Introduction

[Guest guest]

Greetings to all,

I recently subscribed to mitooldies at the request of our physicians. My

daughter, lies, is 19 and very much an adult. is almost 16 and fast

approaching adulthood. Unfortunately this means that many of the new issues we

are confronting are of an adult nature and we/I need the benefit of the

experience you have all acquired before us. Funny, it seems the issues tend to

be far more common in the older, more mature adults historically. At least, I

never expected to be dealing with some of them during the transition from teen

years into adulthood. Oh, where has time gone?

So, as long as no one objects, I would like to become a member of your group and

have access to recommendations more appropriate for an adult dealing with the

challenges now confronting us.

ps. was with me in St. Louis. was the teen with her faithful

service dog, Brooklyn (for those who noticed the girl with the dog). Both girls

are planning to travel to Atlanta next June for the conference. Yes, that means

two dogs, Stitches and Brooklyn, will also be in attendence.
