Ask the Merman

Advice from the Deep

This advice as dispensed is coming from a Merman's perspective. As a merman the worst thing you can do is ask advice and then not take it. In this fun column the Merman will attempt to give answers intended for improvement of what ever your particular situation might be. 

Like all earthly men, us mermen often wonder why mermaids come to us with a problem and don't like it when we try to offer solutions. That is what we do – we solve problems and it is extremely difficult for us to act as only a sounding board. If that were the case we would simply print your questions here and answer with something like, "Oh darn, that's too bad!" without offering a solution. Yes, that would be easier for us but we mermen rarely take the easy road. So please remember, the Merman will give suggestions for solving the problems voiced in the questions as submitted. You don't have to try to implement these suggestions but you might consider it – keep in mind the Merman takes no responsibility for the results. Enjoy and benefit.
