    I don't think you're a moron. For some reason my setup won't show links in a different color. Ugh!

    I'll be sure and make it more distinct in the future.

    I'm sorry, Tyler. I was a mess when I found out. The best thing to do is to discuss all your symptoms with your psychiatrist. This was the one I gave my shrink almost two years ago.

    Good luck, hun.

    Hi Chica,

    Guess what?? I'm BP!!! Amazing - oh wait that's why I take all those pills! Hee hee - funny test. Hey maybe you should make the posting area of your blog all one color (black or teal or white etc. then everyone could read your words more clearly - let your voice be heard!)

    :)

  9. Cristina C. Fender said...
     

    Hmmm, well, azureone, I don't really know how to do that. I'm only a little computer literate. I'll work on it. I do want my readers to be able to read what I write.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Luv,
    Chica
