Dear Shawna:
You need to find your favorite song

dirty diapers. You’re the winner in
this bunch and you should be on
your way to college and a blessed
life. Go for the gold, shake it off and
encourage your friends to achieve

Dear Deanna!
I spend a lot of time being friends
with women, listening to their prob­
lems and just being a great guy. I'm
in a situation with a friend that I now
want a relationship with but she
isn’t interested. Once I made my
feelings known she has basically
kicked me to the curb. I can’t under­
stand why she took my money,
used my car and came to me with al 1
of her problems but won’t date me.
