For some reason I get many of your articles two months late. This one is a good one (well, they all are). If only there was a foolproof way of telling up front if the help is fake, without the burn of finding out first hand. If we could see others’ thought bubbles it would help (!). I find it almost impossible to ask for help, way beyond the point I am drowning. And, like you said, I can usually get myself above water somehow… I try to remember talk is cheap, and expectations aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

Thanks, again, Jessica, I hope I can move up the chain for getting your pieces, and while I am at it, do you have a book? Since I am selfish, I will say I would jump at a book with a collection of your medium articles.
