Did your mother ever say?

Nobody should ever feel sorry for you, so keep your bad news to yourself and don't complain.

• Don't wear black slacks and a white top to a party or you will be mistaken for the help.


• You might as well stick to your plans if you're sick---it's better to mope around outside than in bed.


• Zip up your pocketbook.


• You're too short to wear a long jacket; you'll look like a mushroom.

• Get your hair out of your eyes. (MINE!)

• It's important to write a thank-you note.
