Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2005Typist Apology
I apologize to the group for my miserable typing tonight. I don't know why I am missing and mispelling words so much lately, but I am sure that reading my posts has been a greater irritation than usual. That's alright Steve don't worry about it. I have been spelling exponentially as expotentially for over two years now on this group. Dave P >I apologize to the group for my miserable typing tonight.

Steve Kramer, Standardized spelling is terrible thing. I can ( and do) spell most words several ways. Steve U New keyboard?? I have been trying one out for the past 2 days and it is driving me nuts!! I have now put the older wireless one back on here to have a break. Took me a week or two to get used to the setup of the keys on this one at the beginning too. I am a *touch typist*....so it may be easier for those that are not. Cheers...Heather >I apologize to the group for my miserable typing tonight. I don't know why >I am missing and mispelling words so much lately, but I am sure that >reading my posts has been a greater irritation than usual. I am also a touch typist. Funny how that happened. Found an old (I mean old) Remington office-size typewriter in our basement when I was a kid. My mom said it was broke. I was mechanically inclined and I fixed it. Then, I began playing with it. My mom gave me here old high school typing manual to "play" with. My own curiosity got me interested and I learned how to type. When I was told I had to take a typing course in high school, the instructor was fascinated. He'd never seen a boy who knew how to type. By the time I had a mandatory typing class in college, I was able to test out with an A. But, now, I'm lazy and forget words, add letters to the end of words, or sometimes leave off letters. > New keyboard?? I have been trying one out for the past 2 days and it is > driving me nuts!!

Wow!! Not many males around that can touch type. I only knew one other in high school (before your time, of course), but he was later an NHL hockey player. He took the full *commercial course*, not just a class in typing. Who was he? Bobby Nevin. Anyone remember him? Played for the Leafs way back when Frank Mahovlich was king. Just a bit of trivia, lol.

Visit a software development company - primarily male and they type for a living. Problem is I can type as fast as my fingers can move, but I can't write legibly anymore. YES! My hand actually hurts when I try to write by hand for any period of time. Which is why I resist my wife's attempts to make me actually write Christmas cards. I figure if they really want to know how I am or what I am up to they can phone. But they never do (not you Mike, Curtis, and Ron). Cheap bastards. And then she wants me to write to those people. > Visit a software development company - primarily male and they type for a > living.

HAH!! Where do you think the game started? As if you didn't already know, lol. We invented basketball too....where would you all be if we hadn't. Still playing that odd form of what you call football?? Canada Rules!! > They play hockey in Canada, too? > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >>>>>why I am missing and mispelling words so much lately, but I am sure >>>>>that reading my posts has been a greater irritation than usual.

I've never watched more than a few minutes of a basketball or hockey (or baseball) game. What else y'all got to offer? '-) To be fair . . . Scenery. Great people. Recreation, aka REAL sports. I.P. Well...I'm in Chicago, the home of the BlackHawks. I love hockey, played as a goalie, and remember Bob Nevin AND the "Big M"...also li'l bro Pete. I have a webtv which has a GREAT newsreader (which is how I found this great group lat year)...and it uses a wireless keyboard. Two lousy AA batteries and I can type pretty well but still miss letters. As a former druggist...I always used my 2 index fingers to type. After over 23 years in the store...I have nice "bone bumps' on both of my index fingers from typing. "Take one capsule twice a day as directed." :-) Before computers...I had to use an old manual typewriter and type on a tiny paper label. :-) Be not bothered by missing letters, and happy holidays to all.

Problem was that the semester ended before we got to learn the numeric part of the typewriter, so I could type the letters by touch, but not the numbers. So I had to become an accountant because I could never pass a standard typing test. >I am also a touch typist. Funny how that happened.

In recognition of my lack of Rambo skills the U.S. Army made me a key punch operator at first. Then I was sent off to do hard duty in Germany as a payroll clerk. The problem, for me, was that the numerical keypad on a keypunch machine was like the telephone, upper left was 1, etc. Well, on the ten key calculator it is like on your computer keyboard, upper left is 7, etc. It took me months to relearn how to key without looking. Wonder how many guys got paid seven times what they were supposed to?? > New keyboard?? I have been trying one out for the past 2 days and it is > driving me nuts!!

David, A few years ago my wife purchased a hand held calculator with the the telephone key layout, she thought it was great. My opinion was, keep that damned thing to yourself.

All that time I was saying I had a pain in the abdomen when what I really had was a pain in the...well, you know. I have also noticed a reduction in my typing skills as well as on the ten key calculator (a serious problem for an accountant). I chalk it up to not enough sex. >I apologize to the group for my miserable typing tonight.

Dude, get your priorities straight... missing a letter is not a problem If you're missing a colon, however, things can get difficult. >> I apologize to the group for my miserable typing tonight.

Of course, I love Christmas time because there is no "L". Play missed T for me. >> Dude, get your priorities straight... missing a letter is not a problem >> If you're missing a colon, however, things can get difficult. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Play missed T for me. GROAN!! Took a minute to get your punny humour!! As Stavros said, a Happy American Thanksgiving to you all!! And a question, if I may. How come you celebrate it so late? Ours is the second Monday in October, which is to coincide with the end of the harvest, I would assume. Cheers......Heather PS....."Play Misty For Me".....great song and great movie. "Heather"asked. > How come you celebrate [Thanksgiving] so late? Ours is the second Monday > in October The Top Ten reasons Yanks do Thanksgiving in November: 10. The football rankings aren't sufficiently matured that early to make the games as important. 9. The highways are still clear in early Oct. 8. What good's a long drive home without $#!++^/ weather? 7. People would REALLY get fed up with full-time Christmas music in the malls for > two months. 6. All the people who go home for the fourth Thursday in November would miss out on the turkey. 5. Jabba the Kennedy wanted Thanksgiving in October and EVERYBODY knows the man's a compete fool. 4. Thanksgiving used to be in October until the ACLU sued to delay it because some turkey said it was offended by Thanksgiving in October. 3. Thanksgiving in October is a socialist plot. 2. It's Bush's fault. 1. I read somewhere that Thanksgiving in October has side effects. I.P. ROFL!! Give David Letterman a call...your 'Top Ten' are way better than any of his!! And as we are in the middle of a flippin' snowstorm, I think #8 is appropriate today for me. (G) Heather > "Heather"asked. >> How come you celebrate [Thanksgiving] so late? Ours is the second Monday [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I.P. The Pilgrims came to the New World too late to plant and harvest crops and would have starved, if not for the friendly indians who brought them bounty from what they had stored from THEIR harvest. We celebrate Thanksgiving near that time of the year, after what would have been the harvest. The next year, the Pilgrims planted and worked the fields, but almost starved again two years later. They had this great idea that no matter what anyone did, they would all reap an equal share of the rewards. By the second year, most were working very little and there was insufficient food produced for the total. They very quickly realized this was not going to be successful and changed. But, for some reason, in some parts of North America, socialism continues to pop its ugly head in the guise of federal health care. But that's a whole 'nuther story. >>> Dude, get your priorities straight... missing a letter is not a problem >>> If you're missing a colon, however, things can get difficult.
