Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts !…

I found this article to be extremely useful for me. Thanks!…

Interesting post. I came across this blog by accident, but it was a good accident. I have now bookmarked your blog for future use. Best wishes. Salma Hayek….

The Nigerian scam is one I was getting every once in awhile, but just ignoring. Now it’s all sex drugs, weight drugs, and investment scams. Sigh! It takes a long while to wade through all the spam. My Mom has a good spam-filter hooked onto her email that I was thinking of putting on too, but then I think I’d have to do it via IE instead of Thunderbird like I am now. Ah well..

Hope you’re doing well; thanks for the tips

Here is his email address if you’d like: josh_freed@hotmail.com
He welcomes comments and I think he’d be very interested in what you have to say.

But he wasn’t the one saying 3rd grade was “too late” for better handwriting. It was his 3rd grade teacher who said he must correct the problem before it was ”too late”. Some teachers!! 

Visited your Handwriting Repair web-site at http://learn.to/handwrite and found it so interesting. So will my daughter. You know, I’d forgotten that early on I stopped using cursives for capital letters. Just preferred it that way. 

Wishing you all the best.

Either way, it isn’t AS I’m kicking so much as it is psychiatry, which I believe is doing it’s best to convince us all that we have some disorder or traits of a disorder (increasing its client base). They could just as well look at themselves for symptoms of a disorder – which Jared Blackburn has done so well in his parody – DSN-IV (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of ‘Normal’ Disorders) – 669.xx Psychiatry Disorder

Found this on Wikipedia about the DSM, which is supposed to be just a dictionary of psychiatric terms, and not a ‘diagnostic’ manual. Yet D stands for diagnostic, doesn’t it, and it is the handbook used most often for diagnosing. ??? Anyhow, I think this pretty much sums it up.

“The criteria and classification system of the DSM are based on a process of consultation and committee meetings involving primarily psychiatrists. Therefore, the content of the DSM does not reflect all opinions on the subject of psychopathology, emotional distress and social functioning. Nor are there any objective, biological verifiable standards to which it adheres. The criteria, and the way they are applied by individual clinicians are at least to some extent influenced by cultural variables and are periodically altered to reflect the contemporary social landscape. “

Which may account for that overlapping you were referring to. When it’s not unbiased, objective or scientific, what do you expect. And yet, when such a ‘diagnosis’ is coming from an authority figure like a psychiatrist, it is too often taken far too seriously, and can lead to misunderstandings, to unnecessary tragedy and suffering. http://www.psychdiagnosis.net/

I was wondering - do you believe that not being a party animal is an autistic trait? A few months ago, I might have. But that’s psychiatry’s way of looking at things, labeling anything that’s different, or disagreeable, or not on schedule, as a disorder. It doesn’t have to become our way. We can be more tolerant and accepting of differences. We can allow differences in others without putting disorder labels on them, because we’re not so perfect ourselves. We’re human.

Wishing you and your family all the very best

Aren’t you even going to ask about my operation? It went very well, thank God. Don’t want to get too hopeful, but it seems I’m getting a bit better at walking each day. Would love it if I could run again.

Back to you Sue, hoping all’s well with you too,
Hugs
