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."

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
