Dear The holder of mass knowledge and experiences,
Due to the upcoming concert season with the Mr. Take Me away from this moment and transport me to my ideal place that is in my mind (aka Jimmy), I am worried about getting pavilion tickets to his concert in Cincy without using a ticket broker. Is there any suggestions or actions that you can make so I can be assured of pavilion tickets this year.

Dear Mings,
Is true that you are a "dynasty" or are you just a vase

Dear Great Cuban Drink That You Are,

I get this question a lot as my readers often become intrigued with the level of knowledge and wisdom that I present daily. It is only normal to wonder if that which you read is real. The answer surprises all - I am both. I am a "dynasty". As Messers Merriam and Webster will describe "Dynasty", it is to them, a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a long time. Since dynasty's are not possible with individuals, unless they are part of a greater whole, it is important to remember that I am a collection of various personalities, all of whom are able to control something. I am a vase as well, as I am the holder of many things, a container for knowledge and experiences that would otherwise have no home. The other thing about a vase is that they are naturally empty, which is eeriely similar to the status of my head, as there is nothing in there.

So that is the story of Mings.

Dear Mings -

I am in the process of packing for the move to my first house. My problem is that I am beginning to bounce off the walls uncontrollably due to overwhelming excitement. This uncontrollable bouncing then leads to the knocking over of the boxes I have packed causing a large mess and the need to repack. Is this a normal occurance or do you recommend a remedy for the above mentioned bouncing?

Dear Bouncy,

It would seem that you have a little Tigger in you, Eeyore. The problem to which you refer is very typical, and symptomatic of the house buying/moving experience. There are a few things you can do to deal with your inner Tigger, however none of them involve the restraint of your aforementioned bouncies. The easiest way to deal with the bouncies is to use them to your advantage. Start by asking someone with noticeably less excitement in their life right now (ie they do not have the bouncies) and ask them to wrap any and all valuables and breakables located throughout your current residence. (Note: if this is not possible, procure a large role of bubble wrap.) Then, for what remains, fold and prepare boxes and place them throughout your current residence beneath bookcases, shelves, and basically anything that is taller thank the boxes. Then call someone who hasn't heard about the new house and gush. As you bounce off the walls, you will pack the boxes below and very quickly you will see that excitement works for you. (In the event that you procured the bubble wrap, place the bubble wrap around such breakable items before making your phone calls.) It is also important to note that Roo and Kanga can be contacted for assistance.

Best of luck with the house and be wary of the bouncing around sharp door jams and eaves and overhangs.

Yours in the Hundred Acre Wood,
Mings
