Our "president" and I do use that word loosely has out done himself and again proves to be excessively stupid. www.infowars.com/obama-signs-global-internet-treaty-worse-than-sopa/ This is a clear violation of the Constitution! (again) My biggest hope is that court case in GA proves that O'Bummer was ineligible to hold office then we can undo some of the things he has done. This is what happens when a bunch of stupid kids vote for not the most qualified but the guy with the rock video. This is what you get when you are more worried about saving Wall Street than investing in Education. This is what happens when we allow millions of illegals into the country unchecked, circumventing the process so many have fought years to get through. And don't get me started on St--st-- stuttering Bush. Dogs pee on bushes, it should have stayed that way. There should be an IQ test given before one is allowed to vote, or at the very least a civics test. |

I'm irritated by abbreviations that have no explanation as to what they are. We're just supposed to somehow "know" what they mean. Gone are the days when you spelled out the whole name with the abbreviation in brackets, right off to start, before proceeding to use it. Now I rake my way through an article hoping that some clue will be provided later on.  |

I think Lily was referring more in regards to acronyms. But this is interesting too:
"if yuo can raed tihs, you hvae a sgtrane mnid, too.
Can you raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it."

Maybe this is why my typos are so numerous and I have a heck of a time removing all of them. My mind just reads what I wanted to type and not always what I really did type. While reading, your mind can guess what two or three words are coming next anyway. |

About 75% of what the federal government does today is unconstitutional. Just wait and see what Obama does if he gets four more years! A professor in Orlando asked his new class if they would like to see private property abolished, and 28% said yes. Americans today think they are owed a certain standard of living, even if they do not work. |

I know someone with dyslexia, and they read this with more ease than when it was spelled correctly.
Funny how the mind works.
I'm the typo King myself. Just laziness on my part. Makes for more work when I do the first edit on my rough (1st) drafts.

SO Things were going well too well I guess....
I was working on the book, things were going well, everything was lining up nicely.
I go out pick up a steamer trunk make dinner we sit down to eat and BAM!
One of our outlets catches fire! The room filled with thick smoke that smelled like burning plastics, thankfully I plug everything into surge protectors with a circuit trip-fuse.
It pooped and shut down the power to that outlet... We are all OK, the house stinks, and things are either wet or smell of the fire extinguisher. Now I have a huge mess to clean up, so I might be OOT ( out of touch ) for a few days.
Sorry guys.
~BL~

Oh my word what a dreadful experience, BL  . It just go to show how easily fires can start. You'll have a horrible mess to clean up, but the main thing is nobody was hurt. This sounds like faulty electrical wiring, be sure and get it checked. |

No that was my briliant husband over loading the socket.
As I dug into the mess I found he had pluged in a multi plug power strip and then piggy backed another one into that one... He had like 9 things connected to that one wall outlet.
