Also, I have a very difficult time with some kinds of reading, such as reading fine print that is single-spaced.  I am worried about telling you this.  … I hit the wrong key on the computer and now I do not remember what I was going to tell you next.

22) .Developmental disability is a diverse group of chronic conditions that are due to mental or physical impairments that arise before adulthood. Developmental disabilities cause individuals living with them many difficulties in certain areas of life, especially in "language, mobility, learning, self-help, and independent living".[1] Developmental disabilities can be detected early on and persist throughout an individual's lifespan. Developmental disability that affects all areas of a child's development is sometimes referred to as global developmental delay.  …  This is an encyclopedia definition of developmental disabilities. [2]

Regarding the above definition of developmental disabilities, please notice that the onset is supposed to be before adulthood.  So maybe that tells what is happening with me is not developmental.  I was born 2 months premature and I have always found it difficult to learn.

The author of this work, this written work, has no real faith in  me - that I can carry the day, that I can get across his or her - her or his - message …

 

But, dear reader,  think about it another way - I am being given a task that is impossible for me - I know nothing - less than nothing - about developmental disabilities.  Mental disabilities, yes oh yes. but not developmental ones.


●      I make hot dogs in the following way:  clean the coffee pot and the coffee making machine very  thoroughly.  Put cold water in the Mr. Coffee® the way you normally would, but only 6 cups not 8 or 12 cups.  Break the 2 hot dogs in half and place them in the bottom of the coffee pot.   Place coffee pot in its usual position on its perch under the spout (so to speak) of the Mr. Coffee[R}.   Turn on Mr. Coffee[R}.  You might want to monitor the situation; I mean stand there in case you have put in too many dogs, or too much water, then the entire mess will spill onto your Mom’s darling two-tone gray marble countertops.  Once the water is in the pot and no spillage has occurred, just let the damn dogs cook - that's the whole point.  This keeps you from turning on the stove and boiling water on the stove - forgetting the burner while you play WordStacks® on your Samsung® phone and possibly burning the wall to the left of the back of the stove like that time last spring when the tall blonde fireman tripped over the lawn sprinkler (not the time before, but that precise time).

Anyway I think she - the author, not my mother, but rather the author, the author of this document - I think she  wants to carry out the message on her own.   And far be it for me to say otherwise.   …   …   …   ....  

 

  …   BTW, I meant to tell you that the above hot dog cooking method only gets the dog medium rare, not medium and certainly not well done - but at least you did not burn the house down.  …   …   ...

63)    ….   “Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”     ….  ― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember[7]

Whether Enheduanna was, in fact, a blood relative of Sargon’s or the title was figurative is not known.  … It is clear, however, that Sargon placed enormous trust in Enheduanna in elevating her to the position of high priestess of the most important temple in Sumer (in the city of Ur) and leaving to her the responsibility for melding the Sumerian gods with the Akkadian ones to create the stability his empire needed to thrive.” ...

I have been asked by the author of this document to give you some background on Basho James Williams, who - supposedly - was born in 2031 BC in what is now Mount Virtue, Northern China.  ( technically not Northern, but rather   Northeast China  (Dōngběi)   [29]

 

Basho was a major child prodigy of Wisdom who lived during the “Riding Lawn Mower  [ 骑草坪割草机 ]”[30]   aka  “Rolling Green Deer Who Eats Grass [ 滚动的绿鹿吃草 ] [31]”  Dynasty.  [ note to reader - these translations were made at the time of Basho’s life, not in Modern Day ]

 

Basho’s life was tragic because - even though he was born a major wisdom prodigy, his wisdom seemed to be less and less as he got older.  Thus, it has been suggested by the author of this document that I put any quotes by Basho in reverse order.

The show featured several re-enactments of scenes from the lives of the people on the list.[37]          The survey asked Japanese people to name their most-liked historical figures, not the most influential. The selection was not restricted to Japanese people, and only about two thirds of the names are Japanese, mostly important Japanese historical figures, such as samurai, prime ministers, war leaders, authors, poets. and popular Meiji Restoration figures.[38]   The program was followed up with a women-only Top-100 list (ニッポン人が好きな100人の美人) which aired September 23, 2006,[39]and History's 100 Most Influential People: Hero Edition which aired in March 2007.[40]    - - [41]

107)    …   To judge from some of the ancient creation narratives, the world arose as a visible manifestation of speech. “In the beginning was the Word,” as it says in John 1:1. First there was formlessness and chaos, and then the divine voice flashed forth like lightning in the darkness. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” The world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

110) . Whatever we may now think of the old visions of creation, we can remain sure of one thing: without the speaking of the Word — without language — we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world. This observation may seem trite; no one will deny that we must use words in order to achieve and record our scientific understanding, or to pass it on to future generations. But once we stop to reflect upon the fact that science is always a science of speech, a remarkable thing begins to happen. We find ourselves transported to a richly expressive realm of scientific meaning, as far removed from cramped, conventional notions of science as the first day of creation was from the primeval chaos.
