~Sticky i ~ :-(

My i is acting up again.. I had to beat the daylights

out of my keyboard to get it to work... Its a new key

board only a few months old, so its not that its worn

out.. When my nubbies wear off of the j and f keys

I have to replace my keyboard.. I cant look at my key

board when I type.. If I do I slow way down in typing.

I was taught the old way to type.. The teacher I had

in 10th grade, Miss Swanson was a great teacher...

She taught me, my sister AND my dad to type! :-)

The first day in her class she would tell you that you

had 3 days, as she handed you a picture of a keyboard.,

to LEARN and memorize that keyboard.. She tested us

all the time.. When that 3rd day came.. she walked up

and down between the desks going to each one of us

while we typed. She would hold a piece of paper over

the keyboard so we couldn't see it..If you stopped

typing, well you did NOT memorize that keyboard! I

remember I even had dreams about learning it.. And

I can say I did learn and at one time I could almost

type 100 words a minute.. I was very fast.

Ive slowed down in typing speed, but I very seldom

make a mistake.. well with spell checker in every email

program you don't need to worry, you will get a red

line under the misspelled ones, at least in Incredimail..

But to this day, I cant look at my hands.. I look at what

I am typing, and if the nubbies are worn off I have to

replace the keyboard.. The nubbies on those 2 keys

are place points for your index fingers so you can

just put your hands on there and feel so you know you

will use the right letters... without looking.. I could be

blind and still type. Miss Swanson did a good job.. :-)

Poor Travis is sick.. He was due to come today and he

phoned about 9 or so, sounded awful.. all stuffy and

coldified... :-) new word :-) he had a bad cold.. so he

said he wasn't coming today, which is ok.. I like the

quiet days :-) I have nothing else planned for today,

I may call Rebecca to see why she didn't come by last

Wednesday like she said she was... Most times she

will let me know.. When I don't hear from her it makes

me worry something is up.. *sigh* :-)

I plan to call my sis tonite to check on Stanley.. I am

sure hes doing ok.. I bet Shirley is wore out as I

know she is up at that hospital every day for hours

and then goes home to finish up all the Christmas

requests she had for lounge pants, purses and what

all... She stays busy... I'm sure if he wasn't doing

well she would phone or Bev would contact me on

Yahoo...or send a email....

I'm gonna post this and watch a movie. I LOVE
movies.. No commercials... I get so sick of those,

they advertise so many pills now- but listen to the

side effects.. they almost make you laugh! I cant

imagine someone deliberately taking a pill knowing

it will cause deaf dumb or blindness! :-) and many

do.. :-) Listen sometimes to what they say.. it IS

funny.. :-)

Well, this laughing GORGEOUS WEEBLE is done

for today.. Plus its lunch time.. I have some left

over pasta and sauce from yesterday.. I KNOW

it will be even better today... :-) Wanna come for

lunch? Post time and for my "I Shall Return!"

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
