I seriously don't have the time or energy to read through all that but I did notice at the end you corrected me on my spelling, lol.

You insist I as a "seasoned" TS should mentor future TS wannabees. You apparently can't see it but I gave truly excellent advice. They should all read this thread and they'll be better for it.

As an aside, I think it's funny that you, and a few others, expect me to be an example. In my own way I am. I ran 5 miles this morning, took two dates, paid my credit card bills, and am cooking rice now waiting for my bf to come over. I am a success, just like Rothko and Pollock, except I'm clean and sober.

Creative, check my spelling please, thank you.
