Subject: Going Gimp
Barb and all,
I used get bent out of shape when peopk tried to help me. Now, most of
the time,
I let them. Sometimes even, I'll solicit help nonverbally by what I call
"going gimp".That's when I let others do things out of pure laziness or in
situation where I would desire some help. For example, over the years, I
have
used word processing so much that about all I ever do as far as handwriting
is signing letters. If I am out some place and must fill out a long writtten
form of some kind, I "go gimp" and try to get someone else to do it because
my handwriting is almost illegible and I am usually nervous in such places
anyway. Over the years, my independent pride has disappeared.
Bobby
