5. Oh, You'll Get Flamed All Right
Some people here have no sense of humor.

BTW, my wife (The Princess) is also dyslexic. She said to say "Helol, fiend."

8. Dyslexic here checking in
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 09:55 PM by DELUSIONAL
We are in good company -- lots of very smart people.

Since I am dyslexic -- I don't believe that bushie is -- he has other problems -- mostly he is just damned lazy.

In a way dyslexia is a blessing -- because we do have a different way of seeing the world -- and to survive we have to be better listeners and more aware of our environment than the kids who can float through school and get their unearned "A".

Mostly it is nice to know that our way of learning does have a name and that we ARE NOT STUPID. Generally we are smarter than our teachers.

Oh and thank goddog for computers and spell check!


(edited for damned dyslexia)

9. Hey, not cool! My brother's dyslexic!
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 09:57 PM by Spiffarino
He read your post, mister. He was so depressed he decided to end it all and jumped behind a speeding bus.

:evilgrin:

On edit: Yes, he really is. He's an artist and a photographer. Dyslexics are found among the most talented and creative people in the world.

He lays awake at night wondering if there really is a dog.
