Use your power. <br />And now you're off to university, where you'll doubtless meet someone who'll be a friend for life, likely not the person you think is the most likely candidate for that role. Good luck discovering that person among all the new faces.

There's a whole load of us middle-aged and older (and I'm sure younger) blog readers looking out for your adventures. Enjoy! And explore--you can't possibly know at this point everything you'll be interested in. And, keep checking in on this blog--so much wisdom. And if you follow the advice of anyone, here I'd recommend Ann Mason- she's a nurse. Probably knows just about anything there is to know. And seems to still have faith in people. Which is comforting. And, GO GET EM!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946905881136839301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13188060082381588142018-08-19T21:28:25.539-04:002018-08-19T21:28:25.539-04:00Then you should keep the name as your secret ident...Then you should keep the name as your secret identity.

Back in ancient of days, when direct conversation with Mother was by the collect telephone call and men and women went to separate colleges, my mother’s side of one such call was this line, repeated and repeated, “You went to Yale on a THURSDAY night!?” Always listen to Mother’s wisdom, just avoid answering some of her questions. Wishing you both well for this next adventure.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047379987310210498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-84630344883099200712018-08-19T15:41:48.659-04:002018-08-19T15:41:48.659-04:00Happy birthday, Virginia!

Of course, listening to your mother will forever be a great idea, and her listening to you when you need someone to be there for you will be the best sounding board you can have.<br /><br />The shrimp supper sounds delicious, Julia and Celia. I don't have a Trader Joe's near me, but I'm betting I can find an acceptable substitute.

No one in this world will ever love you as much as she does. This is not debatable. <br /><br />And she actually is very smart.<br /><br />Enjoy the next four years because they will be over before you blink. And then life will happen big time. With few exceptions, everything that will be important to you hasn't happened yet. Your priorities will change over and over and over, and this is all right. It's happened to us all.<br /><br />Trust me.
