Thank you Jackie and all of you who have been so supportive and loving. Compared to the problems all of you have overcome, mine are very minor. You are all, as I have said before, an inspiration and and the least I can do is send properly spelled posts. (besides, it's probably good therapy for both my eye-brain connection and my fingers, smile) I want to live up to the examples you have all set me. Love, Cindy Cindy Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites below Wish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+List Books Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List --- On Thu, 7/23/09, Jackie McBride <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Jackie McBride <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: my apologies for misspelled posts To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, July 23, 2009, 8:56 AM O, please! Yall-- proper spelling seems to have gone by the boards years ago w/the advent of text msgs, etc. It doesn't take something as drastic as stroke or blindness to be a bad speller lol. I can spell w/the best of 'em when I write formally. When I don't, though, I can get pretty creative, & that's the polite & edited version. But, Cindy, we're so glad 2 have u back! U had us really really scared there for a couple weeks. Don't make posting to us a chore by going thru each of them w/a fine-tooth comb. We can figure it out. We just want u well & happy. Don't stress yourself out about the small stuff. I'm sure every1 on this list would echo my sentiments about that. We're just so happy & grateful 2 have u back w/us. & that's both the short & long version of the truth.
