was still in a lot of people's bake pans in the upstairs ovens.  Some poor soul wrote a diary dissecting staying or leaving when I was at my worst.  I did not attack that diarist or anybody who commented or speculated on his/her diary.  I can't even remember who it was because thankfully I was enough in touch with myself to know that really wasn't what was important.  What was important was that people were dying and other people who weren't in danger of dying from all the speculating were "speculating" like this many dead people and that many dead people was a good thing so long as "their speculations" worked out.  I posted a diary titled Dissect This! Of course I had downloaded a photo of someone giving the finger....it was a really poor photograph really, I could have done much better.  I haven't deleted the diary and I can't even remember what it said except I think that a few people commented to others that Tracy had had more than her fair share of war stress lately.  I leave the photo I downloaded in my photo folder on my computer as a reminder to myself about how raw and emotional I can become in this debate.  I still wrestle with how tactless and tasteless the diary probably is on one hand, and then on the other I wrestle with the notion that anybody going through Vietnam Vet Uncles killing themselves and husband's with PTSD all at the same time could be tasteful and tactful about "planning war successfully" diaries.  UGH!

This business of saying exactly what we want to say in exactly the way we want to say it is hard at the best of times, much less when we're "fraught." It's not like we're born knowing how. Most of us, anyway.

Honestly what strikes me most about that story is that, if I'm reading you right, you were treated with love and understanding (and humor) by other people here who knew what you were going through and so made allowances. That happened because you have never hidden your life from us, and because you had earned the respect you were shown in that instance. IMO.
