I went to Cub Scouts for about 2 years; never got past the first badge.
I went to Boy Scouts for about a year; never even GOT the first badge.
In retrospect, Scouting would have been good for me, had I been in the right sort of pack or troop. There's just lots that is good about it. It encourages kids to be responsible, and it teaches them valuable survival and first aid skills.

I really liked Melanie Wilkes in Gone With the Wind.
One time I knit a baby blanket for someone I barely knew (friend of a friend). They didn't even know the gender. I got a strong feeling the blanket would be used by a baby named Melanie. They ended up having a girl called Melanie.
I have issues with the name now because it reminds me of Melissa. Some woman from BC.
