		<description>Hi Bob,
I saw you at Cath Lawson and just checking in.  Can&#039;t find your email address, so allow me to leave a comment here. 
I&#039;ve put on some different hats, like language teacher, translator, admin, and now I coach . . . Gee it doesn&#039;t sound as dramatic as your background, does it?  I also love writing, and looking to do motivational speaking. 
Interesting blog you do. I&#039;ll be checking back!</description>

		<description>@ Laura - You&#039;re welcome.

@ Debra - I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve always been the best at following my moral compass, but stealing from old ladies is where I draw the line.

@ Lindsey - If you could look through a magical telescope and see your life in a decade, I think you&#039;d be surprised.  I can tell from your blogs that you&#039;re getting closer to settling in on your own by the minute.

I apparently missed your e-mail indeedy.  I just found it in my inbox, and I&#039;ll reply tonite.</description>

		<description>I really enjoy reading about your life, etc.  I&#039;m very much in that unsettled branding stages (I&#039;m 27).

By the way, did you receive my e-mail?  I&#039;d love to hear your response to my questions.

Thanks.

		<description>Your experience with Hellyer reminds me of my experience with telemarketing. I was supposed to be selling lunch coupons to a local steakhouse that were only good on weekdays after 1:00 PM. (!?) Right away, I got a sweet, lonely little old lady on a fixed income on the line. She said, &quot;I&#039;ll buy them if you think they&#039;re a good deal.&quot; My basic decency kicked in and I said, &quot;No, ma&#039;am, they&#039;re not a good deal, and I&#039;m sorry to have wasted your time.&quot; Needless to say, I was spared the trouble of quitting. :)</description>
