Dear Margo: Her Mother, the Dinosaur

LW #1- Many people have advocated for the military option. Please heed the advice. It is a wonderful way not only to educate yourself, but to give back to this wonderful country we live in (and yes, I am a Navy Brat, an Army Wife, and Marine and Army Mom!).

You deserve to live your own life. That means that you put yourself first. Your brother and your mother are adults too!

LW #2 - My husband and I ran into a similar problem when we purchased our travel trailer. suddenly EVERYONE we knew was interested in camping and wanted to use our trailer. We finally hit on this idea…

a weeks worth of insurance, payment, wear and tear, not to mention a cleaning deposit and and written contract to that effect.

It’s amazing how many people suddenly weren’t interested any more!

Dear Margo: Saying Good-bye

Having had to arrange a funeral at the last moment, with no help, I see and appreciate the gift of having my wishes made clear. Personally, being of Irish descent, I have opted for the Irish wake, with my ashes scattered over my beloved mountains. This way my family gets a chance to come together and mourn, and then celebrate my life. And they don’t have for fork over and abscene amount of money to a funeral home! My family will have enough on their hands when the time comes, so why not make it clear and straightforward?

Dear Margo: Sick of the Tall Remarks

I am the youngest in my family and I am "only" 5’6". My father was 6’2" and my mother is 6’. My brother is 6’2" and my sister is just shy of 6’. When my mother and sister would get people comment on how they "couldn’t possibly be 6’ tall!", my mother would reply "you’re right. I’m only 5’ 12" tall". the response? "I knew you couldn’t be 6’ tall!"

Dear Margo: Has He Gotten the Red Sports Car Yet?

LW #1 My husband also has a female boss, and if he EVER bought her a gift, it had better be one I chose and that we gave her at her party with her signifigant other attending! He is most certainly engaging in an emotional affair at the very least!

LW #2 I am not really sure where to begin other than to say "HELLO?" Why is 42 too old to "find someone else?" I know of a couple who didn’t find each other until the lady was 43…and they have been married for over 25 years. Happy anniversary, Mom! THe most attractive people in the world are those who like themselves. Concentrate on that and you will find yourself a better person and a great parent.
