Ozzie the Burro

6 8 Ozzie the Burro Dear Will, My name is Grace. I am glad you liked my picture . Maybe there are other women who sent you pictures and you’re writing to them too. I only chose yours. I understand either way, but please tell me if you are writing to others. You said ‘a truthful relationship is the most important thing.’ This is the most important thing to me, too. In my life there has not been enough of that. In fact, I’ll start by saying that I’m correcting this a lot as I go. My spelling is O z z i e t h e B u r r o 6 9 poor, and I’m using the computer to help with it. I have grammar check on too but some things it marks don’t make sense to me, or if it slows me down too much I start to ignore it. I did not finish high school. I am currently working on a GED equivallency. I want to be truthful about that and a few other things. I think if you like me, you’ll like me whether I have high school or college or not, and any other things I might tell you here. And vice-versa (I tried to spell that visa versa, an example that shows you the kind of mistakes) . Anyway I hope you’ll like that I’m truthful, which was why I picked you, not that I didn’t like the picture. I was not picturing someone like you at first but you look like a very good, solid person and carry your weight well. I don’t mean to offend you. I am not perfect and here are some things related to that. First, I am forty. This is not young, but you said I did look young. In fact the picture I sent was maybe taken quite awhile ago, before I actually needed false teeth. Now, just recently , I got fitted for the teeth and they came in, but I didn’t get them in time for the recent picture they wanted and did send an old one. Also, my hair is still long, but in the picture it was only a little gray, now it is all gray. So I will send you another picture so you can judge better. I didn’t do this to lie in any way, only that I really just got the false ones, and wanted to be smiling in the picture. You probably think forty is young for false teeth. I won’t go into why I needed them, only 7 0 O z z i e t h e B u r r o that it wasn’t related to brushing, which I do, but with not getting to the dentist when some people could of. They look pretty natural. I only got them recently, in fact, and it’s because my dad died that I had enough money to get them, and this computer, that I’m writing to you on. I suppose it gave me the courage to try this Service that we’re trying. You say that you are divorced. Do you mind me asking why? I never married. I have a son who is twenty five and does okay for himself, but still lives with me. My son has a girlfriend and she is expecting, she lives here with us for the moment . I don’t have a husband, because I had my son when I was fifteen, and his father was also my father. My son is not retarded at all. He’s normal. I’m sorry if that knocks the ___ out of you. I don’t like people who tell you everything at first, either. I wasn’t sure if I should say it. I typed it in and deleted and then typed it in again, then finally I thought that it was something you might discover after a long time, and then say ARRGGH (no spelling available) and run in the other direction. That, or the teeth, maybe the teeth even more so. I can type pretty fast. I began typing in high school. I did stop high school when I had my son, but I always read the newspaper and a lot of books and sometimes I look things up when I read, words and things. I...
