Your cell phone won't work so don't bother taking it. Do take some kind of ID with a date (Drivers' License) and tuck it in your shoe incase, for your protection, you need to prove you are from the future.

Don't change a thing, you will love what life will bring you and the friends you will make. You will do more than you ever expected to achieve!

I do agree Lt. If I had not gone through two divorces and now married to #3 for 32 years, I wouldn't have my daughter and grand children. Life happens for a reason and we all develop and learn from every experience.

Love yourself more. That has been the single constant inner voice I fight with. Be good to yourself and your outlook brightens considerably.

1. Don't be afraid to ask questions and question answers that don't make sense or need more clarification.
2. Say what you're going to do and get it done. 2b. Don't get sidetracked, it's usually ok to ask someone to "standby one" while you finish the task you're doing so you don't get out of sync.
