To all I have been a b................h and I am sorry

I have been an absolute b...................and it is coming back to haunt me and for this I am using to ask for anyone who has been hurt by my advice that I am truly sorry.I am not college educationed.I went 2 years and then my sainted father got ill.They wanted to put him in a nursing home but i said no and gave up the opportunity of going to college.My dad was ill for quite some time..but he never complained and this is why books are so important to me.My dad never went to high school.He went to business school.He worked on WPA during the Depression and at a time he and my grandfather went to Chicago to find work.He found work,but it wasnt much and he and my mother were separated.He returned after 6 months and my mother lived with my grandmother.My father was from THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS AND SO AM I.I never had it easy and i always struggled because in 1962 at the age of 14...i got severly depressed.I became mentally ill over a tragedy that still haunts me like The Kennedys.I cant talk about it.I just cant and this is one of the reasons why I never married because I dont want anyone to know about it.In 1970...i took a test and got a temporary job at a bank in New York.My boss was rich and he was from Brooklyn and he was a real slave driver.Back then,if you answered the boss you got fired.You couldnt wear pant suits or hot pants to the bank..you had to wear dresses and such.i was always dressed.He taught me how to talk.He taught the value of knowledge.YOu see,in seattle half of the people that I know do not read thenpaper.They get the news on the Internet...that is alright..but havent anyone heard about a followup? Newspapers are important because they are a part of the democracy.We need difference of opinions whether you like Rush or not or Pat O Reilly..it is up to you..but opinion is what makes us and my boss taught how to talk.YOu just dont blurp out your opinions.You think before you talk and he gave me a book...it is by Barbara Walters.The book is How to have a conversation with anyone and survive.It is no longer in print..but I try not to be offense and shy away from religion or politics.Everyone has got a different opinion and we must value them.We must realize that there are different cultures and customs and such.I know that recently i have been burping like Rush and i have offended people.And in the 12 steps of Emotions...you ask for forgiveness and i am asking just that and once again...anyone who hasnt been to Brooklyn will not know what I am talking about.Brooklyn has got its musuems,not to mention we have got the best pizza in the United States (next to Chicago) of course.Hasnt anyone had a slice of stuffed pizza? It is delicious.Hasnt anyone tasted a calzone? They are meal in itself and lets not forget the Coney Island Dogs...if you havent had one,please do.These are some of the things that my late boss taught me about Brooklyn.Brooklyn people do not like phonies and we are get angry over little things and if i have gotten anyone angry let me know..this is part of the Brooklyn sense of conversation.The boss wanted me to stimulate conversations and this is why I think before I write.I never want to have french fries thrown in my face again because it was messy and my face was burned.So I try to think and remember tempers can hurt and sometimes heal.I love everyone of you and again ask forgiveness from someone wholl never see Brooklyn again.
