Life Sherpa: By the way, before I forget, we'll be doing this again in two weeks: Wednesday, March 5 -- same Sherpa time (1 p.m.), same Sherpa channel.
And don't forget to tell your family and friends (and even those you don't care about) that the Life Sherpa column runs every Tuesday in the Here & Now section. You can e-mail me questions as well -- at jholleman@post-dispatch.com
There, nothing makes me feel better than some shameless self-promotion

terry: My woman says you give bad advice. I insist you are a wise prophet with impeccable manly insight. Who's right?

Life Sherpa: terry, does your wife know we're talking?
Anyway, the obvious answer is that I am a wise prophet. Admittedly, all of my "insights" come from being a guy. It's all I know. I tried getting in touch with my feminine side once, but heels kill my back.
But I also can see why women think I give bad advice, for a lot of times it is advice they don't want to hear.
Abby and Ann and Oprah have been giving advice for years, and a lot of times it seemed like "bad" advice to men.
They have their biases, and I have mine.
So, gosh darnit Terry, you are right !!

Life Sherpa: One final note to Paul before we sign off until March 5:

Don't ever admit in front of other guys that you listen to Enya

michael: man, Uncle Jerry, get to a therapist quick.

Sherpa, I've been reading the little blurb under your picture on line here. I want to know, how do you you break up with Angelina Jolie (and live to tell about)?

Life Sherpa: It was easy. I just told her I hated kids and that her brother was ugly.
