- Enough then. Forgive me for being partially retarded or learning-disabled
- or whatever is keeping me from getting the point more quickly. I hope I can
- break this pattern that's been following me like some personal demon and
- be more sensitive to the situation. It's probably nothing more than plain
- stupidity or nerdiness on my own part that is making me, uh, how would
- the PC term go, "differently tacted"?
-
- Charleen, I know what you and some others think of me, and it's a hellish
- thing to know how many friendships I've dashed by my carelessness -
- there's barely a week that goes by that I'm not beating myself up for a
- couple of those. My wayward outbursts are a by product of my feelings,
- whether innocent or not may be debateable. I think I can and should do
- more with these feelings than just that very thing which is causing all
- this discomfort. I think that's the only way I can call myself worthy
- of these things I feel; if that's self-serving, then I'm reminded of
- the fortune cookie message that says, "To serve others is to serve oneself".
-
- But that's going off on a tangent again. I know I'm being dense about this,
- and I'm aware what consequences my slowness in learning brings. One of these
- days I'm going to get over whatever is holding me up, I promise.
- For now, I made a promise to the newsgroup, and that promise I'll keep to
- the best of my abilities. E-mail reply is set for this posting, so this
- subjectline can have the death it deserves.
