Recently, a drug-sniffing dog barked madly at her car when we went through a DUI checkpoint. The cops searched but didn't find anything. Now I'm suspicious.  What are the chances that Moheesha is taking drugs? Signed: Concerned Mom Dear Mom, Since the heat didn't turn up any illegal substances a few possibilities …
The Insufferable Know-It-All  (IKIA) answers your questions about love, sex, marriage, sex, family, sex, relationships, sex, finances, sex and offshore faith-based tax shelters. ******************************** Dear Mr All, I'm considering becoming a preacher. It's gotta be a great gig. You work a few hours on Sunday morning while the suckers put their hard-earned cash in your collection plate. Them TV evangelizers, they even got their own private jets. And NO TAXES! What a racket. If you get caught doing crack in a motel room full of hookers you just do a teary 'I'm sorry, lord, I has sinned…

My sister says it's because of global warming. I do not believe in global anything, especially warming, when it's ten below in February. I believe the government is manipulating the weather because the aliens from the Oxypraxyc galaxy are making them do it. Does this seem …

My husband wants to go to a fancy dude ranch in Montana to ride horses, fly fish the streams, eat bar-b-qued beef three meals a day and hunt field birds. I prefer a week in Paris followed by a tour of Provence, then on to Nice before heading home. We can't agree and we're starting to fight about this extra …
The Insufferable Know-It-All answers your questions about love, sex, marriage, sex, family, sex, relationships, sex, finances, sex and off-shore faith based tax shelters. ******************** Dear IKIA, I work in a branch office for a large corporation. My problem is one of my co-workers. She disrupts staff meetings, with vulgar, profanity-laced criticism of other people's ideas. She bosses people around even though she has no authority and hoards office supplies. If you want a paper clip you have to ask her! I don’t understand why the office manager hasn’t fired her. I'm thinking of quitting…

Our house is bursting with garbage she brings home - figurines with missing noses, rickety end tables suited for kindling, and we have more wicker baskets than Pier 1. Her latest acquisition is a ten-foot-long table she's wedged into our dining room. It looks like it was cobbled together by a deranged …

For the past eight months, I've been dating a man who has three interests in life – sports, beer and pepperoni pizza. And he's never even voted! I can't understand my attraction to him, can you explain it? Signed:  Ms Confused Dear Miss Confused, Of course I can explain it. You're experiencing a …
The Insufferable-Know-It-All answers your questions about love, sex, marriage, finances, sex, relationships, business, sex and offshore faith-based tax shelters. Dear Insufferable Know-It-All My parents have been married for 32 years.  I thought they were happy, but a few months ago they started sleeping in separate bedrooms. My father says it's because my mother snores like a drunken steel worker. My mother says it's because my father stays up until 3 a.m., eating pistachio nuts in bed while watching infomercials for absurd real-estate investment schemes and male potency products. I'm afraid…
