Hankster, that limerick was so amazing!!! LOL!!!!
Chopin99, I understand how you feel. T and I are doing similar right now (only no book) and I had a rough time with it too; couldn't articulate how you did, but things you were saying about what your mom said sounds like what I went through (and am still dealing with) So... my point: I think you are processing very well and I am glad you are trying to work through this.
I too had to skip a bit after some of the phrases, but I am thinking of you and your Buddhist Nudists....teehee (had to lighten it back up there!)
