I have to agree, with a steady job and a few friends to help out, M.A.E. will make it and do well enough. She was so knotted up over her BF cheating on her, but it's what gave her that final push to get out and be her own person. So in a back-handed sort of way (several people would like to backhand him), he also helped her.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-31586159216582706912010-08-05T12:21:37.921-04:002010-08-05T12:21:37.921-04:00It's an amazing step in the right direction.

The accomplishment of getting out on your own and being the person that made everything come to together is a shot in the arm for self confidence and a good indicator that while today it's just Burger King tomorrow it's something better paying with better hours and better benefits.Lacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739974894761463500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-3772362419133309282010-08-05T10:53:47.191-04:002010-08-05T10:53:47.191-04:00Heh, I think that's how my mom's middle na...Heh, I think that's how my mom's middle name is spelled too. But in M.A.E.'s case, it's an abbreviation.

If you're able to let her know that she can count on you, should she need a hand, that would probably be very much appreciated. <br /><br />MAE is my daughter's middle name :).
