Hi, Mike.
Welcome back Winifred!
Well, her advice is sharp as always, clipped and direct to the point. I'm guessing that her kids don't play in any organized sports for fear of getting a tongue lashing. LOL Tell Winifred to place her bets on the horses, or better yet, feed the slots in a casino. LOL
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Thanks Rosalyne; and you know the image you probably get of casinos, at least I do, of a chain-smoking older "Well, maybe not now than smoking is banned!) lady playing two or three slot machines at the same time? That image IS Winifred!
-
Perfect image of Winifred! That would make for a great story, aggressive columnist hogs machines, while giving advice to the poor standby's that cross her path or worse, dare to try and use one of the nearby machines. LOL
Comment from jadapenn
Ouch, but I loved this. No matter what you're in nowadays, it's for the money and not for the love of the game. Yeah, even if it isn't your own money. It you want to go out there and put up a show then it better be the right one. Get tough, tiger and hammer or catch that damn ball. lol. Good one and I'm glad she's back after her sabbatical. Luv jada

Thanks Jada, yeah, she took a little break to work on her life story, but even she finally had to admit it was too damn depressing, so she gave up that idea!

Oh, by the way, thanks much for the Six-Star rating!
Comment from Sam Mendonca
Ahh , it's so nice to have Wenifred back doing her thing.
I missed her comments to some very strange people who actually have the nerve to write in to her.
Nicely done, my friend.

Thanks Sam; and I cant imagine why people keep writing in!
Comment from Dean Kuch
My dearest Winifred,
While I do very much appreciate the timely response to this query, and the obvious lack of tact and devotion it took to write it, I must emphatically disagree with you.
First of all, while I agree winning a game is everything, it is not the only thing important to parents who have kids in these types of leagues.
For starters, to win one measly game is never enough. No, you must win the championship, get selected for the little league All-Star team each and every year, and win the league title every time you get lucky enough to play for it. Nothing less than a huge trophy and tons of ribbons and awards will ever be enough.
Sincerely,
Son of The True Meaning of Sports.
Nice work here, Mike! :D

Dear Son of the True Meaning of Sports; I'll have to catch up on reading your advice column--oh, that's right, you don't HAVE one; let's see, advice from me, a published author, or you, whatever you are; a inbred loser perhaps? Winifred
-
Inbred, no, loser, well...opinions there vary, Bwa-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-
Look pal; the only opinion that means s**t is the one from yours truly; that's me, for you slow-thinking idiots! Winifred
-
And that's the only one that should matter, Wininie, my dear. Our own, Heh-heh...
-
Winnie told me to answer for her, since she's running late for the big Cigarette Makers Hoe Down Jamboree(she signs autographs for her fan) and she told me to tell you f****g A right, but secretly she was most impressed with your graphics; now I'll get a Winnie-Reaming for telling you that!
-
Hah, hey, in all seriousness, it's been a blast, Mike...LOL!
-
Yes, it has been; I hope you know that I'm dead serious! No, thank you for being a good sport; Winnie tells me to tell you she feels a little differently!
-
Ha-ha-ha, I'm sure she does, Mike. I'm sure she does! :D
-
I gave up trying to guess what Winifred's thinking!
-
Hah, I'm afraid to guess what Winnifred might be thinking! Scary... :D
Comment from Pyrrho
Excellent prose and for me, the stark truth. However the stark truth must be tempered by the intrinsic ethical code within some of us; granted, probably less the a percent, but religion has failed to divert a few of us to the Dark Side.

Thanks much; she's a character I write who doesn't have a clue, doesn't realize it, and doesn't particularly care WHAT the reader thinks!
Comment from lizabethrita
Winifred you're such a bitch! But you're funny as hell ,truly unexpected, my dear. In it the truth? Do some bumbling. Bonehead, parents, live vicariously through these small replicas of themselves.
I bet it would have shocked everyone to know what they had done, when it was their turn to lace up those cleats. Huh.
Grow up Poppa.

Thanks; and I thought I'd take a jab at some of the things I've seen parents do at little league games, be it baseball, football, or whatever!
Comment from Kingsland
What a bitch, said the bastard with an ingrown toe nail. Boy oh boy, this sure has some nastiness about its thoughts, but I do believe the whole intent of this piece was satire. This was a very enjoyable shot story line to have read and written this response for... John

Thanks John; and yes, all the 'advice' Winifred gives is satire in nature. I thought it would be humorous if the exact wrong type of advice-giver gave their 2 cents worth!
