Dear Departed Di,
I have a question, is THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT a real movie?

Yes, it is a real movie. If it wasn’t a real movie, you wouldn’t have been able to watch it. However, and I think this is what you mean to ask, it’s not based on real events.

Dear Departed (princess) Di,
why have you suddenly started talking like an american? Please try to remember that you used to be a primary teacher not a kindergarten one.

Dear Sian,
whatever! If it’s good enough for the BBC, it’s good enough for me.

Regards, Diana

That depends which Richard Mccolloughis you’re talking about, and more importantly, what he said.

Dear Departed Di,
I have always admired Princess Diana. But I know for sure that you are not
her. The only way to rise someone from the dead is spells and that’s almost
impossible. I know you are not her because she didn’t like being a princess.
If you don’t believe me go to www.quotes.com!

“Almost impossible”, Katie? Nothing is impossible if one is a Princess.

Dear Departed Di,
How do you correctly address a former President of the United States?

The accepted form of address for a former President of the United States of America is “Former George W. Bush,” for example.

May I take this opportunity to say how nice it is to see young people showing an interest in the correct forms of address.

Yours sincerely, Diana

Dear Departed Di,
What was it like to be rich??

Louise, it was wonderful. The best part was that I could have paid for almost anything, and yet rarely need to pay for anything. I do suggest you try it some time.

Sincerely, Diana

How did the events play apart in your career choice?

I’m not sure which career choice you mean, amber. It’s a long time since I was a kindergarten teacher, but I find that answering your queries is very fulfilling and requires much the same skillset. The renumeration is about the same, too.

Sincerely, Diana

Well, Milena, do you want to be friends with Mathaabe forver? Only time will tell, but if you want to be friends forever, you’ll have to respect any choice you might make in the future.

Dear Princess Di,
Will I get a boyfriend soon?
“I LOVE YOU!”

With a go-getting attitude like yours, Heather, I think it’s only a matter of time before you get a boyfriend who deserves you.
Just remember, no boyfriend is worth an eating disorder!
Yours sincerely, Diana

Dear Departed Di,
I don’t know how to handle this situation, can you help?
My friend (36 years old) is getting married and she is wearing WHITE for the
wedding. I know for a FACT that she lived with a man for about three years
several years ago (not the groom), and I am positive they had sex at least
once, maybe several times.

How can I best tell my friend that she shouldn’t wear white and so embarass
herself on her wedding day?

It’s not true that wearing a white wedding gown is reserved for virgins. White can symbolise purity, but it can also symbolise joy. Brides wore coloured dresses until Queen Victoria made white wedding dresses popular in the 1840s. Your friend is merely a slave to a fashion that’s so 160 years ago.
Sincerely, Diana
