&lt;p&gt;A little frustrating to discover this info about the topic at all, called TCK on the web, &amp;amp; run into dead-ends so quickly. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What can you update everyone about the release/access to seeing the film?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have read that is was released in Japan, &amp;amp; just released in the U.S.A._ where?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kerrie &lt;br&gt;I am a new TCK online community member, &amp;amp; real world TCK  since the 1950's&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kerrie B.

&lt;p&gt;My son has ADHD and I know how frustrating it can be to get&lt;br&gt;help and support.Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is becoming one of&lt;br&gt;the most diagnosed disorders among children and even adults these days. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ADHD Children</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:49:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: (Pics) Largest And Unique Christmas Trees Around The World</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/pics-largest-and-unique-christmas-trees-around-the-world/#comment-393453403</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I love it, Thanks again.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">USB 3G</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:25:48 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Joy of Belonging: 36-year old man recovered from 12 years of stuttering &amp;#038; depression after &amp;#8220;making better friends&amp;#8221;</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/the-joy-of-belonging-36-year-old-man-recovered-from-12-years-of-stuttering-depression-after-making-better-friends/#comment-384598174</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I didn't finish my thought of, "But recognize that not every thing in life is completely right or completely wrong; But the point is, respect the fact that..."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was trying to make the point that we need to treat other people and their ideas with the same respect that we want for ourselves. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But by all means, stay away from people who show the type of disregard and disrespect that could bring harm to you or others. For example, if they do dangerous drugs or plan to break the law in some way and try to persuade you to join them in those activities. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And remember that whatever a person will do to others, they will do to anybody, including you-- whether it is hurtful gossip, serious lying, stealing, cheating, or hitting. I can''t think of any good reason to stay around people who can and will likely hurt us or our loved ones like that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are some of the lessons I have learned. I hope some of it helps you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Karentoday</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:06:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Joy of Belonging: 36-year old man recovered from 12 years of stuttering &amp;#038; depression after &amp;#8220;making better friends&amp;#8221;</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/the-joy-of-belonging-36-year-old-man-recovered-from-12-years-of-stuttering-depression-after-making-better-friends/#comment-384593761</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Seppe, you said, "Many times it comes to a confrontation I’m so deeply hurt in my &lt;br&gt;believes, principles and values by these friends that I can’t be friends&lt;br&gt; with them anymore. The person in question does not even understand why.&lt;br&gt; Not all people think as much as I do and are therefore many times &lt;br&gt;unaware of what they are doing and why I can’t be friends with them &lt;br&gt;anymore."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The thing about beliefs, principles and values is that not everybody has the same ones. Every person sees the world a little differently--and at times, a lot differently--than anyone else. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyone is different, so no person on earth is going to think exactly like you. But that does not make them wrong. And it does not make you wrong. It just makes you all human.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to keep friends, you must be flexible in your attitude. Recognize that everybody has a right and responsibility to think for themselves. You can "agree to disagree" about some things, such as politics, for example. But recognize that not every thing in life is completely right or completely wrong; But the point is, respect the fact that &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Better yet, just accept people for who they are. After all, you want them to accept you for who you are, don't you?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Treat other people the way you want them to treat you. That is the most important principle of all. Some people call it the Golden Rule. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If someone hurts your feelings without meaning to (by not following the Golden Rule, for example), recognize that they may have simply made a mistake, and they may deserve your forgiveness. After all, wouldn't you want a friend you value to forgive you if you accidentally hurt them?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All of us are right about some things and wrong about others. And many things in life have no clear right or wrong. Life is complicated. Circumstances, ideas, actions cannot always be judged as good or bad,  black or white, or right or wrong. There are a lot of gray areas in life. That goes for beliefs, principles and values as well as everything else. Including people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are intelligent, so read books about such things as how to have good relationships, how to get along with people, how to work with people, how to overcome difficult childhoods, etc. You may be surprised to learn that millions of us had difficult childhoods and had to raise ourselves, so to speak, to grow into mature, compassionate, understanding adults. We read related books, magazines and online articles; got counseling; took academic or religious classes; talked with close friends; and, believe me, thought just as much as you do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, people who can keep one, two, or three really good friends for years and years are very, very fortunate. All of us have friends who come and go. It's normal. But if you really care about a friend, give them the same amount of room to grow that you need for yourself. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also remember that you can have a certain belief or opinion today and change your mind about it tomorrow. That often happens as we learn. So don't be rigid in your thinking and judging. Be more flexible. Be open to new ideas. Be open to change. Give yourself and others a break. You deserve it. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And by the way, why not play snooker as a hobby? Just have fun with it. Where career is concerned, you will have the best chance of long-term success and growth if you work at something that you would want to do even if nobody paid you. (But certainly find a way to get paid for it, of course!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Karentoday</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:46:17 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: I am a failure, what about you?</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/i-am-a-failure-what-about-you/#comment-223056455</link><description>&lt;p&gt;You may feel like a burden to your parents and be unemployed right now, but everything changes in life. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">champs kell</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:47:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: I am a failure, what about you?</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/i-am-a-failure-what-about-you/#comment-218258283</link><description>&lt;p&gt;i'm sorry.. i got so inspired by your story i almost cried. but im 13.. i always leave everything to the last minuite and never get what i want done in time.. i don't study a bit as hard as i should, even though my parents' undeserving trust in me.. im overweight but not that fat, and i can never finish anything or get anywhere i want or do anything i'd like because i always fail!! i know it sounds horribly pathetic compared to your issues which i might say i was amazed at how they turned out.. but even though i keep telling myself not to give up i fail again and again and i've just grown tired, no one can be so strong. i feel like i have literally nothing n my life but my friends and faith in god. i never ever talk to anyone about this.. not because im ashamed or scared of what they might think of me, but because i haven't just grown tired of this, i've also grown sick. no studies.. i have 4 days left of school and im in the middle of my finals and i still can't get myself going!! what the hell is wrong with me that i've been trying to lose weight since last year and  i even ALWAYS eat healthy (seriously) but just can't do it till now?? i can never succeed in any of my goals and  simply feel pointless. please help.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Yaso</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jun 2011 14:38:18 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Joy of Belonging: 36-year old man recovered from 12 years of stuttering &amp;#038; depression after &amp;#8220;making better friends&amp;#8221;</title><link>http://blog.briceroyer.com/the-joy-of-belonging-36-year-old-man-recovered-from-12-years-of-stuttering-depression-after-making-better-friends/#comment-205926753</link><description>&lt;p&gt;All the criteria you said about this is  acceptable and I really wanted to share this information about everyone who knows about this...&lt;/p&gt;

I have read  the websites profile and also the stories of different persons who have encountered failure in their lives. I would like to share my own story of failure...I was terminated from my work and since then I cannot get a new job.. I can't passed the psychological exams needed for application and I have taken an international exam twice last year but I didn't achieved what I desire. I don't know what to do because it's been year already... &lt;/p&gt;

It helps, especially now when my home&lt;br&gt;life is falling apart. My parents are divorcing, My step father is&lt;br&gt;not on serious drugs, and we found he was also a drug dealer. I&lt;br&gt;finally was able to open up to my mom and tell her my step father&lt;br&gt;had molested me at one point in time, We cried for a while, and she&lt;br&gt;held on to me, and told me it wasn't my fault that that had happened&lt;br&gt;to me, she hadn't known and if she had she would have put a stop to&lt;br&gt;it. I tell you this only because I know your messages helped me over&lt;br&gt;come a lot of this, and come even closer to go, I don't know if you&lt;br&gt;realize how special your messages are, but you help people on a&lt;br&gt;deeper level than many of us could even comprehend. Thank you for&lt;br&gt;your messages, and I look forward to many more of them.&lt;/p&gt;
