Though I have to say, I have never heard of a child attempting to light another child on fire.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030949818467743750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-58250163114232112102013-11-14T17:19:45.153-05:002013-11-14T17:19:45.153-05:00I had posted before on this but it got eaten by th...I had posted before on this but it got eaten by the Blogger it seems, so here it goes again. for quite a while I had followed Allie's Blog and realy liked it. Witty and at times profound. Suddenly however, without any warning, she posted Adventures in Depression, then again. Posts in which she talked about feeling nothing. Suicidal. It was very sad. I wondered if she was getting any help. Then she went off the air for over a year, and many friends were very worried, including me. So it was good to know that she was back.<br /><br />What a surprise it was to turn on the radio and hear her being interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air. A truly excellent interview and quite a surprise to friends who knew nothing about her personal life except her name.<br /><br />So go to Hyperbole and a Half and seek out those older posts. Well worth it, as would be buying her book (I did).jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077223398907532291noreply@blogger.com
