Quite a beautiful rationalization of punishment that speaks something great of his pride in who you are and your talents in your own art. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed this, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-2040041166558250662008-11-10T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-10T14:55:00.000-05:00oh, it's not impossible to improve and catch more....oh, it's not impossible to improve and catch more... <BR/><BR/>maybe I should have said 'it is extremely difficult to catch your own typos'<BR/><BR/>of course, I know how to do better - slow down, and also get someone else to read it.<BR/><BR/>unfortunately you don't have that last option, huh!mamacrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484565827023574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-37884644307038671422008-11-10T14:52:00.000-05:002008-11-10T14:52:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-12036849709135308642008-11-09T13:07:00.000-05:002008-11-09T13:07:00.000-05:00TFP - Thank you.

For him and for myself, out of respect for what I create for him and out of respect for myself, I need to make a more serious effort. And without these periodic outbursts and punishments from my unexpectedly tolerant teacher and tormentor, I would continue in my carelessness and start to think that it didn't really matter. I am lucky to have someone to enforce self-discipline by imposing his own, no matter how much his discipline hurts.<BR/><BR/>There is some comfort in thinking that if he didn't value me he wouldn't persist in his efforts to harness and improve me.oatmeal girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842608615972752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-78235621198129427792008-11-07T14:37:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:37:00.000-05:00yeah. it's night impossible to catch your own typo...yeah. it's night impossible to catch your own typos, because your brain 'reads' what you 'know' you wrote.<BR/><BR/>good luck...mamacrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484565827023574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-33096524337626843472008-11-07T07:05:00.000-05:002008-11-07T07:05:00.000-05:00og,I liked this,"Vanilla but pure natural vanilla,...og,<BR/><BR/>I liked this,<BR/>"Vanilla but pure natural vanilla, sweet and rich and creamy and attentive and long lasting...."<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/>-TFPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
