Dear Diver,
Does this town really need more townhomes?
– Wondering,
Melissa, Durango
Dear Melissa,
Absolutely not! Let’s turn toward affordable housing.
Hopefully our newly elected City Council members will address
this problem and solve it. Think globally and act locally.
– Diver
Dear Diver,
I’m an archeologist. I’ve been hired
to work on a controversial building project in this area, and
I have a dilemma. I am firmly against this building project,
however if I take the job I am going to make some serious bank.
Do I forego my beliefs and take the job since I desperately
need the money, or should I stick to my guns? I don’t
want to be poor forever!
– Hugh,
Durango
Dear Hugh,
Never “forgo” your beliefs. Money comes and money
goes. Once you sell your soul, there’s no turning back.
Make a difference, not a profit. You should set a new standard!
Step up.
– Diver
Dear Diver,
Why are things sometimes spelled with silent letters,
such as “knight?” Can’t you just take away
the “k?” Let me know.
– Linda, Durango
Dear Linda,
With poetic license one can do anything. Take that “k”
away. Happy semantics!
– Thanks, Diver

Dear Diver,
There’s a guy at work who complains all
the time about not being able to get women to go out with
him. In trying to boost his self-esteem, I gave him a little
pep talk and complimented him on his good qualities. After
that, you guessed it, he asked me out. How do I let him
know I was just trying to be a friend without hurting his
self esteem?
– C.F.
Dear C.F.,
This is quite a mess you’ve gotten yourself into.
I’m afraid there is no delicate way to break a man’s
heart. If he’s such a “great” guy, maybe
you should give him a chance. Good luck.
– Diver
P.S. Fat people need love, too!
Diver,
I’m a diver, too, but don’t want
to dive anymore. Doing dishes sucks. Do you have any aspirations
to not be a diver?
– Sincerely,
Chris
Dear Chris,
Dishes don’t do themselves. Fortunately, I had aspirations
to not do dishes a long time ago. Now when faced with dirty-ass
dishes, I find it somewhat therapeutic. Quit bitching.
– Thanks,
Diver
P.S. There’s nothing worse than
a salty diver.
