Sunday Funday
A few days ago, I noticed how my touch typing has improved, in both speed and accuracy, due to the convergence of my bifocals and this computer desk. The only way I can focus on the monitor is to slide the keyboard shelf all the way in and scoot the chair up close. Not seeing the keyboard has forced me to use and refine my touch skills.
The M.E. threw a monkey wrench into that today. The symptom du jour is numbness in my right hand. Motor function is okay, sensory function null. Unable to feel the little nubbin on the home-row J key, I have to stop and fumble around each time I lose my place. This, however, I intend to turn to my advantage. I am getting better and better at finding J.

As
raiding preceded
trading, so marriage by capture preceded marriage by contract. Some
women would connive at capture in order to escape the domination of the
older men of their tribe; they
preferred to fall into the hands of men of their own age from another
tribe. This pseudo elopement was the transition stage between capture
by force and subsequent courtship by
charming.
V: Virgo
W: weird
X: Xangan
Y: Y did I do this? YOUR turn next.
Z: Zarathustra
Thus you have deprived mankind
of good life and immortality.
But in fact, you, who are but deceptive gods,
have deceived yourselves
with your evil mentality, deed, and speech
by providing the wrongful with power.
(Gathas: Song 5 – stanza 5)

ryc: and as we both know some in each group are seriously addicted. If you plant no seeds you grow no grass. I like your blog.
I once played keyboard scrabble on my boss’ keyboard at work. (A previous boss at a previous job) I pulled all the keys off and put them back on to spell out a couple words. I thought my boss could type without looking at the keyboard and figured it’d be days before he noticed they were outta whack.
Nope. Imagine his surprise when he’d look at a key on the board, hit it and a different letter would appear on the monitor.
He had to peel all the keys off, hit each blank key and them put it’s appropriate cover back on. Needless to say, he wasn’t a very happy camper. I, on the other hand, was greatly amused. 
I’ve done those quizzes before and ended up being the middle finger. LOL
Hey, I’m a virgo too! Touch typing is great! I’ll have to take some time and try all those tests and the alphabet, I can claim a lot of those traits too! Peace.
I like the “not serious” bits as well
You have the most fun of surveys!
Enchiladas sound really good right now
Thanks for the blogthings.
There’s a site on the wide web, involving cats and lots of internet lingo, and I once found a picture that mentioned Zarathustra but I couldn’t figure out what they were referencing…I tried looking it up on Wikipedia, but that’s about as far as my skills in web-searching go, but thanks to your link I’ve got what information I was looking for. Thanks for inadvertently helping out!
