Keep the questions coming!

I'M BACK FROM VACATION! AH! SO SAD.

Here's a question I received in my absence:

Dear Becky,

I have a serious problem. I am used to being in frequent contact via gchat with a friend of mine. Alas, she is on vacation and I am sitting in my office wanting to chat with her, and she's not there! It's breaking my heart. What should I do?

Sincerely,

I miss her like the deserts miss the rain

Dear I miss her like the deserts miss the rain,

I am saddened by the sadness plaguing your heart and making you sad. I am also sad that I don't have a thesaurus. In all seriousness though, your friend will be back before you know it. In fact, she MIGHT even be back now. In case she's not though, why not try taking up sudoku, weaving, tweeting or novel-writing. These are hobbies / pursuits that involve concentration and CAN, if you're dedicated, take up a large quantity of your time. OH...well tweeting doesn't really take concentration,,,though the 140 character limit can be a BIT of a challenge. It is time consuming though...Busying yourself is a good way to miss your friend less, or maybe even stop liking her.

Sincerely,

Becky

Dear Becky (if that's your real name):

I have a friend visiting from out of town next week. She has come to visit a few times before, and we have conquered all the usual touristy stuff. I want to show her a good time, and I know that you are really into doing stuff, so do you have suggestions for us?

Sincerely,
