Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
For years I had suffered a mysterious, sad travel through my life. Especially around puberty and afterwards.
Unexplainable sudden emotional outbursts and tears and crying for no apparent reason. I had no idea what I needed, to help me with my problems. There were "do-gooders" who tried to counsel me and had me at one time into blaming my parents for everything. Some of these were in church circles, too. Thankfully, I never got into drugs or over-use of alcohol, as an addition to my problem or a 'solution' to same...Professor C. put me on to some outstanding treatment.
He commenced with a monthly injection of "Sustanon." This would be administered by my local doctor. After even only a couple of these injections I began to notice a difference in myself, my feelings my outlook and so on. I even began, at last, to be interested in females! The treatment would later change to hormone pellets being inserted in my lower abdomen, every 6 months. These days that has been replaced by a 10 to 12 weekly injection.'
I have heard of these treatments and the mixed reactions they can bring, you are so brave to write about it so eloquently for the world. kindest regards Meia x

Thanks for the wonderful review Meia much appreciated. Still learning of the different certificate rewards and stuff that have been stacking up in my account. Also discovered I had "Share" turned off too! Sigh!
Comment from gene roush
This has a nice conversational tone.
I think that you fall into a bit of a rut in the opening paragraph--beginning three of the sentences with "she"."She was the Nurse" "She had seen me" "She had also noticed"
Perhaps breaking up the verb tense to "seeing me, and "noticing me" will get you a
There are a couple other places that you might want to look at as well.
"We now take a quick look, many years back in my history, as a window to further discussions and appointments with this new association in my life."
I don't think it's necessary to introduce the next paragraph. But it also might work as, "Looking back to 1960..."
"outbursts and tears and crying" I think either tears or crying suffices. (Tears is more descriptive.)
as an addition to my problem or a 'solution' to same..." (new paragraph) "Professor C. put me on to some outstanding treatment
I enjoyed the read. I think it's important for all of us to look at our lives.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Gene thanks. I hope if I go back and repair it you will up the 'ante' on the point score, thanks. I really like it when just occasionally I get you serious reviewers in to straighten me out. Much appreciated. I recently discovered I had "Share" turned off. Even after more that three years on FS I am still learning how to handle all the Certificates and rewards. Only today I got sorted on the Lucky leprechaun..I have heaps of those to still give out! Cheers will look for you so I can reciprocate with a review.
-
Thanks very much Gene, much appreciate the "heads up" on things needing correction. PLease have a look again and see what you think.
-
gene roush have you been back in here since I did the fixes?
-
I like it.
How do you feel about it?
-
I like the changes you suggested thanks, I think I applied most of the suggested changes.
-
I'm finding connecting memories seamlessly to be a challenge.
I'm experimenting with different techniques.
let me know when you have it figured out.
Gene

Seamlessly...hehe good word.
Comment from prettybluebirds
Excellent. I found this quite interesting because of the difference in the way you handle the English language. It is well written and a great read. Good work.

Thanks very much. I had put an explanation as to our differences in this chapter. Should have done that earlier as it has caused all sorts of problems. Nice to meet you not sure we met before. Just realized I had sharing turned off on some previous chapters. have a look through if you have time. Hoping to self-publish after this final run through. Will look for you later.

Good for you, Snakey. I'm glad to hear you finally got the help you need. It may have been late in coming, but it came. How is the rash on your head?

Hi mate had pre Admission clinic Monday our time the staff were all so kind and helpful. I go into Hospital nex Monday (Sunday your time I think) My Pastor is taking me and another long time lady friend will pick me up to bring me home. Save Louise any trouble. I think you know my wife has Cerebral palsy. Should only be Day surgery and hoping the SKin Cancer is benign after it is tested. Thanks for coming by. Getting very close now to a full book promotion as I just went through with lovely Grammarly and found more errors.
Comment from schatzling
I believe this is my first time I reviewed one of your writings. I think I need to go back perhaps and read some of your other chapters because I feel a tad lost starting with this chapter. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. There a few mistakes such as lower case lettering on the word after a period indicating a new sentence begins.
I wanted to also take a moment to thank you for selecting my photo creation to accompany your chapter. I think it goes well together. I feel honored that you did choose it. I thank you very much.

Thanks very much. Will check the spags. Glad you agreed as to your picture's relevance to the chapter. This chapter was totally new the other promoted one is an oldie with A LOT of changes. A full book promotion is coming, so stick around and again, thanks😃
-
MY pleasure....and I will stick around, not to worry.

Hullo again, I am trying to make contact with 'scruffy herbert' over in Fanart. Can you help me with that, please? I am using his/ her 'mobile home' picture on one of the chapters in here...a lot earlier than this one you reviewed recently, thanks. Do I just do a new search through here to find scruffyherbert again or what?
-
I am sorry for my late reply.
I had no idea you wrote me back.
If you like I can get a message to him for you and once I have his reply I will gladly share it with you. So please feel free and write me back with the message you would like for me to relay to him and I will and once I have his reply I will come back and share it with you.
I can be your man in the middle, if you like. I do not mind one bit.
-
Hi thanks so much for getting back to me. I want to pay something to use Scruffyherbert's Mobile Home Picture I accessed from Fanart as I would like to make it part of my book when published. Can you put me in touch with him/ her please? Here is the message I posted to you before just below....Hullo again, I am trying to make contact with 'scruffy herbert' over in Fanart.

-
Yes, I will work on it right away. Will keep you posted.
-
I am afraid I have some bad news for you. The individual that you are looking for is no longer an active member of FanArt. I do have one suggestion for you and that is to write to Tom (because when folks become members they provide certain information such as address/email, etc. Perhaps, since he can not give you any information as how to contact this individual, you could ask him to send that individual a personal email or letter explaining what your intentions are, etc. Or maybe he could give you his real name and I would even be willing to help you locate this person outside of FanArt.
I wish you good luck in getting a hold of him. Take care. If you need my assistance in any thing, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
-
Thanks very much. So I gather Tom is the owner of all three platforms ie Fan Art, Fanmusic and FanStory, then? I will do as you have suggested may I use your member name in referring to Tom, please? Actually I may want to also u8se your picture in my book. What sort of compensation would you like. happy to give you acknowledgement as owner . I don't need to actually own the picture whatever you think. I wish I could afford to join all three groups Tom runs but I am a Disability Pensioner in Australia. I have photos I would love to share on Fanart as well. I hope you will read more of my stuff are you a member on here as well? E-mail me for a free link to my writing on here if not a member write to sankey48@yahoo.com.au
-
Feel free to use my name as a reference when contacting Tom. You can reach him when you go into your messages and you can select "Contact Us". Tom will end up being the one you contact. Yes Tom is the main person on all three of these sights. I am a member of both FanArt and FanStory. I have been with Fan Art over a year. I became a member of Fan Story more recently.
-
Acknowlegement of the photo with my real name Katharina L. Criscuolo would mean the world to mean. I never gave it much....compensation of a photo within a book. Let me sleep on that and I will get back with you tomorrow. Thanks.

Medicine is fascinating, it changes over time with new ways of doing things. Your story is interesting, the injection Sustanon certainly changed you for the better, you became interested in females! Your story is important, others can relate.

Comment from Caressa_08
Wonderful story, & such a happy picture of you & your beautiful wife. Though, trying to figure out about, who is the little dog, is it a person?
I was a bus aide for a school year for deaf children on a school bus for junior high & grade school children, in years past & then at a home for kids that had some deafness & other problems for about a year, also ...I always wanted to learn sign language, though I never caught on too well, as didn't have the time to do so, then..
Small world, here, as my husband & myself were married in a Roman Catholic Church, St. Mary's in Feb. 1972...Rules, here were so lenient, also...then...My husband, never even took any instructions & my parish priest let us get married, on a Wednesday, before he had to go back to his Navy ship & then to Vietnam.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the read & glad I was introduced to your autobiography by reading just a poem of yours earlier.

Hi Caressa, just reading an ancient review of yours and so enjoyed it again.Just letting you know I am in the process of re-organizing the book again moving stuff around. Combining the Engagement and Meeting chapters. Now I know how to do it adding more photos to the story as well. Keepan eye out for when the new re-organized book goes up for a complete review including some more rewards.

You had me laughing time and again as you told about your good Catholic mother in law to be.

I like the picture.

My wife and I are both deaf. I moreso than back in those days. We have kinda switched. Louise hears better than me now. I met her due to the fact I started the Hearing Impaired group at the Hospital. If you look a little before this chapter you will see all that but I guess you have done that before. We are actually heading towards a final edit and big whole book review soon now. I will be sorting out more photos for the book outside FS seeing we only get one photo per chapter on here. Thanks for coming by and I have appreciated yur support. Can't remember if you have read the new poem Requiem for a Piano I put up today.
-
hHello, my friend. Just wanted to mention that if you use the advanced editor you can put as many pictures as you like anywhere in the post.
-
Hi yes that is true but not your own pictures Mikey (Michael Cahill) has told me about that but only stuff from Bing or Google and so on.
-
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that made a differance.

Hi old friend. Just goping through some old reviews here and letting folks know a full book review is around the corner after I re edit with EXTRA photos now I know how to do it from doing my wife's Trip book over on Tootsie55 if interested, now completed. Stay tuned if interested thanks.

Thanks friend good of you to come by. Sister Henniger was a lovely lady. Glad she was out of the habit too hehe. I had not sought reviews fir this as it came about from a repair of a chapter near by that I had in the wrong place. It was about events AFTER our marriage and I had it placed BEFORE we were married. This entailed a bit of moving and shunting of chapters. Thanks again. At our Silver Wedding Anniversary a couple of years back I put Mum in law on the spot. In front of my wife's family I asked M in law...'Did you think we would last this long?" There was baited silence around the table as everyone waited to hear her admit she did not think we would last. Ha! Now I need to add this some -place ha! We are approaching Final editing and final whole book review then sorting of photos outside FS as we can't add more than one to a chapter in here of course. Thanks again.

Hi friend just to let you know a full book review is coming on this real soon with more pictures and a bit of reorganization and combining of chapters. Was not sure you are still part of FS??
