Dorothea “Dot” Kham is a refugee from college, where she heard so many variations on the theme “because (someone) said so,” that she sold a shelf of textbooks mid-semester, used the scant proceeds to buy a used, two volume (w/ magnifying glass) Oxford English dictionary, dropped out, and hung up her shingle: Dot Kham, Freelance Helper.
With the support of a trust fund so modest that instead of keeping the wolf at bay it barely chases him around the corner, she found a windowless room to rent in the commercial district, and set out on her career as a therapist, without ever uttering, or writing, that expensive word. Twenty years later, we’re proud to broadcast her uncanny insights and helpful comments on the weary, woeful web.
