    I review tea, as I am able to, which means when I either purchase the teas or receive samples. All this I do on Steepster.com

    I did have opportunity to review tea on The Tea Review Blog but ended up dropping out since Stephanie the founder rubbed me the wrong way or I her. People pushes or try to push and I fold since alone in most things and failing what I under take/try to achieve.

    Steepster seems to tolerate me (or work around the elephant in the room syndrome) but not sure for how long. They rib me as well; or I perceive this. Folks have ways of communicating and at times I take it always the wrong way.

    Some of you folks I have noticed on Steepster and might even be on The Tea Review forum as well.

    I am a computer user, not novice but not a blogger and somehow this makes me difficult to get along and lazy. Who says this of me?

    My life is unravelling the wrong way. Ever since I immerse in the online community, I seem to be absent from the outside world. Folks do not know what I do all day long. I do not work, no employment, no income and this was not a problem but once my husband lost his employment and the pressure of no income or feeling judge and ridicule for not having money of my own. It is very stressful and I am scared.

    It is not something others can understand. I get emails every now and again from Admission Counselors for more education when it is education that has ruined my life. I was employable when I had no degree but now the gap increased in the years and what have I been doing? Dropping in and out of school; all the while the degrees I have (unpaid) are of no use to me.

    I am upset with this and I am told I need to seek psychiatric help. Who would not be when your home is about to be taken away? Or the piles of bills and no money for grocery shopping etc. Who would not be?

    This is tea trade not relieve yourself of woes forum. I received email about chatting or friend request from TeaTrade but when I logged on to deny it. i could not find the notice.

    yeah, we all need someone to talk to but what I need is employment and money. I don’t need to feel folks ridiculing me for my hang ups with family look-a-likes who are employed and my husband and I are not. Again, what i see others do not. So I am in trouble…since I cannot trust what is in front of me. A fat person is healthier than a thin person by summary. Robust is healthy.

    I walk all the time and this is wrong some how. Folks smoke all the time and they are employed; emphysema is costly in the hospital but they have insurance for this.

    I am sorry I don’t make sense. I will stop since all I do all day long is hang myself more in trying to explain nonsense.

    • Read your update last night, hope you’ll feel welcome here, it’s a nice community. I don’t see any ridiculing of people here ever. There is some good-natured poking fun at friends but not mocking someone who’s going through tough times. I hope things look up for you and your husband soon.

      • How are you? This computer tracking is most odd. What I mean; I just submitted a review for a book on Jacqueline Kennedy and her husband JFK; and here was your email to find me. But it coincidence I am sure. Last night as well with this Jacqueline book; return today to library.

        Things I do are on my own; folks have no idea since the box (computer) is just a screen and I don’t advertise or tweet etc.

        Times are tough and I am not smart. My husband does not work and it is my time to work and support him it seems but I am not employable. I attended my graduate school reunion last month and as I was leaving some woman thought she knew how to pin it down. Anyhow it hurt.

        Folks of all walks of life are employed but there seem to be something lacking in me. I am shame to my race and family. And my tea wish list is growing.

        Keep enjoying the tea and all. Thank you as well. Truly be well in all you do.
