Wha...? Those help instructions are old!!

It took me a while this evening to realize that I already have the following function from Google Friends installed. I kept reading the help instructions on Google and and saw no "Layout" tab on my Blogspot page.

There always seems to be an issue with documentation and communication between techs and users. I would wonder more about why that problem exists, but I have a 30 year old son who is a tech and I have had to make him communicate adequately with me. He often gets so exasperated in the process that he has a meltdown.

Stephen will soon be 31 (July 21) and we are still wondering about any interest in getting married. It doesn't seem to be there and it really doesn't matter that much in his case. Stephen is Stephen!! As one of my young IBI (Intensive Behavioral Intervention) clients recently observed to me, "You're not me" is not an unusual response when someone is attempting to assist you with life's challenges.

Well, I am not Stephen. I am me. We can never be the same!! That is so wonderful!! We are all different from every other person on this planet!! If only more of us could realize this and be more sensitive to others needs and unique personal characteristics. We all seem to want to be regarded as not being like anyone else. This is often to our own detriment, for when some of us think this way about ourselves we leave others and their possibly very valuable viewpoints out of our lives. The truth is that regardless of our own assertions of being independent and totally different from anyone else we each actually need the ideas of others in our lives. We need that enriching power--very often the power to change...the power to become....

When will I really learn that? When will any of us really learn that?

Have a great weekend!!!

  1. My three teenagers are all more tech-savvy than am I. Sigh. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
