- Go to WE HAD VIET NAM, WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE ABOUT A COMMA?
Poetjpb
All I saw was a loving talented lady that can drive as well as I can and I'm a hell of a driver.
I read poetry that is astounding with sketches to match the the beauty of the words. As in
Witness
Am I stained glass
with hues of blues and purple
or pane of clear glass?
On Sunday I saw a lady focussed on wanting to go to church, but not wanting to disturb others with her thoughts. The only difference was you waited for others to discern what you wanted rather than be the catalyst.
Nope all I see is a lady that's afraid of the success at the end of her talented fingertips.
Awright, give me heck why dontcha.

hey poet
yeh i have ADD too. din't really know until i was in my 50's....by then i'd learned to deal pretty well by just accepting myself..i didn't know the label but it hardly mattered cause acceptance was going to be the answer. I had one son with terrible ADHD and now his son also, so it finally makes sense. Don't doubt yoru ability related to education. I never even went to high school..did pass college entrance exams to take soem classes in college for Medical training...but not your standard high school fare. I never went to a prom or a football game, but i had a very "odd" adolescent education to say the least. Keep thinking outside the box, its a little scary but there is a reason for people like us, and we wont' find it within prescribed limitations....soar free

I have ADD
And was not diagnosed until 2001. Even then I fought it because I refused to accept that it really existed. It was easier to believe that I was just messed up because I had spent so many years of being told just that.
After my husband left for Iraq, I discovered stress makes it about a million times worse. When it became an issue while driving I had to do something!
As for the comma's. That's what they have editors for. Go for that degree you will be amazing!
