Another agony aunt column I discovered recently. Ask Amy runs in the Chicago Tribune and probably elsewhere as well. At least I hope it does, because it currently can’t be read by users outside the USA. Boo, hiss!
There’s no really much to say about Amy’s advice. Both the questions she gets and the answers she gives are usually quite bland. Yes, her advice is good, but the issues themselves are often so mundane it’s hardly worth the trouble. E.g. “I had a piece of ham on my plate at a party and I asked to take it home. My husband thinks that was rude.” All well and good, but not really rocket science, right? It’s possible her column is aimed more at the 50s-60s crowd than at young ‘uns like us.
Pluses: Comes out every day, three or four problems daily, short and to the point, Amy’s advice is generally sound.
Minuses: Boring and mundane, no comments section (fixed recently), archive doesn’t go back very far.
