i love, love this woman.  quite honestly she gives the best advice i've ever seen.  i cannot tell you how many bits and pieces of columns of hers i've copied and pasted into running notepad files.

Not bad! Not bad at all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just her, or, since 15 years ago since I last read an advice-article, all the advice articles stopped going like: "well huh both sides have a saying i don't know really but let me type 3 pages about how exactly i have no clue..."?!

Unfortunately, I do this more and more often recently: make sentences that don't make sense.
The last time I was reading advice columns and magazines was in highschool, and they all sounded utterly non-useful and non-professional. Everything that would be written there sounded like my friends or I were contemplating about some question or another. In this article I was surprised how the journalist saw right to the point of a pretty shrouded (to me!) story that the reader asked about. So I wonder if the advice columns have changed for better anyway, or is this author just a lone prodigy?! And I'm guessing it's the latter, since you probably wouldn't be pointing it out otherwise hehe!

lol, she's pretty unique. there are a couple of columnists that delve into deeper behind-the-scenes stuff based on just a few paragraphs, but most of them i find saccharine and annoying and too therapy-therapy-therapy. hax is profoundly good at telling people they need to take a hard look at themselves without all that stuff (and with a level of human sympathy, as in, welcome to life!). plus i constantly see myself in the things she writes. it's like *free* therapy. ;-)
