You know, my table manners and hygiene would be much better if it wasn't for these damned restraints! Thank goodness for voice-controlled computers.
Ahem.
Hi, my name's bob, and I edit my posts.
I've been using computers for, oh, some 25 years or so now, so you'd think I could just relax and (<--edit #1) let all those little spelling and grammatical errors go ... but, being a teacher, I feel ... you know ... compelled (there! I SAID it!) ... to correct those sorts of gaffs. But with the support of my friends and family, I've been able to modify my behavior. Somewhat. I mean, I no longer use the delete key to backspace over every single little imperfection, since everything after the first mistake is imperfect ... now, I'm proud to say, I just use the arrow keys to change what, well, NORMAL people would consider to be, well, you know ... the missssstakes.
Sometimes, I can even just use the mouse to click directly at the muuh, muuh, mmmmmistake and fix it there.
Someday -- this is my secret dream -- I hope that when I reach for my mouse to go and hit that Back button, I'll be able to stop, smile, and accept my posts for what they are ... imperfections and all! [sniff] We all have our imperfections, and that's what makes us who we are. My posts deserve no less.
cheers,
bob
[ps to kathie: thanks! =^)]... only one edit ... YEAH! First drafts are us ... heh heh ....
