Each time you post, Ruth, you sketch in many more significant details.

The above as much as says your daughter is going to college either (a) to
meet a husband, or (b) because she's supposed to.

I guess I'd suggest she be offered the option of deferring college for
a year or two; IMO this is something many young people would benefit from.

First, the flunk rate for freshmen is apalling.  While some of the washouts
are students of marginal ability, many are extremely bright kids who
are just too immature to handle academic demands combined with the
relative freedom of living away from home.

Flunking out is painful; it feels like failure.  Perhaps more to the
point, many flunkouts don't get to go back to school for years, if ever.

Second, a couple of years of independent living (I'm assuming she'd
have to get her own place, and a job) can really help focus the mind
on how dismal it is to live at the bottom of the economic ladder.

If she's really as keyed into selflessness as you say (or perhaps 
she just wants to transfer her dependence onto another adult?)
perhaps working for a non-profit or a charity would do?

I'm sure I don't know enough about your situation, but it sure looks
like your daughter is being *pushed* to go to college.  And IMO
that's a recipe for trouble -- for both of you.

Thank you all for your responses to my posts of last week ("My Daughter Needs
to Be More Assertive...").  I'd especially like to thank the several teens who
took the time to write me some very thoughtful e-mail replies.

Of course, not everything you all said was quite what I wanted to hear, but
then again, if I wanted just my *own* perspective, I could have sat here &
talked to myself.  :-)

I did have a discussion with my daughter along the lines of "I hope you know
that you don't HAVE to go to college next year, or even at all, if that is your
choice.  I guess I always assumed you knew that, but I guess I never really
said it, so I want to say it now."  That was a direct result of many of your
suggestions, for which I thank you.

Tomorrow she is giving a speech at the National Honor Society inductions at her
school.  Her peers selected her as the person they most wanted to hear speaking
on the topic of "service to community".  I really AM proud of her.  It is a
learning experience for ME, too (being a Mom, that is).  I feel that the
discussion I have gotten from this newsgroup is helping me to appreciate her
and her good qualities for who SHE is, even if that is someone very different
from who *I* would choose to be. Sometimes that is very difficult -- especially
when it comes very close to the core of one's central values.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and responses.

Depends what kind of pizza you're looking for.

If you want to do Rhode Island *properly*, you have no choice but to go
to Caserta's Pizza on Federal Hill. The sauce is spicier than one normally
gets, the pizzas are good sized, and the PizzaBabes who work behind the
counter *all* have big hair and Vodylan accents. The place has *three*
phone lines and is totally packed out on Friday nights. This is also a
good time to witness the famed Providence triple-parking, as folks park
their Oldsmobiles "just for a minute" while they run in for their pizza.

Caserta's also sells Pepper Pigs. Although I never found out just what a
Pepper Pig *is*, it's fun to say "Pepper Pig" in a Vodylan accent.  :)

If you just want good pizza without the cultural enrichment, try Agean 
Pizza in Riverside. It's only seven minutes from Providence, and the 
pizza is  served on the best crust I've ever tasted.

That's right... almost forgot Caserta's a favorite at AT&T (when I was there)..
add that to my list... along with Wood Oven Pizza - Newport

This is certainly a bogus criterion.  If people in Rhode Island are
STILL using antique terms well after the rest of the country has passed 
them by, this distinctly qualifies as a regional eccentricity.  Are
Pilgrim duds not a peculiarity of Sturbridge Village simply because
they were common some 400 years ago?

Hmm. I live on Wickenden - perhaps I should venture out and try that
sometime? :-)

I do go to the bakery just up the street though - "Daily Bread". Good
cheap fresh bread. Their "Soft Italien" rocks.

Wood Oven Pizza on Bannister's Wharf in downtown Newport, RI (while pricey)
is probably the BEST pizza in Rhode Island and perhaps New England (IMHO).

It is not exactly your traditional pizza, but my vote goes
unhesitatingly to Pizza Pizza (now called Pizza Pie-er) on Wickenden on
the East Side.  Their pesto base (double pesto for me :-) is excellent,
and they have interesting toppings, such as artichoke hearts, shrimp,
and sun-dried tomatoes.  They have a number of different bases: red,
pesto, white (cheese and garlic), walnut and putanesca (anchovy).

Another place that serves interesting pizzas is Adesso, also on the East
Side.  They have things like chicken barbecue with cilantro and onion,
which is excellent.

I am not a big fan of traditional pizzas (i.e. red sauce with cheese,
and maybe green peppers or pepperoni for the adventurous), but most of
the people I know like Mutt's, Pizza Pie-er, or Caserta's.

When in Italy recently I tried the four-cheese focaccio (sp?), a thin
crust with lots of cheese on it, and nothing else to spoil the flavour.
Delicious.

You better look again.  Justification for calling an Ottoman a barbarian is

I was visiting my dad in Coventry over the holidays and we spent
a quite time at home on New Years eve. On the TV we saw some of the 
First Night coverage. I think First Night is a good idea and am trying
to remember how far back it goes. I was at the First Night festival
on 12-31-84 (first and only time as I am transplanted) Does anyone know
what year it began?
