Email Carolyn at [email protected]BusinessKicked to the curb!Dear Carolyn, Where do you get off telling my boyfriend he needs to kick me to the curb? You have no idea what I put up with. You think you are so smart? You try living with a self-centered, lazy, rude, man-child who doesn’t bathe as often as he should. Throw in a mama’s boy […]July 7, 2011BusinessMy boyfriend cheated on meDear Carolyn, I feel like I’ve wasted a whole year of my life. I was dating a guy who I thought was the last good guy on earth. We are both truckers and he understood what I go through on the road. I saw him as my knight of the highway. Somehow, he managed to […]June 30, 2011BusinessFacebook friends are not enoughDear Carolyn, I am a pretty lonely guy and can’t seem to figure out why. I am a professional truck driver, in good shape and am well read. I also have nearly 600 “friends” on Facebook. What do you think I’m doing wrong? Billy Dear Billy, Driving a pick-up truck doesn’t make a guy a trucker […]June 27, 2011BusinessWorries about WeinergateDear Carolyn, All this news attention on Weinergate makes me anxious about my husband who is always on the road. Do you think most men send suggestive pictures to strangers online? Should I check his computer history? Sally Dear Sally, Oh, please don’t make me have to use all my good Weiner jokes for this […]June 15, 2011BusinessTrucker gives relationship adviceHi Carolyn, I enjoy your column in Truckers New. However, I don’t believe that part about “… even not a very nice person.” I am writing about your advice to Tracy about the “red flags.” There are some proactive things Tracy could do to expose those red flags. Time often brings out the best and […]June 6, 2011BusinessWhat a woman says and what she really means!Dear Carolyn, My girlfriend is obviously mad at me. Every time I ask her what’s wrong, she’s says, “nothing.” Why can’t a woman just say what she means? When she say’s “nothing,” I say, “fine.” Bruce Dear Bruce, How’s that working out for ya? You can tell how mad a woman is by how fast […]June 1, 2011BusinessAge old questionDear Carolyn, Are you still around? I remember reading you when you were Dear Betty. You must be super old by now! Pete Dear Pete, Put it this way: in dog years, I’m dead! (and you don’t look so hot yourself!) I’m just say’n, CarolynMay 31, 2011BusinessTruckers get a bad rap!Dear Carolyn, I’m sick and tired of people assuming my husband cheats on me when he’s on the road. We have a strong marriage, a supportive family and great kids. When I tell people what he does for a living, I get questioned about his fidelity. I know some guys use this job to cover […]May 26, 2011BusinessWhat's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?Dear Carolyn, For someone who says they are “not a nice person” you seem very nice and truthful. Darren Dear Darren, Thank you. I am (truthful and sort of nice) But, sometimes, as they say, the truth hurts! I am more the straight talking kind than the beat around the bush kind. It’s a tough world […]May 11, 2011BusinessHe learned from his mistakeDear Carolyn, I’m dating a man that was married to a terrible woman. She ran around on him and let him down in so many ways. He says he’s learned a lot about life and love from all the mistakes they made. We are really good together and thinking about marriage. However, I worry that […]May 10, 2011Previous PagePage 17 of 23Next PageTop StoriesTrucker of the YearCarving a niche in fresh meat, multistop delivery: Trucker of the MonthJason Shelly's living his own maxim to work at what you love.
