Hard Core Advice From
Hard Core’s Hardest Core… John Leslie!
Dear John,
I am married to a
wonderful woman who is generous and helpful. We are both retired, in good
health, and live comfortably. We are also baby-sitting two of our grandchildren
five days a week, nine months out of the year. We love our grandchildren, but I
feel this is too much.
The problem is,
when I talk to my wife about doing less so we could take the winter off and
spend it in a warmer climate, she refuses. I want to enjoy my retirement.
Winters here are depressing, and limit our physical activities.
I don’t feel it
would be right for me to travel by myself or spend my time in a warmer and more
enjoyable place while she stays home and baby-sits.
How can I get her
to realize that the years slip by, and that if we don’t enjoy ourselves, it may
be too late when the grandkids no longer need us to baby-sit.

Dear Frustrated,
You
can’t. Get a mistress.
Dear John,
This is in reply
to the widow in Florida who complained that she is unable to make new friends.
I suggest she find
a local animal shelter where she can volunteer her time. Most shelters welcome
volunteers, especially during the week. Whether or not she makes new human
friends, the animals she works with will appreciate the time she spends with
them and wild display a love and loyalty she will treasure forever.
--Helpful
Dear Helpful,
How
about you leave the advice-giving to the professionals?
Dear John,
My husband works a
private college. His male boss had an affair with one of the female directors
under him. My husband found out about it and, after much deliberation, brought
it to the attention of the human resources department. The president of the
college was informed, but he only put the two guilty parties on suspension for
two weeks.
Meanwhile, my
husband still has to work for this guy, and this guy constantly undermines him.
It is obvious that there is no future for my husband at this college. The
affair is still going on, but my husband has told no one else. The spouses are
in the dark, too.
My husband has
only worked for this college for a few years. Until this affair, he loved his
job and did it well. Our daughter graduates high school next year, and we were
hoping she could attend this school tuition-free. Instead, we may have to move,
losing whatever benefits we may have accrued.
Should my husband
ask for compensation when he leaves, such as some kind of tuition benefit? The
president is about to retire and has no interest in moving my husband to a
different department.
How do we handle
this?
--Mrs. Snitch
Dear Snitch,
The
only time it pays to open your mouth is when you’re in the adult entertainment
industry. Quit wasting my time, loser.

can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s
nose.
