Reading your work makes me feel like I took a little vacation from the real world. Alice, it was so lovely looking through this little peep-hole of your life, and though I know you're seeing this series of events as "failures", they are only steps in your journey, and I am sure, once it all turns out okay, you'll tell this story as some of the downs you've survived on the way to the top. I am your biggest fan, truly, and wish you all the best. You are so talented and bright. Much love to you,

That was a wonderful article! It was beautifully composed and endearing. You are good daughter and not a failure you are just climbing your way through life which is never a flat plain and far more often a rocky road! Thank you for sharing :)

Well thank you for such a nice compliment! Likewise, clearly! I am just trying to keep on climbing with a smile on my face-smiles cost nothing and I believe make a heart happy most of the time and when no smiles can come, tears are cleansing :)

Yes; seed oils are basically perfectly fine. There's an unfortunate thing among alternative "medicine" charlatans on the internet crusading against it at the moment.

Oh, things don't get much better than the kindness and wit and warmth of this comment. Thank you always, Jack, I owe you so much. (Perhaps there is some merit to this fiscal policy, after all---you're quite right on it still preventing waste!)
