  1. LOL !!This is a very interesting paper. Much needed humor plus human situations we all get into. I think I can dare look at myself in the mirror now. My asthma and lack of sleep make me hesitate to look at my self.

  9. You must be in really bad shape if you can't pass this test! Want to try it again? If you don't, you'll have to repeat the class next year. I'll give you a hint--none of the answers are "a" or "b".

    1. Fishducky, by the end of the day I couldn't have told you my own name let alone what a or b was. Tony gave me his cooties... stupid man cold cooties. In this case sharing was not caring, and I was left to die on the couch a horrible sniffling congested mess.

      Until this morning, when I was finally feeling much better.
