Tips from Terry

In a new book, Terry McMillan is offering tips for college-bound graduates. I have yet to see the book, which I am eager to do because here are some of the tips. None of which seem very enlightening:


Among Terry McMillan's tips for grads:
No. 1: Sit up straight and walk tall.
No. 12: Make God proud.
No. 17: Beg for money. . . . This way your
parents will know you still need them for something.
No. 23: If you drink, try not to get sloppy drunk, and if you can, avoid doing drugs

Wait, does she really say "if you can," avoid drugs?! What does that mean?! LOL!

That's like saying if you can, walk right into a bank that's clearly being robbed!

P.S. Love the site!

Now see, that's how come folks like to call a certain segment of society, what's that word I'm looking for - ghetto?
