Oops!

Sorry for all the mistakes in my post, folks. It's getting worse and worse as I age, I think. I sure could use a proofreader! :-)

Oh gee. Now it's getting worse! This was meant to be read as a "correction" post on Palimpsest's thread, "So what next?" Surely, it's time to retire from this keyboard. Or maybe just to retire. Period! Please, just disregard this "thread." Thanks!

Thread? What thread? I didn't see no stinking thread!

RE: Oops!

So, I'll raise my hand and say I'm guilty of posting without proofing. Sometimes it's because I have to run. Sometimes it's because I can't focus well enough (and am usually doing a couple other things at a time, and I can make errors on my relaxation activities if I want to (so there!) extra space here because GW takes out the second parenthesis ). Marthavila, I read your post, but I'm too out of focus (THUNDER!) to proof yours either and missed the oops there. (Though I did not reply until everyone else did, much as I wanted to, because you said not to. But I'm going to defy that and join the crowd because it's so much more fun to get in on your oops.)

RE: Oops!

That and going into a room and not remembering why. The worst one: having something in my hand. Two SECONDS later I've lost it. I haven't moved from the spot. How does that happen?

Ever look for your glasses for 10 minutes and their on top of your head?

RE: Oops!

You guys are so funny! But what a comfort it is to know I am not alone! And, thanks, momj47 for the advice to download Google spell checker. Although to be honest, my posting mistakes are not always misspelled words. Sometimes, when I rushing to share something, I'll carelessly drop out words altogether from my posts. The writing problem is somewhat similar to the verbal kind -- as when 'm talking to others and an oh-so- critical noun (never a verb) chooses to disappear from my brain and I'm left with a mental blank. LOL!

RE: Oops!

Do any of you touch-type? I learned in high school. Theoretically, it makes you a lot more productive on the computer. In practice, it means you can commit typos that are entire words long. Sometimes whole parts of sentences.

I will often type a series of words that sort of sound like what I want to say, except they bake no penitence, um, sorry, make no sense, whatsoever.
