I have slowly,
not always smoothly,
not always with confidence,
inched myself out onto this limb.
It
is
far
safer
near
the
trunk.

Ask Mister Helpful
July 5, 2006
Question:
Dear Mister Helpful,
I love to eat at McDonalds because it is cool and the food is really really good. But every time I eat there I feel sick about 45 minutes later. What should I do?
Signed, Nauseous in Nashua
Answer:
Dear Nauseous,
Try eating 45 minutes earlier.
I’m lovin’ it,
Mr. H.
