A place to call my own - Message Board

Mine is a wireles keyboard so you can sit on the couch and text from 8 feet away. But it takes two AA batteries and eats them up pretty fast.

It's obsolete but all I have.

My mouse uses batteries, can alwasy tell when my times are slower and I'm having to steer to much that I will need spares!

When I get excessive typos, I should always check that first, but I was having a migraine that day and just forgot.

That's OK-we all make mistakes.

My package has arrived.

And my book's getting so good I can't stay away.

Oh, a wireless set-up. I understand.

I know someone who wanted to clean their wireless keyboard. They put it in the dishwasher. It didn't work afterward.

I checked the keyboard and the mouse. What a relief...no batteries.

Daymare, that is about my level of tech savvy, wash the keyboard in the dishwasher!

We baby boomers were so deprived because things hadn't been invented yet!

What I do to liven up the day and deal with life's stresses:

Write or type stories, poems, songs, quizzes, or blog entries;
Listen to or read books and magazines;
Practice piano;
Exercise;
Talk on the phone;
Listen to music;
Work on my audio drama; or
Write or tape a letter.

You play the piano? You are amazing, Jazmee.

Don’t know why this came back to me, but… the first one is the one I read the last time I looked into the subject (is there a story idea buried here somewhere? If so, was it always there?)

OK, the answer is yes-but also no (my main character is first molested, than raped, when he’s just two years old—it’s sometimes hard to distinguish such things)

I will go to my grave wondering what “that guy” was thinking. (His name was Dave, and he claimed to have been abused as a child—hogwash, to my mind)

Thanks Daymare.

I've been told people are inspired by me. Sometimes, I wonder why; what do I have that they don't? I'm just struggling to live my life the best I can with what I've been given.

Reply #1152. Sep 23 11, 3:13 PM

You try. Some people give up even before they try.

Reply #1153. Sep 23 11, 3:35 PM

You explore your options. To a person afraid to take the first step to live, that can be inspiring.

I just have to refrence a TV show called Expedition Impossible that we had in the US. It took place in the country of Morroco. Teams were made up of three people. They had team NYPD, New York cops.
Team No Limits had a blind member, Erik. I was so impressed with him. He has summited Mt. Everest, and rappeled, kayaked, whatever the challenge was with the best of them. One of the tests was to count how many cobras the snake charmers were holding, Erik quipped " I don't see any."

I think there were 13 teams at the start. Team No Limits almost won, but one of the sighted guys fractured his lower leg, but continued to compete. They placed second.

I sound like a commercial. But if you like that sort of TV show, The Amazing Race is starting this Sunday. They go from country to country on that one.

Jazmee, you'll just have to accept being inspirational.

I guess there's worse things I could be :))

And, yes, I know that sentence isn't grammatical--it would drive Mom crazy, and to an extent does me, too (irony? I do things to drive myself crazy-on purpose!)

I once—years ago—had a copy of his book; I think Mom got it for me.

I think I gave the Braille volumes away (if memory serves, there were four for just that one book-proof you can't condense Braille)

'Night'

That's Erik all right!

Jazmee, once at my job we were talking about our life's calling. I told them I knew exactly what my calling is, the girls very skeptically said "What"?

"To be the bad example that nobody should follow" I shot back, I got a huge laugh---they all knew it was true!

night-night I'm going to watch a little TV.

Jazmee, are you awake? How are your hands today?
