Then we all go on Oprah and play "To Tell the Truth"?<BR/><BR/>Beware - people will think you're a weird short Jewish girl with a trash mouth.

If one forgets, one makes the same mistakes over and over again. The humans are relatively stupid in this respect, unless we can learn.Nope.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00365379438811971453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-6900731745451194962008-08-06T17:31:00.000-07:002008-08-06T17:31:00.000-07:00Well I think it is wonderful that you wrote it and...Well I think it is wonderful that you wrote it and I think that you are not publishing it for all the right reasons.

Then when the truth comes out that I've lied spectacularly, we'll both be in the spotlight. Oprah will want us on her show. You'll have agents lining up for your books, and I'll have the fame that will help me turn my memoir into a sure fire sale!<BR/><BR/>Sigh.(Seriously, I agree with Chris here. And you. Memoirs are a great way to get closure and explore material.)Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-67239047929584531822008-08-05T15:58:00.000-07:002008-08-05T15:58:00.000-07:00How about publishing your memoir under my name?

The emotionally-charged writing is usually more authentic and compelling. This time spent will be used for many purposes....<BR/><BR/>Good for you for completion. You should feel very proud.Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.com
