MARNIE WINSTON-MACAULEY:

ASK SADIE: The Column

     Since 1994, when cyberhearts were first introduced to “Cyber-Sadie” on ABC Love Online, readers have been treated to Marnie Winston-Macauley’s no-nonsense, witty, irreverent, frequently hysterical ... and on-target approach to advice. Listen ..............

Advice. We all get it, we all give it. Some of us shouldn't. Some of us should go into aluminum siding.

— Bad advice people who think they're God. I don't do God. God didn't make me a partner. This isn’t the garment center.
— Bad gurus who think advice is cheap pantyhose, push a one size fits all answer, then call you a “slut,” “bum,” or biological error if you don't “do” life their way.
Not my job. My job is to find a useful answer. If we laugh a little, better. It's in the absurdity of human behavior that we find perspective. And that’s very serious business.”

     In 2002, Tribune Media Services embraced Macauley’s innovative approach to problem-solving. In her three times weekly column, “Ask Sadie,” she’s the only advice maven to turn a Q & A into Life Strategies, with her “Getting It! Your Personal Strategy” component. Drawing upon her diverse and extraordinary experience, she uses bulleted steps to tell readers how and where to go — with smarts, humor and attitude. Lots and lots of attitude in papers from the Detroit Free Press to the Baltimore Sun.

     In 2004, "Sadie" dispensed advice on FOX5 News this Morning in Las Vegas.
