The powers-that-be over here at RVANews think it’s high time I use my busy-body nature for good rather than evil. So starting RIGHT NOW, I will be accepting questions and offering advice* about anything: etiquette, grammar, how to propose to your girlfriend, nap-taking techniques, anything. My responses/advice will be posted on Mondays, the same day I post my Project Runway wrap-ups that no one reads! It’s like a twofer!

Send all inquiries to val@rvanews.com. I won’t include your name in my response, only painfully cliched aliases.

*Disclaimer: My only qualification for providing advice to anyone is that I think I know everything and I’m often right about most things.

Valerie Catrow is the former editor of RVANews who now spends her days raising her son, reading young adult fiction, and watching really bad television. When she's not contributing to our parenting column or ranting and raving on her personal blog, Made in Richmond, you can probably find her abusing the caps lock key on Twitter.
