Dear PhD Ray from MA Ray, I have a big mouth and can't seem to shut up. I was very shy as a young woman, as an AP history teacher I REQUIRED all points of view to be discussed, without revealing my own, not an adequate excuse, but I still dream about teaching and have been retired from it since 1991. When I joined the List 3 yrs the guidelines warned against careless speech, while pointing out that there may be a different impression and meaning conveyed if you could see and hear the person. I think if you knew me, you would not be distresssed by my comment, 'my life is not worth squat".....well, it isn't, but I'm sorry if I depressed other people. I am voluntarily putting that duct tape for civil defense over my mouth.
