Dear Daisy,
I want to move to Ireland and live off of potatoes. I can make french fries, potato pancakes, hash browns, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and potato bread. I will build a castle by the ocean and surf while waiting for my potatoes to grow. Do I have a problem or is this normal?

Dear potato lover,
Potatoes are a great vegetable but don’t you think you’re going a little overboard with them. Your diet must consist of other vitamins and minerals that can’t all be found in potatoes. Try having different potatoes with every meal, but don’t let potatoes be your meal.
Dear Daisy,
I’ve got this terrible problem! I hate taking showers! It just takes up so much of my time. While I’m showering {which is every few days} I think of all the other things I could be doing that seem so much more productive. I don’t want to stink and I don’t like perfume. What should I do to accept taking a shower?
Dear Stinky in Mini
If you don’t like showers maybe you would like a nice hot bath. That way you could forget about all the things you could be doing and focus on how relaxed you feel- plus you would be clean.
Dear Daisy,
My boyfriend broke up with me a couple days ago. The next night he went out on a date with a girl he met at the bar. I got angry because I thought that he had something going on with her before we broke up. He always gets mad at me when I accuse him of things. It hurts like crazy every time he goes out with this girl. I want to get over it and just be friends, what can I do?

Dear Heartbroken,
Don’t let your jealousy and anger override your emotions. Accusations are only going to make him go and do the opposite that you want to happen. It is hard to become friends with a person right after you break up, because there will probably still be feelings for one another. Give it time. Set up a time that you two can talk and tell him how you really feel. Then you’ll get it off your chest even if he doesn’t care.
