sudden email prompts post

Hello... this Sams blog hit the floor when we were told - ordered! By armed guards! In leather uniforms!! and they were very shouty!!! that everything was completely confidential and we couldn't, er, for example, write books about our training and make vast amounts of money from the proceeds...

no... no... that had no bearing on the blog's poetic and stylish progress.

But some months later, this message came in:

Did you not explore the carrot's feelings?

I answered this: I think the writer was from a time zone far from here (and possibly far from humanoid descent - but hey! no judgments! We don't do judgements!) It's below...

Hello! The Okay Sam blog! Haven't done that for a while and I'm amazed - =
and secretly pleased - that you found it.

Yeah, the carrot's feelings... I guess it depended on whether it fancied
the inserter. Hard to tell with most root vegetables. Parsnips are easy =
to read, but carrots are notoriously inscrutable.=20

Anyway I've been Samming for some time now... thing is, once you get =
accepted, we have to sign a thing saying we won't divulge anything we =
learn. Which rather messes up the book I was writing, dammit.

Anyway I had this call today from a transgender patient...

Best of luck - and you can email Sams from anywhere in the world if you =
want some support when times are tough.=20

Best of luck

So that's where we are now. My book: in ruins! My blog: barely read!

If anyone wants more info, I'm very happy to help. And do call/mail Sams if you'd like support in a really rough time.
