ok .. I have to say that discussion is histerical!!!!!!!!

And she can't spell either.

yeah .. you got me. {{hangs head in shame}}



I thought you misspelled it on porpoise. ("histerical" since a
male-oriented discussion. Like some say "herstory" when talking
about women in "history".)


hahah Sometimes, my fingers do the spelling vs. my brain! It goes back
to my original typing class on that manual typewriter (a dinosaur now) in
Jr High school where we practiced certain letter combinations to gain
speed.


I had typing in HS on a manual. Kids have it so easy today. I hated typing
though I did learn QWERTY which apparently is not going away until voice
recognition gets perfected, but looks like kb's will be around for a while
still... I hated manual typing and getting to the last line of the page and
screwing up and the teacher saying I had to start all over on a new page.
And there was still carbon paper around then. The original cc: Kids don't
know how easy they have it! Or, what it was like walking 5 miles to
school, in below zero weather, in a foot of snow, and being chased by wolves
on the way.

We had locks at work where you had to push in buttons with both hands in a
certain sequence. I did them so many times, I didn't have to look at the
numbers. Occasionally someone new would ask the combination and I couldn't
tell them. I would have to get up and go to the door and let my fingers so
it and decode what my fingers did. They say the body has memory that the
conscious mind isn't always conscious of.
