destroyed

QUESTION; I have a very dear friend who has given me scads of pleasure throughout our friendship. He’s a tease though and when he discovered an especially touchy spot in my personality, he has time and again ribbed me about it. It got so it really bugged me and to my great surprise I really blew my top. I lost my temper. I told him to get out and stay out of my life. I swore and screamed.

Security. What security? You can only have very

limited security, and .even.

this is not guaranteed. Security because of wealth?

Your wealth will make you envied; it will rouse the appetites of others; it will give you power but that power will be a threat to others. You'll be feared. When you are feared_or envied, beware! I remember an old movie in which Tony Randall was complaining about his bad luck: “Other. people start with nothing, ~ yet they succeed in making their

mark in life. But look at me! I was born with four million dollars in the bank and here I am, still with the same four tafllion. I can't get ahead in life”.

Like the old saying goes: a man with six children is happier than the man with six million dollars, in that he doesn’t want any more of what he's got!

STEWART: Thanks for your comments — I think.

QUESTION: What we need on the North Shore is some facility that is available to care for kids who are too old for day-care, but who need to be looked after, especially for a couple of hours after school. Do you know of any such help that is available?
