TGIF and TGFN

Thank God It's Friday and Thank God For Nadya. I am glad to be here. I finally figured out how to do this. I am now officially middle aged and technically sydlexic, I mean dyslexic. I am glad I am here with y'all and look forward to many interesting things to come. Big hugs!

  1. Welcome, Melanie aka HCM! So glad to have you with us! I feel your 'technical sydlexia' as I often refer to myself as a technophobe!!

    Look forward to hearing more from you,

  2. Hi Melanie (HCM)

    You can call me Sheri since that is my real name and I don't mind sharing my real name on this blog. I am also starting to ween myself off the Bach Board but I think I'll still be checking once or twice a day just to see if there are any announcements or interesting NEWS, not rumors.

    It's late now so I'm heading off to bed, but I look forward to "meeting" you all here.

  5. Hi Melanie -- you aren't my Melanie are you???
    But that's a whole other "man I love the internet" story!!! And no I wasn't swinging that way - just two fabulous sista's from other misters I met along the way.

    No matter what WELCOME!!!

  7. Hi HCM,

    I have a bit of classic dyslexia myself. I type words with letters consistently out of order. I even do this with my name! I often read the wrong words or I scramble word order. The resulting sentences I read are usually much more interesting or funny than the originals! Worst of all, I even hear words out of order a lot. Nadya's patience gets many trials with me. I was very successful when I was a software tester because my backwards thinking allowed me to find fatal errors that no one else thought to look for. I am the fool who can prove that anything is far from foolproof.

    One of my favorite comic strips shows a man collecting money at a table. Beside him is a sign that reads "Help stop dailysex". His wife approaches him and the caption says: "That's nice honey, but let me help you spell 'dyslexia'".
