		<description>I am sorry to hear life isnâ€™t treating you well these days.  It always moves in cycles, doesn&#039;t it â€“ the good and the bad?  I tell myself this too will pass; but what to do in the meantime?  Interesting, your experience with school.  My elementary school days were in the 60&#039;s, at a Catholic institution (for most of it anyway).  I had hurdles too - my education was subsidized, as my family was poor.  This led to my being a target for nasty nuns with an animus against both the poor and the Irish.  That - and I was dyslexic - something not understood nor even tolerated back then.  My inability to spell or understand numbers (it all switched round in my head) were seen as acts of defiance; especially after the &#039;IQ&#039; police finished their testing.  I was found to be exceptionally high; therefore any problems I had related to dyslexia were seen as further instances of bad behavior.  So you see - I understand how hard it all was back then.  Failure to diagnose learning problems can affect every facet of a personâ€™s life.  It often defers success â€“ something Iâ€™m quite conversant with.  If you are constantly told you will never amount to anything â€“ it takes great strength of character to do so in spite of it all.

Good for you concentrating on your writing.  I tend to let blogging override other concerns as well.  But the feedback is instant and immediate, making the whole process addictive as hell.  Itâ€™s like being on stage â€“ you get applause or you get tomatoes; which ever it is â€“ at least you know where you stand.  I find that irresistible â€“ I think most bloggers do.  I went on the stage to hear the applause I wasnâ€™t getting from my home.  Today I blog for substantially the same reason.  Though I have one completed novel, and a memoir thatâ€™s chugging right along, getting them published and garnering that â€˜applauseâ€™ I crave has proven more daunting than I expected.  So I blog.  It hones my writing skills, and allows me the opportunity to interact with scads of interesting and like-minded individuals such as yourself.  But, like you; I need to concentrate my efforts in other areas.  So good luck, my dear!  And I hope life takes some kinder turns for your future.</description>

		<description>I heard somewhere that men die before women because the men get bored.

hmmmm.  But I guess I&#039;m beginning to forget most of my teenage years... so I guess that makes me all grown up now. :)</description>

		<description>This post becomes more brilliant each time I read it.  (Are you constantly editing it or something?)

I can relate to a lot of what you say.  Seems when I over-analyze and over-think some decision, I always make the wrong one.

And I&#039;ve always thought/said I think it&#039;s good if people can live on their own, even for a short while, instead of going straight from their parents to a spouse.

You write about how adulthood is changing.  I write about how to properly cleanse your hands in a public restroom.  That seems about right.</description>
