Its pretty clear you aren't the sharpest tool, why make a post to emphasize that you are dumb ?
Everyone makes mistakes Elizabeth. Its professional of you to apologize. Most others would not have bothered. Keep up the good work on the blog.
"Cruelty is a kind of cowardice. Cruel laughter is the way cowards cry when they're not alone, and causing pain is how they grieve."

Quotes sometimes get over-used on social media, as kind of placebos on place of conversation. Yet I like this one:
"“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”--Mohandas Gandhi.
Thanks anon and anijoshi and gurdonark. It makes me feel better.
I went on a date with a guy once who told me he wasn’t the smartest tool in the shed and I found that really funny.
Well, nobody scores a hole in one their first time at bat.
Your thailand pictures were very nice btw-- chessbase called to say they're jealous.
None of us is perfect, but few of us are brave enough own up to our mistakes. Good for you for taking responsibility.
