Dear Crabby, My girlfriend loves art and always wants to take me to different museums to stare at walls full of art. I really want to enjoy it, but I find it rather difficult. What can I do? Sincerely, Knott A Picasso Dear Knott A. Picasso, Being the art-lover that I am not, I have actually found several ways to enjoy the art museums. You see, since Mrs. Crabby does love art, she likes to drag me along to The Detroit Institute of Art whenever she can. After barely surviving my first … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, Who should I listen to?

May 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment
DearCrabby

Dear Crabby, I get really confused sometimes and am not sure who I should listen too.  My doctor says I should take medicine, my wife says I should lose weight, my buddies tell me I’m fine, and my co-workers tell me to get a life!  I really don’t want to do any of them. Who should I be listening to? Sincerely, Monte Messedup Dear Mr. Messedup, Well, I could get into a lot of trouble answering questions like this!  But then again, that’s what I get paid for!  As far as … [Read more...]

DearCrabby

Dear Crabby, I recently came into contact with poison ivy and have these terrible red rashes. Is there a good and quick remedy for this? Sincerely, Joe Notsocool Dear Mr. Notsocool, Yes, I have had my fill of poison ivy in my lifetime! When I was younger, I would seem to get this rash every summer. I would simply walk past an area in the woods and this stuff would attack me from a distance! I think my mother and father bought more calamine lotion for me than they did food for a few … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, My husband and I are getting ready to have our first child together.  He told me the other day that he does not intend to change any diapers as that is a woman's job, and he does not think it would be right. What do you think about this? Sincerely, Dosa Realitee Dear Dosa Realitee, Many men have gone down this road and attempted to get out of this duty by claiming it is a woman's job. Some got away with it, some were put in their place, and some were never seen again! I … [Read more...]

DearCrabby-cropped2

Dear Crabby, I am almost 20 years old and my parents are still treating me like a child! My college offered me a credit card of my very own and my parents told me no. Why would they care if I get my own card? What gives them the right to deny me my adult privileges anyway? Sincerely, Hedda Foredebt Dear Hedda Foredebt, I am not sure where to start with your question. Let me take these in the order you wrote them. First of all, I have underwear older than you are, so let's not blame … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, My husband and I really like spring cleaning. It seems to bring us together and give us a common interest.  I just wondered if you enjoyed it and if you and Mrs. Crabby had any other activities that you enjoyed doing together? Sincerely, Sandy Sappy Dear Ms. Sappy, Yes, I love spring cleaning and getting outside to work in the cold wet yard, just about as much as I like having a root canal or a colonoscopy!!! I am not sure if you have been paying attention for the last … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, We had a small fire in our house and now we need to have a lot of things repaired and replaced. I am excited to get things freshened up, but I have one major question - "How do I survive remodeling?" Sincerely, Ober Wellemed Dear Ober Wellemed, Ah yes, the joys and pains of reconstruction.  I can remember vividly the process of having a disaster, then the clean up, then the quotes for new work, then the work itself.  It seems like a never-ending process while you are … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, Must I always get a sunburn?

April 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment
DearCrabby

Dear Crabby, I always seem to get a sunburn no matter what I do to prepare myself. Is this always going to be the case? Or will someone magically invent a lotion or cream that will allow me to soak up the rays without suffering from the pain afterwards? Sincerely, Bernie Burnt Dear Bernie Burnt, That is an age-old problem that many people would like to see solved.  If I was a younger, smarter man I would focus more of my efforts on this invention.  As it stands, I too fall victim … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, Please Help Save My Cat!

March 27, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Dear Crabby, I love my cat so much, but he is very sick with something right now. My therapist says I should not spend any money on her since she is 18 years old and probably near the end of her life. But I cannot live without her; I would spend every last dime I have to keep her just one more day! What should I do? Sincerely, Cat Woman Dear Cat Woman, Well, I need to tell you that you are probably asking the wrong guy. I am not a huge cat fan and I probably wouldn't have spent the money to … [Read more...]

Dear Crabby, Is moving always difficult?

March 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Dear Crabby, We need to move, and it is so difficult to pick the right time. Do we move when the kids are in school or out of school? Should we move in the summer or the winter? Is there a formula for all of this, or do we just learn as we make our mistakes? Sincerely, Fretful Freddi Dear Fretful Freddi, Is there a formula that makes moving easier? Yes, I say just don't move!  Other than that, no, you are stuck with all the dilemmas you mentioned and more.  I have done many of … [Read more...]
