Welcome back to the Dear Gabby advice column. I’m not talking to Siri anymore. I was in a playful mood this morning, so I asked my phone, “Siri, am I the fairest of them all?” and she activated the front camera. Very funny! To all of the Dads: may your Father’s Day be better than your jokes. Speaking of jokes, life is just too short to be serious all the time. So, if you can’t laugh at yourself, drop me a line and I’ll laugh at you. Send your questions to me by going to www.PostcardsLive.com/share and clicking on Dear Gabby.

DEAR GABBY

It’s swimsuit season, and I am not looking forward to it! I am not young and skinny, but I do love to go to the pool and cool off. In my defense, I was quarantined with a kitchen full of food a while back. What’s a lady to do?

Dear Suitable

I keep hoping I’ll become old enough to not care what other people think about the way I look, but that hasn’t happened, yet. So, in the summer, I try on my bathing suit first thing every morning. That way, nothing worse can happen the rest of the day! I can relate about the quarantine, but I just read the average human is 60% water. I’m not fat, I’m flooded! While I am certainly not bikini ready, I am definitely poncho ready. A good cover-up makes a world of difference. At my age, the only thing I’m buying that’s two-piece are dentures!

I work with the crabbiest, nasty person in the world. His desk is right by the front door, and everyone feels like they need to say something to this person when they come into the building. Some people say “Good morning” or tell him to have a nice day, but they really don’t mean it. What can I say to him that isn’t hypocritical or a downright lie?
