Need Help With Senior Ad! Got Teenagers?

I need to get a senior ad (those ads they sell to parents for the back of the school yearbook) mailed in within the next couple days and I'm having a hard time coming up with something to write in it. Originally we were going to use the Winston Churchill quote "Success is a journey, not a destination." but I just really don't like it for my daughter. Today I came up with "You may be growing up, but you'll never outgrow our hearts!", but that's pretty sappy, so I don't know.

She's going off to college in the fall, undecided about what she wants to do. She's a good kid (and our only one), really never gave us any trouble. Likes the band Alkaline Trio, so a cool qoute from one of their songs would be good.

I know some kids don't like the senior ads, but my daughter loves the attention. She's one of the ones that likes to have flowers delivered to her at school on her birthday.

If you have high-schoolers could you look in the back of their yearbooks at the senior ads and see if any parents came up with a good quote or something clever?? OR ask your teens what they would like to see written there.

Thanks!!

If you have more of a 'fun' relationship and want to avoid something sappy, what about: ""Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way." - Dr. Seuss

Then maybe add something about a childhood memory?

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

That one is nice, too.

Adding a memory that will make her laugh would probably be something she would like. Congrats to her!

I haven't had teenagers for more than 20 years, but congratulations ... it's an exciting time to see your child graduate!

Personally, I love my signature at the end of my posts.

I don't know if this will work, but its a pretty good song quote under any circumstances:

"Don't let us get sick,

Don't let us get old,

Don't let us get stupid, alright?

Just make us be brave,

And make us play nice,

And let us be together tonight."

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Yeah I think my body is definitely telling me to lay off the alcohol I just don’t seem to agree with it right now but that might be because my gut is still trying to heal.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...
