So I'm trying something with speech to text. It doesn't like to keep going I'm afraid.

LOL anyway it is so hard to see people that we love forgetting forgetting not just friends but their closest loved ones. I feel for what your friend went through. I wish that there was some way to reverse it period of course as a writer I immediately think of the plot to the latest movie version of planet of the apes and realize that that's what the scientist in that movie was doing trying to come up with a cure for Alzheimer's.

I can't remember Did you ever play world of Warcraft?

Yeah I I jump all over the place all the time Anyhow thank you for your find words. I miss playing but I can't bring myself to do it. Not after losing Jax And then Deanna as well.

So I kinda like this ( ... )
