You were hard on her. Good men are hard to find. I enjoy reading your column every week but you should ease up a bit. Signed, Avid Reader Dear Avid Reader, Thank you for being a regular reader and taking time to write. While the column is for entertainment only, I do realize that on occasion people send in questions they are struggling with because they can get input and remain anonymous. Our Christian gal was asking for the answer she got by throwing in she was Christian. It’s like saying I’m the town sheriff but I rob banks on the side because it’s expensive raising kids today. You’re either true to your principles or you’re not. She could have spun the question any way she cared to. Good men are hard to find for some women but they shouldn’t be. There are plenty of good men who would make fine mates. It all depends on where you’re looking and what you want. And don’t tell me all the good ones are married either. What do you say men. How about sending in some comments about how to find a good man? I dare ya! Al Dear Boomer Al, I’m sixteen and my parents are hard on me. I have a curfew of 11PM even on weekends. My boyfriend’s is midnight. I get good grades and stay out of trouble. All my other friends’ curfew is 12 or 1AM. They still threaten to ground me over the smallest things. What do you think? Signed, Smothered Dear Smothered, I know the High School years can be a lot of fun. Your social life is an important part of school as you learn to conduct yourself in a responsible and safe manner. Be happy your parents love you enough to care where you are and with whom. You are still at a very vulnerable age, and this can be a very dangerous world. I feel your curfew is very appropriate for your age. I think prom night or a function of some type when your parents know where you are could probably be negotiated on a situational basis. My children negotiated the return time by day. I sometimes permitted the later hours. My daughter got me a few times by staying over a friends house who had more liberal parents but when I discovered what was up it cost her trust and more restrictive rules. Show your parent that you can be trusted by obeying the rules as they are for now. You will be rewarded later as you establish your trustworthiness. Please remember to never be afraid to call your parents if you feel you are in a situation that is getting out of hand. They would be heartbroken to think you feared their discipline more than you understood their love for you. Parenting is very difficult. You will learn that for yourself someday. For the present, give them the benefit of the doubt that they have your best interests at heart. I’m proud of you for getting good grades and staying out of trouble. Al PS; Check out "Coffee with Maddie" this week ... Great article about moms and kids ... brings back memories :) Maddie Goes to College _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ In a letter to the editor of the local Scripts Howard publication ... One writer responded that the comparison of the Bush administration to Hitler's government was appropriate. Really. I think a number of people would beg to differ with you. I find it amazing that we elect leaders then we refuse to let them lead. Will I vote for Bush next time? I don't know today about three years from now ... but if the election were tomorrow absolutely. I learned all I needed to know about this man from the pitchers mound in Yankee Stadium following 9/11. Out he walks alone, an easy target, and says to the world, here's to you. We will not be intimidated. This is our country. This is a man's man loyal to his principles, his family, and his faith. We've done worse my friends! Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ Two partners had come to the parting of the ways over social and business differences. "You stole my accounts!" shouted one, "You Crook!"

Some people are very sensitive and the old line that there is some truth in every tease lingers in people's minds. Be known for your supportive friendly ways. it will open many doors for you in life. Listen with your heart. How about Helen's gas deal ... with rising costs it's the perfect answer See Helen's Web Site Have fun. It's later than you think.
