It may depend on which browser the visitor is using. I've found Internet
Explorer to be more friendly with such things than Firefox, but seeing as
how Internet Explorer will soon stop working with Windows XP in version 9, I
think I'd better find a way to make JAWS handle dropdown boxes more
efficiently.

Hello,
Oh, sorry. JAWS has sometimes done that for me, and it is
annoying. I do
not know if I know how to help you with that, but maybe someone
on the list
does. alt+downarrow and then the up and down arrow keys are
working for me
on the site, and I am not sure why that is. So if someone knows how to
solve this technical problem, please share. Thanks. Anita

>> 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*
