In my Sunday column I wondered what's appropriate for a woman in her mid-30s? Should I cut my hair to my nape? Are those crow's feet? Can I still wear cheery underpants?

Oh, for a guidebook to this new phase of my life. But who needs a guidebok when so many readers offered sound advice? Here's a sampling of the comments:

From a 48-year-old woman: Laugh a lot, take care of yourself, stay active and involved in life, and NEVER give up. It sounds really simple, doesn't it? You want to wear Wonder Woman panties, I say go for it!!!... I never plan to cut my hair, wear dowdy matronly clothes or stop living... The only tomorrow you really have to be concerned with is where your eternity is going to be spent.
