Enough Is Enough

I just sent a flaming email to the Japan Times about their advice column Lifelines with Angela Jeffs. The lady could not give advice on how to tie your shoes. Her advice is baffling, if you have ever read one of her columns then you know what I mean. Here is the letter.

Dear Sirs,

I'm writing to you about your advice column with Angela Jeffs. Ms. Jeffs I hope you receive a copy of this email.

In the 20 plus years I have been reading the newspaper and there have been many, good and bad. Ms Jeffs colum is the worst advice column I have ever read. In referance to this weeks column (March 20th) Ms. Jeffs writes a reply about the French lady whose dentist told her to find a new dentist because of the column. She said the dentist was confused, I was confused by Ms. Jeffs column! I showed that article to my coworker and he was just as confused.

The correct answer to the lady's question should have been.
That Japanese dentists have a set of rules from the Japanese health insurance system. When you have your teeth cleaned it has to be done it two treatments. Unlike western dentist where you go in to get your teeth cleaned and they do the upper and lower at the same time. In Japan they are not allowed to bill the insurance company that way. I think most dentist who treat foreigners at one time just fix the paper work and have them pay dubble, because it is easier than explaining why the can only do half at a time.

The advice this lady gives is not only bad but at times ridiculous.
She told a woman who could get her child to eat meals but only wanted snacks to take the child to a herbalist! What?!?

Every time she writes I wonder what in the heck she is talking about.
This week she recommended a flag to a lady who wanted to give, "something truly Japanese" as a wedding gift! I have no doubt that the flag is nice but a wedding gift!!
Why not a traditional Japanese wedding gift. At this time I don't know what that would be, but I could google an answer in 2 minutes.
In her advice column she ALWAYS recommends a shop or service that people have to pay for. It makes me wonder if she receives money from these businesses for her moronic advice.

Here is my EMAIL ADDRESS PLEASE REPLY!!!!

I'm wondering if anyone will reply. I just could not take it anymore. That email is the first time I have ever sent an email or letter to a newspaper.
