Things you wish you could say

I Reckon the Americans haven't heard/tried dim simsšŸ˜„

Nope. But I have an Aussie mum so I can ask her what things like that are... Sounds weird.
My uncle recently came over for a visit and it was so funny walking around Publix with him trying to find suitable "Crisps". Of course he wasn't walking but driving the motorized buggy for those mobility challenged, and gawking at the line of parking spaces outside for golf carts. But at least he didn't have to worry what side of the aisle to drive on.
 
As a Brit who has lived in Australia, I think both UK and Australia use the same terms for fries/chips.
It's interesting how different countries call them different names.

Sounds like fried potstickers or gyoza to me.

Yup. It's an Aussie spin on dim sum, which is Chinese dumplings. I haven't had the upside-down version, but I've had plenty of dim sum over the years
 
I feel really sad that I wasn't able to even finish chemistry 1, because I got irrecoverably behind, even after getting the high score on the first test and having spent significant time and effort on it. I feel so badly hurt. It probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things since I doubt I could have made it through later classes (and if I could have, it would have taken me forever), but it still hurts a lot. It makes me wish others, those more fortunate, could hurt as I have. I hate getting older and left behind by everyone. I wish things could somehow be different. I wish actual, overall recovery seemed possible somehow.
Also, this is my earnest suggestion to those who feel annoyed with me sometimes posting when I feel hurt:

You told me you need to remember to ask your PT some questions. I suggested you make a list so you can be sure to ask all of them.

"Lists don't work for me, and the questions are different each time. I feel like I'm in this all alone."

I wanted to say, "Huh? How does a list not work? And you can make a new list for each visit. I make a new list for every trip to the store." And as far as PT goes, yeah, the work is all on you. Been there myself. It sucks, but the only way out is through.

I am going to stop asking how you are. Well, no, I'll still ask, but I won't try to make any helpful suggestions. They never work for you, so I'll stop.

I never made it through Chem 1, either. I barely made it through Physics - I was so awful at it that no one would have me as a partner. I ended up working directly with the teacher, who later revealed that the only reason he passed me at all is because he knew how hard I tried. Thank You Professor H., for genuinely seeing me despite the results!
I beat myself up over that for years, but it all turned out well in the long run ... and that's what we're here for, anyway!
