When I was your age, I wish someone had told me.....

[Syble]

If a young adult asked you for one piece of advice, what would you tell them?

[Syble]

Wait a few years before you get married and start a family.

[Karin M Fichtner]

Never count on someone else to "make you happy"; the only one responsible for your happiness....is you.

[Syble]

That is so true and so misunderstood.

[Jozee]

Save money for emergencies and use your best judgments in situations.

[Grandma Helen]

Get as much education as you can and then find a good job with a large company or the government so you have a pension.  

[East TX granny]

Be careful of who you choose for friends and never let anyone treat you like crap.

[officerripley]

So true what everyone else has said so far.

[Grandma Helen]

Hi Officerripley.  Are you where all the fires are out west?

[officerripley]

Hi, Helen; we're close enough; we haven't had to evacuate but 1 cousin-in-law did (luckily his house made it & he's back home) and another cuz-in-law was even closer to us & was under evac. watch for a while. We've got ashes all over the yard, the vehicles and I'm starting to forget what a blue sky looks like, still so much smoke in the air. It's frustrating: it's finally starting to cool off but the air is so bad we can't turn off the A/C or open windows. At least our skies aren't red or orange anymore.
