To n n I'm so happy you have a power chair and you can actually get out of the house and go places in it. What a blessing to live in an area that allows you to do that. Can you get in it easily? I need help to get in mine. Can't lift my leg on the foot rest. But there's no place around here I can go by myself. [too rural] I'd love to be in an area where there are shops I could go into, and just be around people somtimes.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 n, You are the cat's meow!!! Even when my brain functioned properly.. I was just never quick with the wit.. Do you think maybe that's why when I had an unfortunate slip of the tongue, everyone thought it was intentional, yet while my best friend DID intentionally say what she would say.. they considered it a slip of the tongue?.. And here I always thought it was cause she "looked" sweet & innocent.. and I "looked" like the little demon I was.. LOL HUGS |)onna But of course, Akiba!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 On another list, one for cystic fibrosis--and years ago, when my R.S.D.was much worse (Google it) the members used to keep track of my typos--I remembered the gem I quoted from myself because I actually sent it offto a dear friend in Zimbabwe (yet!). She loved it, and I suspect, told everyonewho spoke English in her environment--Zimbabwe was formerly ia,as in Cecil of Britain, so I fear that my gaffs became legendary.Then, for fun, I sent a post off to Sharon, showing what happens if yourfingers (I was taught touch typing in secondary school) are placed off by one key--kind of looks like Czech or some other Slavic language--no offense intended to those who use those languages.Love to you, l)onna,n, who alternates between sweet and demonicTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, November 21, 2010 8:53:28 AMSubject: Re: / reply to Akiba and group n, You are the cat's meow!!!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 n, I also learned "touch" typing.. and not being able to actually "feel" the home keys presents problems from time to time.. You should have been in our tech support division, the day that switched the home keys on the keyboard of the 1 other touch typist in our department!.. He also brought in a TSR (terminate & stay resident) program, then installed it on the machine she was using.. one by one the letters on the screen of whatever she was typing dropped into a pile at the bottom of the computer screen.. On another day.. she came back from lunch to find her.. well everything that should have been upside right on the monitor, was now upside down on the monitor.. Once again.. compliments of .. Fortunately.. he couldn't use those on me, because I knew how to fix them.. (other poor girl didn't).. So he got me with things like.. "When is a door not a door?" questions.. AND he wonders why she transferred out of technical support and into the "business" tech support side! and WHY I'm still living with him..

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 That is something I've wondered about . Just what would I do if the MonSter took away the use of my hands, even if only temporarily.. He keeps talking DragonSpeak and installing a copy of that.. I suppose that it would or should work fairly well if that every happens.. but I knock on wood for that one.. So far I've been granted all my requests.. and those were.. If I have a choice between MS and a brain tumor.. I'll take the MS please.. and then If I have a choice between my legs and my arms.. I'll take my arms.. I'll keep that keyboard in mind.. it certainly sounds easier than trying to type single-handed or fingered on a standard layout keyboard..

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 It sucks, but that's life. I'll be getting dragon dictate, but there are times when it's just not practical. I have a friend who is a complete quad, yet rarely uses it unless he has a lengthy letter to dictate. I've been playing with the windows version a bit lately. You can actually change your keyboard through the regional language setup, then buy stickers (got mine on eBay) to place to show where the keys are.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'd have to use the "hunt & peck" method, at least for awhile, with that keyboard layout. If I had to use it with my laptop, I think I'd be in trouble when it came to the numbers part. I already have quite a bit of difficulty locating the number keys on a standard layout.. LOL.. I have no clue just how I managed to get through Typing I and Typing II in high school, without learning to hit the number keys without looking at them. Taking the time to locate them during timed typing trials probably brought my words per minute down substantially. But the instructor never knew I was peeking!.. LOL..
