None of the above. The person to whom I turn for advice will vary depending upon the situation, and what kind of advice I need.
I would probably be more likely to turn to a close friend for comfort and sympathy, but someone with more experience/knowledge of whatever the subject is for advice. _____________________

Incontinence is NOT something to discuss on a worldwide forum, Pep. and, "PS considering going along to see Stavros Flatley (Britain's Got Talent???) in an hour or so." - For dance lessons? Jig, I have a sobbing Pep on the other line now . . . Can we try to show a LITTLE sensitivity? _____________________

Advice for anything serious in RL is never sought in a public fashion. In RL I might seek advice from very trusted friends or family. But, generally, I tend not to burden people with personal things that are not mutulally important for whatever reason........such as RL work or family issues. But some things personal to me only I leave my friends out of the mix. I do my own "research" and arrive at my own conclusions to take whatever action I feel I must.
I'll ask questions, of course, but to ask advice I feel it's a little rude to put a friend in a position of having to come up with advice on a personal level about me. I guess because I really don't want to know someone elses business I don't feel comfortable putting someone else in that position. It's just me. |

Jig, I have a sobbing Pep on the other line now . . . Can we try to show a LITTLE sensitivity? If he is sobbing at all it's coz he cant find a clean pair of pants. Tell him he must learn to stand up straight. Have I managed to reduce Pep to a blubbering and quivering jelly? Now it's time for me to aim a good swift kick to his goolies and bring him down to his knees.  _____________________

I very rarely seek advice from anyone. When he was alive my Father was my best friend and confidante, and I would seek his advice. He would always make me tell him, what I thought i should do, to find the answer within me, and then support my decision. He believed greatly in choosing our own paths and following them, even if they sometimes led to peril. I still do that, I generally decide on my own, and once so, I may turn to a trusted friend or two before embarking.

Actually, if I am really stuck, I ask my wife and do the opposite of what she suggests.
Pep (I could do the same with Jig, I suppose.) PS Wiping tears from my eyes . . .  PPS It's rubber underwear I need, not brown pants.  _____________________

PPS It's rubber underwear I need, not brown pants.  Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the sea, a captain and his crew were always in danger of being boarded by pirates from a pirate ship. One day while they were sailing, they saw that a pirate ship had sent a boarding party to try and board their ship. The crew became worried, but the Captain was calm. He bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!" The First Mate quickly got the Captain's red shirt, which the captain put on. Then he led his crew into battle against the mean pirates. Although there were some casualties among the crew, the pirates were defeated. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending two boarding parties towards their ship. The crew was nervous, but the Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle was on! The Captain and his crew fought off the boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an ensign looked at the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?" The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, explained, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, so you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence. They were amazed at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, 'Bring me my brown pants!!!' _____________________

TMI Isn't it an advantage of geriatric BDSM? Incontinence pants with go-faster stripes being de rigueur?  Pep (I'm asking you because I presume you'd be the one to know.  )_____________________

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

PPS It's rubber underwear I need, not brown pants. You would be absolutely amazed at number of people who come to me in reality and ask for my advice. In my profession, I am really reliable and I know "ropes" as they say. And in my personal life, I have good advice to give coz I made so many, many mistakes myself. I never listened to anyone when I was a teen because I could easily afford not to and, up to a few years ago, I was pretty much a disaster zone. Now I am saner and, in my real world, I am a walking warning of what happens when you follow hedonistic desires and what they can bring you to. And that is absolutely truth-truth. _____________________

And that is absolutely truth-truth. Jiggy, I gently remind you, despite your experience, many of us can say the same but have many more ropes, mistakes and hedonistic desires littering our trails Enjoy your youth and leave the grumbly advice to we old wrinklies Totally forgot about the advice thing...I vent and google until I reach a conclusion. Occassionally the random odd comment solidifies into an uh-huh moment. Sometimes solidification is only after my mistake (ie make cucumber sandwiches Mummy and rest, and instead we made chicken burrittos and melted the kitchen. REALLY should have listened to Jig that day, it would have saved me architectural drama and trauma )._____________________

I suggest a nice old-fashioned Chef's salad with hard boiled eggs and the best ham you can get. And "bappy" rolls. Pluvery and all soft with hovery crusts. And a cup of intense tea that gives your tongue a dusting. Were you my advisor-counsellor in rehab? Sometimes you sound ..._____________________

Many of the people who need advice don't want it.

I don't seek advice except in very unusual circumstances.
There are almost none of those in SL. I trust my instincts. They have never led me to doing something I cannot live with. _____________________

I always go to my real life brother for advice because I know he will always be honest with me.. for example if I say does my bum look big in this he'll say "like a large country". And if I ask him if I've just been an arse to my SL boyfriend he'll put me straight by saying "that poor avatar needs a bloody medal even talking to you, you man-hating b1tch you".
I have no self-esteem but at least I know I'll always get 100% honesty from my bro (insert wry smile here) |
