Do you ask mylot questions in real life ?

True there is so much more to conversations then mere words. Okay, Mal, pregnancy and baby rearing leads to early Alzeimers so if that's supposed to a than not then - no I think I'm right! I like interacting thru words better though because it feels more natural, its my favourite form of communication - for the reasons your express so well and because my hands are a much quicker translator of my thoughts then my voice. And my wording is more genuine, with talking I have to edit a bit because it wouldn't sound right to convey things the way I do in writing. It would seem stilted or something. Plus I have fresh victims to try out all my million trillion questions on!

Victims?! Hardly, I mean we are getting paid for it =P But really, I think your topics are great, they give us all something to do =D I feel the same sometimes about verbalising my thoughts making them sound stilted or something of that nature.. Sometimes I find it very difficult to speak colloquially, because I just love the sound of poetic, sophisticated language. It flows so much more easily and, to me, sounds a lot more pleasant. Artemis, I strongly recommend some Alzheimer's medication, as I assure you it is a 'than' and not a 'then'. Although if you hadn't pointed it out, I may well not have noticed. Which reminds me of something I read once, a few years back, about how more competent readers are less likely to pick up on a typo/misspelled word than someone less competent, as we tend to skim read, whereas they will look at and try to comprehend each word. I found that quite interesting, and so far I've certainly found it to be true. Of course most of the time I'm looking for errors.. just for fun =P

Oh my gosh, I was just finishing up Massage Therapy schooling when I got pregnant. Thank goodness. You see, I had a high grade point average - I'd been afraid my brain had atrophied in the years I'd been away from school, but really, it was just a bit dusty. So, I was in clinic and we took a series of tests in there, mostly to practice for the Licensing Exam which is brutal. I took all but one the first week. Now Massage Therapy isn't all rub a dub dub, there's a lot of Anatomy and Physiology involved, as well as business and nutrition and chinese medicine and such. Anyway, not sure why I overlooked that last test. I aced all those tests I took the first week. The last? I had to take three times before I passed. I found out why too - I was pregnant of course. Having the baby does not to change the fact that my memory is sooooooo shot. Tonight is unusual, usually I go to sleep at aobut 8:00 but Robert still wakes up several times during the night - or wails in his sleep. My migraines too, tend to burn away my memory and cognitive functioning after its passed the next day. I used to be such an ace at english grammar. Now half the time I spell it grammer!
