I'm crap at talking to people. Really, ask anyone on here who I've met in person

I think you're lovely to talk to, and I have talked to you in person on many occasions.   

I love your art work.  I can't remember seeing a picture you took that I didn't like.  Also, if I could make a suggestion, Link your club up there where you name.  If you need help with that, just let me know.   Keep blogging, keeping taking pictures and keep posting them

did sthg go awry?

@hirondelle, it's all fixed now.  

Yeah, when I first started Japanese, it picked up a number of words quite quickly, but once I started getting into sentences, I struggled a bit.  After about 4 months, I found I had to convince my brain to think in Japanese things would go a bit better.  The problem then, was keeping it there.  I would be ok for a bit, then I would start trying to translate what my teacher was saying and everything just slowed way way way down, because then I had to think about what I wanted to say in English, then translate bit by bit into Japanese, and then say it.  LOL.  That kind of makes it sound easy, but it wasn't.  

I'm looking forward to read what you write brother.  I hope maybe you add some poems here as well.  

This is great!  I'm surprised you don't have anything for katakana as well, though I do know it isn't used as much.  How is the learning going, now that you're getting back to it?
I've personally used the Anki app.  One of the things I liked about it was that I could download other peoples cards and also create my own cards.  Can you do that with this?

Oh wow @Phoenix, I had no idea it was that bad.  I'm glad you're taking strides to try to make things better for you with seeing a physical therapist for your lower back, seeing a behavioral therapist for your depression and taking steps to lose weight.  Sometimes just the little things can help so much.  I hope you keep us posted on how things are going.

@Dulcet, I don't know how normal we are, but I'm always up to chat with you any time.  You've always just needed to drop me a line, which you have done.  I'm glad you made it back here, and we could give you the opportunity to share so we all as a family can help you. 

Beautiful and thank you @Kethlia
