    Exactly, Danik. I think that’s the point. Life can be brutal for the young in nature as well as in an enlightened society.

    Since we're on the subject of Gnomes and you being somewhat new to the bar, it's likely you overlooked our 2011 Christmas play.

    Hi Silent Mute. Would you consider voting in our contest? It's in the Poetry contest sub-forum. You have to go in through Personal Poetry, I think. It's called "Don't know much about history:

    http://www.online-literature.com/for...-about-history

    Hope the link works (they haven't been for me, lol) but if it doesn't, you know where it find it, anyway.

    I do have a YouTube channel I opened a long while back, which I haven't checked in ages. I'll contact you there as soon as I log back in. In the meantime, best of lucks at redoing the car and also with your Japanese learning. My dad was once a car painter and I would sometimes help him, though I never operated the sanders, either. I guess because I was a rookie at the job and very little at the time.

    I've contacted Gail by now. She sent me a PM along with her mail address, so hopefully I can still keep in touch with you two since I have both of your mails, in case you decide to leave the forum completely, even the Writer's Lounge, which I hope you won't. It doesn't surprise me that you're engaged in painting a car. I've seen your manual skills in the past, and I'm glad you keep expanding your language knowledge. I'm feeling better now, thanks, though I developed a bit of a rash after applying some strong analgesic cream on the bruises that feels like burning my weak skin.
