          Congrats . My first went a year then got married. Went thru the school of hard knocks but did finally land a wonderful job in computer stuff which was his chosen field that he was going to school for . Second , she did a 4 year humanities degree . Which you can't seem to make a living with but it does prove to employers that you can be trained . She now works with autistic kids which makes me proud. Third , she's a worker and has mad a place for herself in the clothing world as a window dresser / display setter . Forth ........well , were still working on that . He's trying to follow #3 but it doesn't seem to be working out for him and he doesn't want to work in a factory, if which I could help on . Again , good for you all .

            that must feel good. congrats to your son and you.

            I have no kids, unlike my family trait of babies everywhere..

            anyway. I have an adopted sister who just graduated yesterday with her associates, going onto 4 year now.. also 22 yrs old.
            I remember when she was so tiny the hospitals were close by. she could barely wrap a hand around my index finger

            the power of opportunity.

              To be "almost 48" would be sweet, right Dan?
