Anita,
Thanks.
Actually, the combo box to select a posting option was where I was having issues. It was not letting me arrow through the options, it would just click the first option I arrowed to. Once in the combo box, I would do an alt down arrow to open the list, but it was still not letting me arrow past the first option.

> Last week, I tried to post comments about the challenges of schools for the blind, but it wasn't letting me post. I'm really interested in the blog and would like to be interactive so can you advise me on how to post? Yes, I'm terribly stupid when it comes to technology and all that entails! *smile*

> Dear List,
>
> This book has been mentioned already, but I finally finished it and I would say pass on reading it. Eat, Pray, Love was not the fabulous spiritual, enlightening read that Oprah has raved about. I found it to be a self-indulgent narrative about a woman who develops an emotional disorder and leaves all her responsibilities behind just to discover "self."
>
> Don't get me wrong, psychological conditions can be serious and terrible. I've struggled with depression before, but I feel Gilbert uses her emotional rollercoaster as an excuse to escape. This is what the title should have been: Get Fat, Sleep, (I won't use the word I really want to use) Have Sex.
>
> As for the writing, there are places where Gilbert leaves her personal narrative and jumps into a preachy voice. I get this was a spiritual journey for her, but she tries to reach a universal and I don't think she makes the mark.
>
> To be honest, I was bored by this book. Our culture has become way to self involved. Yes it is true that we can not cultivate happiness when we are not happy, but usually losing our selfish nature by thinking about others and caring for the needs of others, is what can bring true peace and harmony to our lives. We need to build up self and care for self, but their must be balance. Gilbert, I find, believes the personal journey is more important than the universal journey.
>
> Then again, what is more self involved than memoir or personal essay? *smile*
