I don't know how I came upon this post, but I assumed it was new today (July 28th), even though I read it then, too. Commenting half asleep, as my spelling will attest. THAT was weird.

It's inspiring, even while it's self-defeating.

I was drunk when I sent you an email wailing and bathering about my personal life... I just respect you and wanted an opinion. I am sorry that my drunk, selfish, immature ranting about not being "happy" might have contributed to your stress level. I will promise to email MYSELF while on Merlot...and not pester someone/somewhere I come to relax and be educated. P.S.

And as LMYC once pointed out, we're talking about statistical distributions most of the time when we're referring to categories or classifications. For instance, we can say that a human is a mammal with one head. That's a fair statement to make statistically. Nevertheless, there have been instances where people have been born with two heads, and have lived long, astonishing, accomplished lives. Delphyne,
