[tri-med] Re: Birthdays & Angel days

My dughter did the same thing at 18.  I always tell her when she turned 18,
her mind went to lunch and didn't return.  She is fine now, 33, married with
4 children.  Guess 4 children have a way of maturing you!  Ha Ha.  Now she
has 13 year old... Can you say "payback"?
