Dear Baba Rumcake,
My one dog keeps lick my other dog’s butt.
Is this rude in terms of dog behavior? Should I separate them or go into the other room as if nothing happened?

True Confessions Can Be Destructive
True Confessions Day
Please don’t be stupid and go confessing something that would cause trouble in your marriage or relationships in general. Just because today is True Confessions Day does not mean you should go into work and tell your Boss that you hate them, no matter how much you want to do it.
Just because today claims to be that day does not mean you have to tell your sister that if she was not family, you would never have thought of knowing her. It is not only creepy, it is rude and unnecessary.
Do not go and tell your spouse that you have been having an affair with her best friend. Who cares you silly sod. Keep it to yourself and do not ruin her life and her relationships. [Read more…] about True Confessions Can Be Destructive
Creep Hates Rejection Obviously
Dear Baba Rumcake,
I’m at a bar and someone I’m talking to asks, “So, if I give you my number will you call me?”
I responded with a simple smile of flattery and a verbal “No.”
He thought I was rude for saying that and told me so. I resisted saying he was rude for asking such a loaded question.
So, which is ruder?
Tell the person no, you won’t call him. It might hurt their feelings, but they know where they stand.
Tell the person yes, you’ll call and then let them wait for a phone call which will never come, and eventually causes them to think you’re a jerk for making an empty promise.

Pi Day, Who Knows What it Means
None of it makes any sense to me, so here it goes, be patient: Wikipedia says, Pi is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any Euclidean plane circle’s circumference to its diameter; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius.
It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in the usual decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve Pi, which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants.[1]
Pi is an irrational number, …………………
End Wikipedia. Start my nonsense.
So, as none of this made any sense to me, I find it important to post so that the people who actually get it might enjoy this moment of understanding something that most of us have given up on at this late time in our life. [Read more…] about Pi Day, Who Knows What it Means
Inconsiderate Walkers vs Conscientious Strollers
Dear Baba Rumcake,
What is the best way to deal with sidewalk hogs?
I don’t feel like I should be the one to walk in the grass (or mud), because I am walking by myself.
I need to know the most polite way to handle this problem, while not just letting people walk all over me.
