I know what you mean by editing. When I proof read my writings I sometimes miss the mistakes because I know what I intended to write and naturally that is what I see. If I have written an item that others will read I will often step away from the article and will return to it in a couple hours. I will usually spot my mistakes and can correct them at that time. Even when I write a thank you note or a letter to a friend I will often write it on another piece of paper and correct any errors before writing the final note. Just another example of my "insecurities". Don't want people to think I am not educated. :) Mothers! I could write a book.  Seriously, my mother did love me but at times I don't think she liked me.  It took me several years to come to terms with that but now I know I am a good person, not perfect but not bad either.  I don't have a sister but I have an older brother who usually received more attention than I did.  At the dinner table most of the discussions revolved around him and I was usually ignored.  At some point that all changed but not before the damage was done.  Anyway, that is in the past and I choose to let it all go as I can't change anything.  My brother and I fought a lot when we were younger (not physical, just verbal) and it really aggravated my mother.  I think that is part of the reason I would argue.  It was my way of sticking my thumbs in my ears, etc..  We really get along much better now and can have normal discussions without fighting.  Of course sometimes I will still argue just for the fun of it. I am also a person who likes to have the last word. My husband and son are used to that. My son would often tell his friends not to argue with me because I will always win. Happy Birthday to your son! I am jealous that you live close to your son. My son lives in Colorado and I don't get the opportunity to see him often. I really miss him. We always had a lot of fun together. He is the person who introduced me to video games and now I am addicted. Can he be prosecuted for that? Just kidding. It's an addiction I enjoy, but not as much as counted cross stitch. I would like very much to correspond through e-mail. Although I have not written anything that is too private, I know anyone who comes to this forum can read everything. I don't want to reveal too much of my private information. Some people can't be trusted. Time for cross stitch!
