You made me count: 14 nephews, 10 nieces...so far.
I have an 18 year-old brother and a 15 year-old sister,
too, so..


I am telling you... twenty-four nephews and nieces, from a couple of siblings, one of whom is 18, the other, 15... for the sake of humanity, at what age did they start to propagate the branches on the family tree?

I think under the circumstances the best advice to them at the wedding would be "hold off the wedding until at least you'll be old enough to understand my advice, please, I beseech you."

Its easier to repair than to replace



easiest is to do nothing. Which includes sub-categories, such as 'chuck it' 'trash it' 'take it down to the GoodWill collection receptacle.'

There are a dozen siblings to reach that 24 :-)

My friend dated this girl for a while. She was fantastic. Most of all, she put up with all his bs. Yes, this dude is a good friend but when it came to relationships, he just never got it. So, when this girl came into his life and treated him like royalty, I had "the talk" with him. And it basically went like this...

"Dude. Wake Up!!!! The most amazing girl you ever dated is by your side. And if you keep phucking around, you will lose her. And then you'll wonder why you let her go. If you want her for always, you need to get real and treat her better than she treats you."

He proposed to her six months later. She said yes.

As my nephews and nieces got married over the
years they would ask me for advice.
I found myself repeating the same thing to them,
dependent upon their gender.
It would go like this:

To the boys:
"This woman is willing to clean your toilets
for the rest of her life.
Give her anything she wants."

To the girls:
"Remember your wedding day.
This is the man you chose above all others.
Remember the reasons, and hold them close."

Jointly, I would tell them:
"You will know each other's faults better
than anyone.
Keep them folded away, like old flags.
Respected, as part of the whole."

Have you handed out advice, for the long haul?


I care about people finding and keeping love before it dies out. It shouldn't but it does. People forget the reason why the person means a great deal us all too often.

I've given advice since I was a wee lass. I knew how people operated and what they needed. The truth is, I'm glad I never lost the innocent way of thinking because it kept me the person I am today. I give advice because I believe people want to hear the truth and they want to win. To win to me means to uncompromise your disarming persona against competition. If you are being yourself and they have a problem with it then its something they should take up with their pharmacist. For the long haul? We can sure try for for the idea of "till our dying day."

For once I agree with Mr. Maroon up there. A lot of dudes need some major slapping for letting an amazing girl walk out their lives. The girl he described seems an all too familiar story that happens when men seem to think there is always something better out there. Do we know its true? Not really. What we do know is cherish the gifts that were given to you. In that moment or you will lose them forever. I guarantee life won't give you a girl like that again.
