This is hilarious! At 6:44 you were asking if it was physical or intelectual...at 6:49 you found her...?? Is that what happened?

Yes! the woman that made a living from writing was Aphra Behn...Of course I haven't read anything of her and my list of books that I ought to read is growing daily...I think I will stop reading all together and just read Wiki pages...

Over to you Sparky

Too funny, Pearla! Yes, that's really what happened. Posted, went and googled 17th century successful young English widow. Hidden several entries down in a paper about 17th century successful women or something like that.

Given a very humble beginning, you'd never imagine how successful, though controversial, our character would be. A descendant of slaves, born in the South, moved shortly afterward to a rough area of a big city, influenced by preacher grandfather.

After continually being bullied in high school, they dropped out and worked at low paying fast food jobs until eventually completing a GED.

After the fast food "career", pursued a profession with some positive but limited experiences. Then a man with money, success and connections found and sponsored our sporadic achiever. That helped get steady work and upward mobility. After hitting some rough spots and disappointments, returned to career roots and has been on the rise ever since.

With all the success and recognition, family is important--married for nearly twelve years with two children. Partner runs a non-profit social services organization while our character continues to make good money to support the family.

I find myself between a rock and a hard place: I am working tomorrow and I would rather somebody else solve this one. Talk to you tomorrow....

I recognized Chris Rock the moment I saw the picture...I thought that someone will pick on my hint "I find myself between a rock and a hard place".

"Rock came to wider prominence as a cast member of Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s."

That's between the times I could watch that on TV while in the States, or on my PC at home when the interwebs became fast enough for streaming video .
I did notice the 'dark shadow' on her upper lip, but thought it would be a bit impolite either way to ask if she really had a moustache....

True, but he has also been in a ton of movies and on HBO specials. Even hosted (a disaster) the academy awards one year. He does have something of a potty mouth but otherwise is, I think, hilarious.

See Pearla, you could have guessed yesterday and we'd have lost nothing by waiting! Over to you.

I still have nothing ready...Be back soon

This man died at a relatively old age after living quite a fulfilling life. Yet he was unhappy. He made a discovery that benefits us even today, but the full recognition of his find came long after his death. It is very possible that he did not receive the acknowledgment because there was a long dispute over who discovered IT and when...Nevertheless, he had a lot of other achievements that stem from his profession and his dedication to his religious beliefs. A portion of his life he spent outside of his country of birth where he was very active and full of initiatives for the benefit of the community. He resumed his professional activities upon returning to his country in addition to his attempts, at first, to make his discovery recognized and used, and later, to be recognized as the “inventor”.
