    buenosheadshot01.jpgHey Buenos, I spent most of my youth working at construction sites and developed a few unlucky souvenirs like a bad back and ton of moles on my face and arms.  The other day I put my back out again trying to clean the gutters on my roof.  What do you do to stay healthy?

    buenosheadshot01.jpgMy longtime boyfriend and I have just gotten engaged to be married!  I'm very excited about it and I know he is too.  Part of my excitement is that I have always wished I could change my last name, Venkataramana, to one that is easier for Westerners to pronounce.  I know it seems old-fashioned but

    buenosheadshot01.jpgBuenos, I've been waiting for some time now to hear you tackle the issue of paranormal visitations.  What gives?  Have you ever been visited by spirits or ghosts?  Do you believe that they exist?  I need to know because I've been visited recently but everyone thinks I'm crazy.

  • Ask Mr. Manners, with Buenos the Cat

    buenosheadshot01.jpgHello Buenos, My roommate is a disgusting pig. She lets her dirty dishes pile up for weeks, lets her food go moldy in the fridge, gets hair dye stains all over the bathroom, and leaves her dirty clothes scattered about the apartment, among other things.

  • Ask Mr. Manners, with Buenos the Cat

    buenosDear Mr. Buenos, I live a blessed life in the little hamlet of Sioux City, Iowa with my wonderful wife and my two beautiful children.  I have a decent job selling car insurance and a network of supportive friends who know me very well.  Why would I have any reason to be depressed, right?  Well even with all that my Father God has given me I still have found myself feeling the terrible weight of depression for weeks now.  I've been having trouble sleeping, thinking about the drudgery of my existence.  I've been loosing weight at an alarming speed and just recently I wasn't able to make love to my wife.  It hurt her feelings terribly and I'm afraid my depression might become contagious to her if I can't give her the love and support that she needs.  Why would God put me through this?  I have to confess that I question His existence now that I'm in this terrible funk.  Do you have any words of support for people out there having their faith questioned? - Downer Steve
