Dear Em do not be upset by people, put your foot down with a firm hand and tell them all to run up a shutter,... my memory is awful, my kids are always saying mums ar it again, putting the wotsit on the thingy,( well we have to since the wheel fell off)..don't let them get you down............ love Barbara,,xx

And the same to you Mags lol:)))) Yes, that's the one:)) There isn't a prize though:))

Dearest Em, I am sorry to hear about your accident and the side affects it has caused. I would never have thought you had problems. Your posts always seem fine. As for the person who pointed out your spelling error. Is their spelling perfect? Thinking of you Raven

Radishes??

And before you ask, it's not tomatoes. What's the use asking me though, I can't remember what they're called:))

Have a hug! ((E)) So what if you have a problem with spelling; what's it to them??You're still a fantastic writer. That's why authors have editors, it's not the spelling and grammar, it's the IDEAS that count and your brain certainly doesn't lack those! I forget words too and I'm always using the wrong ones. I have no excuse at all. We had a babycue instead of a barbecue the other night - the mind boggles! LOL I remember a great play on television some time ago with Thora Hird. She had had a stroke and had problems remembering her words. Her therapist was insisting that, if she couldn't remember a word, she should describe it and was reminding her a bit sharply that that was what she should be doing. Thora Hird's character then retorts 'But I ALWAYS called IT his THINGAMAJIG!!' - priceless LOL Stuff 'em Em - Now where's the next episode?? Mags xxx

Nope:))

Ladybirds?

Ermmmmmm NO Em - try again lol:))

Oh so you do that too Deanna - if I wake up in the night I often remember the names of the people or things I have forgotton during the day.........funny that....

Em, I used to be so good at spelling, but now I often have to sit and really think!! Memory going too, but at least I have my OH. We were talking today about someone (in the past) and could not remember her name........... it took the two of us an hour!! BUT we did get it in the end!! Isn't that cause for celebration? LOL And I would NEVER laugh at anyone whose spelling was not up to scratch. That is not why I join in the fun on here. Deanna X :-0)

Em - I have honestly never noticed any spelling mistakes in your threads and actually I've always thought how intelligent you come across! I don't generally pick people up on their spelling or grammer - I would hate to embarrass someone - besides mine's not that hot. lol My Dad has always had a terrible memory and then had a triple heart by-pass just over 2 years ago and now he has a tendency to repeat himself - we just ignore it. Don't worry too much about it. Kaye x By the way - I can never remember how to spell Shepherd anyway and I have a GSD Dog!

Em, I am sorry to hear that you have been made to feel embarrassed, it was a thoughtless thing to do. Don't let it bother you! Lindy, who speaks and writes 'funagalore' ;-)))

snooker balls chrissie?

Yes Em - I am partially deaf too, and have some blinding conversations where I have misheard.

Just been reminded of something else. Hubby loves to tell everyone how I can never remember the right word for things and once went into the greengrocers and asked for those little round red things:))

Lol Brian....

oh Brian.. thats funny! lol

My memory has always been bad, but I struggle through. And as for typos, I presented a paper to one on our committees with the chairman's name as Mrs Fukker instead of Mrs Fuller : whoops!

lol sally... thats like me with hubby...;))
