Just Ask Georgia: 2/8/2023

Georgia, I have a question,

My family was having a reunion and we had a big dinner. I was sitting next to an aunt that I’d only met one other time and she was talking about something really boring, and crying and wailing at the dinner table. I had to fart, so I let one out and it was really horrible. One of my brothers laughed and the aunt went hysterical and my mom sent me to bed without dinner. Why would this be considered rude?

Tootie Toddy

Dear Tootie,

It sounds as if your parents did not inform you that bodily functions should be done in the privacy of an empty room or a bathroom. Not only that, it sounds like your aunt was going through something emotional and you made someone laugh while she was talking about it. Let’s be a little more considerate of others, shall we?

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

I was told that the thingy on my computer reads credit cards for quick payment of online shopping, so I put it in there. Now it’s stuck. I tried toothpicks but lost them in there too. And now my computer is making some really awful noises. What did I do wrong?

Computer Dumby

Dear Dumby,

That “thingy” is the CD drive and it sounds like you probably messed your computer up pretty good. Stop touching it and take it to a repair place - ASAP. And maybe stop using a computer completely?

With love, Georgia
