Lynn's Comments: Balancing my checkbook was and still is one of my least favorite things to do. My daughter will chase down a discrepancy to the penny. I'm happy if my cheques don't bounce. When I worked for my dad in the jewelry store, I was fine with clients, cleaning and window displays, but I was kept away from the till. My guess is- that even with today's electronic calculators I would still find ways to make mistakes!

Lynn's Comments: I could never enjoy sports on TV, but take me to a game- any game and I could find something good about it. People-watching was better than the sport itself and I don't think anything tastes better than a hot dog at a stadium. I'd go to spend quality time with my "other half", pretend to understand what was happening and look forward to half time. Did you know that the pixellated scoreboard was first invented by a woman? Well, you've gotta do SOMETHING while you're hanging around!!

Lynn's Comments: The childhood horror of having to clean off a plate full of cold stuff haunts me still. Too bad the image of Mom standing over me (with a look that would scare the **** out of a mugger)...and a plate of cold liver doesn't deter me. I can eat anything right out of the refrigerator...especially cake.

Lynn's Comments: Moms need best friends, too; someone to confide in, someone who will tell it like it is. Friends who tell you the truth with kindness and diplomacy are a gift. I am lucky to have such friends.
