Dear Mik and Mike: Yesterday I was at the mall with my very good male friend. Although this was supposed to be a very quick trip to find him sandals for a trip, we ended up being tricked into going inside a new tea shop. They had a woman out front offering samples of tea [...] Drugging Shoppers at the Mall

Dear Mik and Mike: The banks are trying so hard to be “nice”. Now mine has two greeters, one when you walk in the door and another as you approach the line. Do they have that much money to spend that they can afford it? And what’s the point? I like it in terms of [...] eSolicitations Annoy

Dear Mik and Mike: Have you noticed that instead of knocking on your door, solicitors make their way into your Inbox? I’m talking about people I know who want to raise money for their kids’ team, making their new CD, going on a vacation, the list is endless. There are also the more audacious people [...] Man Says His Girl is Tight… in the Wallet

Dear Mik and Mike: My girlfriend is very cheap. She says she’s “frugal”. She won’t pay for wifi at her apartment because there is a guy in the apartment downstairs with a strong signal and she poaches his. His network is open, so I guess she’s not the only person who could be poaching. I [...] Triangulating Is the New Meet and Greet

Dear Mike and Mike: My goal in life has changed from “being the man” on stage to helping other people succeed at fulfilling their creative music vision in the recording studio.

Dear Mik and Mike: I have a problem – it’s a friend who is so damn cheap. I have really distanced myself from him in a lot of ways because of this.

Dear Mik and Mike: My friend’s car got broken into probably because I dropped my wallet in her car. My wallet is now gone and she lost her stereo and other stuff. We’re filling out the police report in an hour. It’s a mess. What makes it even worse is that I’m missing a job [...] He Hates His Gay Neighbor, But Not For Being Gay

Dear Mik and Mike: I got my car stuck in the garage door and had to be nice to my gay neighbor for an hour before I could get it out with a shovel wrapped in a towel. I almost got stuck in the small space I had to partially climb through, all the while [...] Family Heirlooms: Art or Source of Ready Cash?

Dear Mik and Mike: I have a huge family problem and I need help. I just found out my sister has taken my dead mother’s gold jewelry and sold it at one of the places that advertises they will buy all your gold. Some of these pieces have been in our family for three generations [...] Dissatisfied Baby Sitter Wants Out

Dear Mik and Mike: I am a grown man, but my major job is caring for a dolphin swim yoga guru’s three out of control children who make me very upset at times and I often lose my temper. It pays the bills and I get to live in a great place, eat good food [...]
