[quote=John McClane]I feel like trash. Stuck at home today :sick:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I can relate to that. It’s tough not to want to tell everyone you know after you do something good. As a kid I used to get all excited when I got to hold the door open for people. I was a weird kid[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century Gothic] Because I'm neurotic and think that maybe I only do it because subconsciously I need to pay it forward in case I need it one day. 

You know, all that good self-loathing stuff. [/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=doubledenim][quote=John McClane]Yeah, but he told me where he was going and $20 is enough to order so much food you could bust your gut. And I try to do good. I would hope if I was homeless someone would do the same for me.[/quote]

[font=century Gothic]I always feel like my charity lacks altruism. [/font][/quote]how so?[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=John McClane]If it wasn’t for office hours (I went to ever professor like 4-5 times a week) and term papers I never would have graduated. Same for the legal speed[/quote]

[font=century Gothic] That's a metaphor for life. You figured out how to get there, regardless. [/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I used to have to take a dictionary, find a word I knew, sound it out, and then use that to learn the pronunciation of other words. Rhyming is a coping mechanism to learn words. Crazy huh?  It’s amazing what you learn about yourself even as an adult[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I murdered every spelling test and even with copious studying I’d rarely get better than a C and in college I couldn’t take an exam to save my life. Usually got a C- with quite a few Ds because I never wrote enough but I couldn’t ever figure out how to write more without looking at the original texts.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I met with a doctor this past week, and they asked me if I was ever tested for dyslexia as a kid. Ya know, I can’t help but think they might be on to something[/quote]
