People have absolutely lost their minds! I'm convinced, it must be something in the water, because women, and men as well, who normally have good sense are now acting like they need to be put on some type of medication. I got a letter from a sister this week who SAW her husband with his ex-girlfriend and is ready to jump on the woman, but give her husband a pass. You guys know, Uncle Kathy ain't having none of that!   more »

Keith, I hope you're keeping track, because this is Uncle Kathy's third (3rd) week in a row making sure I complete my advice column. This will be the first time since I moved to Baltimore that I can actually put in an invoice for a full month's check for this freelance writing job.   more »

Uncle Kathy knows what you're thinking (Keith), you're saying to yourself, "Uncle Kathy isn't going to post a blog two weeks in a row!" Well, better late than never I always say. Actually, I'm not late for this week's advice column, I'm early for next week. How you like them apples?   more »

I shouldn't have left you, without some advice to step to..." OK, I'm biting Eric B. & Rakim's rap lyrics, but Uncle Kathy is back (sound the alarm). My AOL account was flooded with e-mails this morning and I really appreciate the love from the people who enjoy Uncle Kathy's advice columns week after week. I was told by some of you that the "honeymoon is over" and that I should get back to work. So, here I is, in all my glory!   more »

I've been sitting on the edge of my seat all day watching the ongoing coverage on CNN of the gay marriages in California. If flights weren't so expensive, Maggie and I would hop on a plane and join them. But, I don't know if I want to necessarily get married again (been there, done that). I'm amazed at all the naysayers who want to stop two people from being in love and spending the rest of their lives together. Gay married people only want the same thing as straight married people: APPARENTLY TO BE MISERABLE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!   more »

My niece sent me an ugly e-mail this morning after she got an alert from "Keith" that he was snitching early and reminding her that I am due for my advice column today. Listen you guys, Uncle Kathy has been held up with her lady love and I wasn't thinking about you. I'm just kidding, truth be told, I've grown fond of this website and my weekly advice columns...   more »

OK, so why didn't somebody snitch before now?  I'm too undone with er'rebody who reads the website and knows that Uncle Kathy is supposed to post every Tuesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon with her advice column!

You non-confrontational white folks got my blood boiling!  So my webmaster calls me today and says "Umh, I don't mean to taddle, but Uncle Kathy hasn't posted her advice column in three weeks, and I don't see anything in the hopper for today.  Can you shoot her an e-mail?"

"No!" I told him, "I'll just shoot her!"

He knew good and darn well Uncle Kathy was 'posed to post her column, and the moment he saw she wasn't doing her job, he should have jacked her up.  And if he was scared of her (which he should be), then he should have told me immediately!

And all of y'all, who read daily--Wendy, Keith, Craig, Parker, MC Hammer... y'all saw that Uncle Kathy wasn't keeping up and nobody snitched.

It wasn't until I got an e-mail from a daily reader named Robert in Atlanta saying how much he missed her columns that I realized Uncle Kathy wasn't living up to her end of the bargain.

Needless to say, I just got finished putting my foot down her throat and tap-dancing on her liver!  Now that we're done cussing each other out, making up, and laughing about the blog that will become of the moment, she'll be back next week with her "Uncle Kathy Knows Best" column.

And if y'all notice that she ain't doing her job--I need you to snitch right away!

You blog readers are something else. When I announced I had moved to Baltimore a few weeks back, I got bombarded with people from my new town searching for advice. One of which wants to know what to do with a co-worker who won't do her damn job. To snitch or not to switch, that is the question...   more »

The reason this economy is so messed up is because people can't live within their means. If you know you only make $20,000 a year, then don't go out and buy a BMW trying to impress your friends! This week's request for Uncle Kathy's expertise is all about how to straighten out finances. Cause I've got a woman planning a million dollar wedding on a welfare budget!   more »

There is a woman in Georgia who needs to "school" her big brother about taking care of his kids. Apparently she is playing "auntie" and "daddy" for special occasions and birthdays because her big bro is a dead beat dad. I would like to emphasize the word BEAT in that previous sentence...   more »

I'm at the airport on a plane heading to Baltimore. I'm moving there to be with my lady love--and I thought I had a week off so I could travel. But I just got a call from my niece saying if I ain't put in a two week's notice, then I still gotta work! She's a little upset actually, so I'm helping her out. It's Uncle Kathy to the rescue...   more »

Uncle Kathy is a smoker--been smoking since I was in 2nd grade with those candy sticks and when I got older, I moved up to Newports! Those damn smoking companies knew what they were doing--marketing Joe Camel cartoons and candy cigarettes to young kids to get us hooked early. This week's quest for advice comes from a woman who wants to quit smoking but don't know how. Baby, if Uncle Kathy had the answer to that question, I'd be rich and wouldn't be living with my damn momma...   more »

I knew it would only be a matter of time... we've got some "baby momma drama" in the lone star state. I feel like Maury Povich this week! The ex-girlfriend is doing everything from explicit phone calls to using the kids as "bait" to get her son's father back. Problem is, he's in a real good relationship with a woman who has had it up to HERE and is ready to attack the baby momma like a hungry pit bull. I say tie a pork chop on that heifer’s neck and bite until you draw blood...   more »

This week, Uncle Kathy is responding to someone who really doesn't need my help, but I'll weigh in on her situation anyway. Girlfriend got an Eliot Spitzer in her house--and has decided to take matters into her own hands! Ah, it warms my heart when a woman ain't scared to pick up a butcher's knife to get her point across.   more »
