Lynn's Comments: Considering all the "health watch" infomercials and self-help columns, I've never read stats on the germ-spreading tradition of blowing out candles. Perhaps heat from the flame sears the bacteria! Anyone know if a study has been done?

Lynn's Comments: My rule for a birthday party was to allow my kids to invite the number of friends his/her age was. If Aaron was 5, he could invite 5 friends. This worked well until they were teenagers and the numbers soared. Teenagers were easier to clean up after. I'd always get them to help.

Lynn's Comments: Yup…another bad pun. I often wondered why my editors didn’t ask for a revision. Maybe they were sympathetic…they, too, were controlled by relentless deadlines.

Lynn's Comments: My dad was a jeweller. For my 15th birthday, he gave me a black diamond ring and said these exact words. So much of what went on in the comic strip was taken from my life past and present. I denied that Elly Patterson was me…but there certainly were similarities!
