Haha! Yeah, and I'll plan for teaching ELD tomorrow before school. And I'll ignore this call from my student loan company because I'm going to figure that all out on the weekend.
And I will keep telling myself that I love my job, love what I do, love who I work with, that they all listen to me when I talk to them, and eventually, yes... eventually, I will actually believe it!
I try not to lie to myslef too, but...I tell myslef that there really are benefits to working as a cog in a giant corporate machine.
I tell myslef that i really will clean the house this weekend.
I tell myslef that it's wrong to make fun of typos.
I tell myslef that i'm subtle....
I'm going to clean the house this weekend too. just me, myslef and I.
Are you both mispelling myself on purpose, or do you both have the same form of dyslexia? ha ha
So slefish.
Thanks, Lori! Maybe i'm not really lying to myslef when i tell myslef i'm subtle.
I say keep on lying to yourslef Gretch. Why not?
Here I sit reading your posts instead of getting in the shower so I can leave early and get gas. I only have myslef to blame.
Now you're being honest. Stop it!! Didn't I say lies are the way to go?
Back in college, someone wrote "Dyslexics Untie!" on the bathroom wall. The funny part is that a friend of mine, who's actually dyslexic, couldn't for the life of her figure out in what way or ways she was supposed to be oppressed. Some people are just WAY too sensitive, decided she. I stood there pointing at her and laughing. (It was meant to be supportive.)
Scary that I read it as Unite as well... ha ha ha! Tehy say taht if you mix up wrods by msiepllnig tehm yuor barin can srot tehm out and you sohuld be albe to raed the snteence the way it was mneat to be raed.
Follow? *So long as the first and last letter are in the correct place!
Yes, I've read about this. It seemed to me that my brain was also figuring out meaning based on context. Don't you think?Watching your brain work: It's easy, and it's fun!

& GR failed me again - did not display the posts in between 16 & 19. And that's stoopid too.
Kasia, just write a big "R" on your right hand, and a big "L" on your left, or whatever their Polish equivalents might be. It works for six year-olds all over the world.
But then everybody would know about my predicament, and I's like to keep it secret!!!
Okay, this will work. Put your hands out in front of you like you're checking your nails. Look at the thumb on your right hand. It's pointing toward your LEFT hand! Note: This also works the other way around, too.You're welcome.
uhm. just look at the hands and the thumb and forefinger that make the letter L is the left.sometimes it helps if you have a beauty mark or a wedding band too... hee hee
Doni wrote: "It's simpler and makes more sense."How is it simpler??!!! It's a lot to remember and process each time.
What I do it to shake each hand a little (one at a time) and whichever feels more dexter - that's the right one.
It's just I cannot do that in all the situations. Like driving a car - it gets a bit tricky.... And it was no fun during the driving exam, I had a small heart attack everytime I was asked to turn left. I kept turning on the winker and saying a little prayer that I chose the right left. No fun at all.
You Bunny? But you're always so together....
Nobody's COMPLETELY together. Nor, I think, should anyone be. This may not seem immediately relevant, but it is: I've done portraiture for years, and the hardest people to get a likeness for are "perfectly" beautiful people. They always come out looking like generic model-types. You have to find the flaw. Then the picture actually looks like them. Isn't that kind of interesting?Kasia: It wasn't meant to be simple. Gotcha!!
do you call it a winker Kasia or was that a typo? That's so cute!! Makes more sense too because blinking implies both eyes (like hazards) but winking is one eye (right turn left turn).It's settled. I love it.
@#*%#$&!!!! winker?? I do not know how I call it, but it wasn't a typo either. Gosh. That's what I get for picking up stuff from other people!! I should be more careful in that department.Good you've grasped the meaning and weren't too offended by it. You can count on me screwing something up anytime.

Steps? Steps!!? That's what it was? How evil of you Doni!!!
"Winker" -- it's just cute. I can't help that, I didn't make the rules.
Who'd you pick "winker" up from? It's not offensive it's CUTE. SUPER CUTE like a pink twinkie with silver frosting and heart shaped sprinkles.
I think she was going for 'wanker' the word being wanker, not 'winker'.
Gretchen wrote: "Who'd you pick "winker" up from?"That would be my mother and her insurance correspondence with some Brits.
(Which makes the 'wanker' hypothesis a little troubling, oh well.)
Well I LIKE it and I'm going to use it.
Absolutely. I think we should also start saying it. Especially Serv. It would sound really cute coming from Serv.
It is not a blinker or a winker... the proper nomenclature is directional signal (also acceptable turn signal).
So I would probably say:"Hey You didn't signal!"
Did you see that asshole cut me off, she didn't even signal!
Do I need to use the turn signal when merging?
Indicator is also proper. But NOT cute.
Ah yes, turn signal, directional signal, indicator are square and boring... I think I'll stick with blinker.BTW, now that I think about it, a direct translation of 'winker' is sometimes used in colloquial polish. So yeah, I'm Polish people.
NOT blinker, Kasia. We've worked it out. It's WINKER! It makes sense and it's cute. We're now going to go out and spread it around. Soon everyone will be saying it.
suuuuuuuuuuure I will.
