Hello Katherine, I hope this message/thought meets you well. I understand the desire to support general skepticism and a hesitance to trust any politicians, I agree with you about that. However, I’m not sure that I agree with you about Oprah–not because she’s Oprah, but because she is a billionaire. I think I’m…

Oh, damn, I am embarrased. I blended those two ideas of yours together. Yeah, ‘gay’ jokes aren’t my cup-of-tea, I don’t find them funny–some do, it seems, I happen not to. :)

One of my favorite pair of objects, I think they are so beautiful and functional–and beautiful. MMmmmmMMMMM....

It speaks to me too, I don’t find it awkward. I have been diagnosed with High-Functioning Asperger’s, so I can conceptualize why I don’t like to be around people at social gatherings. Also, we might be introverts also, I know I get drained from being around people at prescribed social events. I also get drained…

Inanimate objects, please! ;)

As a High-Functioning Aspie, I’m happy that more awareness and support is going towards our invisible cognitive disposition. Sometimes it gets old. :)

I feel inspired reading that, awesome for you both! If you are willing to say, what has been the most difficult part–or at least one of the many–of maintaining sobriety? What was the biggest change you noticed? I appreciate our conversation, thank you! :)

Hello there, how are you today? I couldn’t get into the music you suggested, but I might revisit it again. I think my favorite music is Nine Inch Nails. Today, I’m learning about what a High Functioning Alcoholic is because my wife (that kicked me out) is one, and so am I; but I’ve been sober for 55 days as of today.…

Hello, I sincerely appreciate your thoughts and compassion. When I saw your response notification, I felt excited. After reading your post, I feel invigorated about the thought of developing my frame of reference. I ordered all of the books you have suggested, and I’m looking forward to reading them.

I read some of your comments and I think you are hilarious! I admire your writing skills and how they were clearly, at least to my perception, meant to make light of things. Thank you, for the genuinely funny stuff! :)

Hello, welcome to the conversation. I’m glad you are here. I use Google, what were you thinking I should use it for? I appreciate it.

I appreciate your question. I am employed as a teacher (I have a BFA in Ceramics, 33-hours Post-Bacc Art Education coursework, a National pre-K–12 Art Teaching certification emphasized in Secondary Art Ed, and 12 Graduate Hours completed towards a MA in Art Education: emphasis in classroom teaching) yes. I’m also…

As a teacher in a high school in Mesa, AZ, I wonder what thoughts you could offer to help me be a good teacher to my students?

“Teachers get low pay and no respect from students, parents and administrators. What kind of applicants do you think that attracts?”

Hello Mr. Harriot, I’m a Michael too. When I read your article, it reminded me of a thought I’ve been pondering recently–and now, I think I can frame it well enough to ask:

I completely agree with you Tom. I live in AZ–Phoenix Area–and I had a car with heated seats. I used them on the morning drive into work–H.S. Ceramics Teacher–to help relax my back before and after work. The current car I have doesn’t have heated seats, and its the only thing I wish it had.

I appreciate your words, thank you. Another way to put it would be that BurnerMan was asking a question in a literal context. In other words, BurnerMan sincerely wanted to know the answer to the question they posed. I hope that I could create clarification, if I didn’t please let me know. I am willing to continue this…

Thank you for those words, I feel the warm-fuzzies when I read them. I agree with what I think you are saying–that focusing on the positive and letting go of the negative in people. I think at everyone’s core, we all need the same things. I also work with a couple of amazing people that have shown me unwavering…

I appreciate that observation. I don’t know if anyone on his team like him. If I were in their shoes, then I would try to remind myself that I singed a piece of paper and swore an oath to protect the idea of the president, which includes the body. I can’t say I enjoy thinking about that, I genuinely want to give Trump…
