  You need to READ the book.

  Oprah, I fear, is not going to do Mrs. Lack's story the justice it deserves.

  today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

  since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

  it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

  I think it is an appropriate response.

  Kind and firm.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Sleep Habits

  this thread is inspired by a beloved poster who said he managed to sleep all through yesternight.. how about you, do you sleep through the night?.

  each morning, around 2 am, it's as if a hand shakes me awake.. i became accustomed to arising at that time to take care of my semi-invalid mother.. she passed nearly 12 years ago, but my body?

  mind?

  Are you in the USA?

  He's probably unsure how to act around Americans, or his English may not be too good.

  Or, it may be a form of mock humility that I've observed in quite a few immigrants.

  Whatever, he should not exploit his son in that manner.
