neighbor’s dog run home! DEAR BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: What a brilliant solution! It will surely stop the dog from stepping into the yard without causing
Harriette Cole: I didn’t realize he thought we were an exclusive couple (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been dating a man for the past couple of months, and because I’ve been single for several years, I’ve approached dating as I always have: getting to know someone and determining whether we’re a good fit for a relationship. We never discussed exclusivity or boundaries, and we didn’t even give our relationship a title, so I continued to consider myself single. During this time, I exchanged numbers with a few people and went on a couple of dates with another gentleman. Recently
Harriette Cole: I didn’t get a summer vacation and now I’m worried I’ll burn out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR HARRIETTE: How can I prevent burnout? I’m a college student, and I stayed at school over the summer, not really allowing myself to enter the mindset of a break. Staying at school awarded me with several opportunities, but in some regards, it stripped me of my ability to completely step out of school mode. The semester has only just started, and I’m already finding myself being stressed about class, homework, clubs and work. Do you have any recommendations or techniques on how to concentrate
