Dear Hobee,

I’m a 39 year old male, with a good job, very responsible, good head on my shoulders, have a great girlfriend and life is great except my mom interferes in my life all the time. She wants to know what I’m doing, with whom I’m doing it with, where I spend my money etc. She thinks cause I live with her and don’t pay rent that she has a right to tell me what to do and thinks she can ask me anything!! She’s being ridicuous!! She needs to get a life!! How do I make her stop??

DEAR MARCO,
She needs to get a life????? Ummmmmm buddy…..you’re almost 40 years old and living with your mom??? And you think SHE needs a life??? Who’s really being ridiculous here? I say, give your head a shake, buy a house with the money you have undoubtedly saved by NOT paying her a cent towards rent, use any left over money to buy your girlfriend a really nice gift for tolerating a man who treats his momma like garbage. Geez!!


Dear Hobee,
I’m a plus size girl and most of my friends are half my size. I always feel like such an amazon beside them. I know this is crazy but I’m thinking of only hanging out with girls that are bigger then me so I feel smaller. Do you think I should do that?

DEAR BRENDA,
Brenda, Brenda Brenda…..are you for real?? I tend to get sarcastic in some of my responses but this is a serious topic here. It’s entirely up to you what you decide to do but dumping your skinny friends for larger friends is crazy. No different then if they said they couldn’t hang out with you because you’re larger!! It’s all nuts! Be proud of who you are! They hang out with you because you’re YOU. So hold your head up high and be proud of the person you are and chose your friends based on who they are inside not what they look like on the outside.


Dear Hobee,
What kind of names are Houida and Bevin? If those people are going to be in show
business, I suggest Houida changes her name to Susan, and Bevin changes his name to
either Bif or Lance.

DEAR ANOMYNOUS,
Maybe if you had the balls to identify yourself, I’d answer that question.


Dear Hobee,
Now that the strike is over, how will I get all these garbage bags out of my basement?

DEAR DANA,
In your basement?? Remind me not to come over to your place for dinner any time soon!! I’m sure the aroma is intoxicating!! As for your garbage….here’s my advice, call some friends over that owe you some favours, have them go down to the basements with surgical masks, latex gloves and full body protection and get them to remove them. Reward them in the end with a few cases of beer and a nice bubble bath…….your house isn’t going to be the only place that stinks! Ewwww!
