Stress can cause typos:?

Happy New Yeas lkbooi yes I fou nd o ut just getting up and going for a short walk relaxed me and I came back and typed with no errors at all.Also my son pointed out to me that my font size was too small and could be making it hard for me to read and type perfectly too. I am doing so much better today. I had a lovely Christmas.

hi introvertshy Yes i am s ure I was really stressed as now I have had a good nights sleep I am doing so much better and having more fun here too.Doing meditation is something I used to do then got out of the habit.but as it really does help I am going to start doing it again.Merry Christmas.

hi rosekiss Merry C hristmas to you too.It never snows in So uthern Californis but its going to rain as its pouring right now. I also type way too fast then see a whole string of errors.I guess we really want to get into mylotting and get too fast and then actually we waste time in the long run having to correct all the typos.

hi tigeraunt When I read that my friends here are so busy and wi sh they had nmore time to mylot I sort of feel guilty but still at 86 i guess I have earned my right to sit back. But I did work till I was almost 80. So many older people here in California are working way past retirement age, simply because their social security checks are just not enough to counter the higher cost of living.

hi tigeraunt I have not seen you here lately.Glad you areback here. I also wish we had an edit button to use after we hit post as thats when some of my worst typos show up like a word that makes the whole sentence wrong.lo Merry Christmas and a really wonderful New Year.

yes maam. kind of very busy with work lately. there are too many reports required and i am deprived of my past time. lol! a merry christmas to you too.

hi inertia I also have spelling checker on myh firefox browser too. S o I just need to edit and not post til I have edited and cleaned it all u p again.

hi inertia that is an option as you can get it the way you want it tut its all so time consuming and I would rather just type as I go and clean it up before hitting post. lol

Another option to do is to write them down in a document somewhere. Then once it is all the way you want it, cut it and paste it into MyLot. I just rather come here and type as I go.

thats it is it not, getting hung up on the stress I feel instead of focusing on what I am doing and do it correctly. I am going to try to ignore the stress and work on correcting my focujs on my work here.

hi danishcanadian Maybe t hen I should not envy those with iphones as so many people complain about using them to get on mylot.That' does not sound like fun to me either. I found out from my computer savvy son that some of my typos problem may be I was using too small a font size as I have a cataract in my left ey e so my right ey e is the only one really seeing well. The fonr size has made a big difference to me since yesterday Christmas day when I made a dismal 34 cents. But it was Christmas and my son was visiting me so thats okay. Everyone needs some family on Christmas day so what if I did not earn much, I can make it up.

hi dawn gosh I love you haha You are so right and one day you must write Dawn's Truisms. Not sure if thats a valid word but yo u will get my meaning.Yes at times I think my fingers are dyslexic even if I am not.I had a coworker at the Library who was dyslexic and was always giving me little presents but she almost always put them in the wrong locker. S he could not work on the adult side as her shelving books was a disaster so they put her on the kids side doing the picture books but still she got confused and started shelving in the grade school shelves and that did it. S he got fired as I hgad to redo her work on top of my own. lol

okay once more lost all my comment grrr. yes as I do snaack at the keyboard I bet it does need cleaning.I once accidentally spilled a glass of w ter on part of my keyboard and my son bawled me out royally.Bt when later I went into his room to hand him his mail, he bumped a large coke and it spilled all over his keyboard. I laughed and said"yes you are also old enough to know better than that. What a mess." He frowned then laughed too.I am going to clean mine ou t in the morning. Its already dark here at just a little after 6 p.m.

hi celticeagle I also have a makeup brush I have never used so its clean, Tomorrow i am going to do some cleaning and hope it does help as it has not been done in ages.

I got a brush from my last job that really helps. You can get underneath the letters and it really helps to clean it.

hi akp thanks as I feel bettrer knowing others can have the same problems. I am trying hard to always edit before I post and when I do my post looks good but when I don't I get really ashamed of my post as I have so many typos and none are fixed eithr.I do hope that others can read mine that are not corrected.

hi stary 1 yes I have found myself doing that and making sure I hit preview and edit as I have a spelling checker that saves my neck if I just really edit.But like others I will still miss typos til after I hit post. I can correct with a comment but it makes me feel really imperfect.I think my problem is stress and wanting to type faster than I can. lol

high pointless Questions yes I guess it soes.. I got what you meant with Chow but am not sure of the spelling..I touch type but sometimes I get one hand a key off and oh my gosh a whole sentence of gibberish.I never look at the keyboard as I learned to type by hand position on blank keys in high school a life time away. lol Let me look up how to spell chow. lol

hi its Ciao just reversed from what you had or else I forgot on myh way back here Leet me check again as I might be wrong.

Here's a mistake, I think. Chow should be Caio. The first is food and the second is a greeting.

hi echoforever I got some extr a sleep and got all unstressed so am doing much better today. I also told my self do not dwell on past mistakes but just have some fun here today.So far I have been fine and relaxed and having fun too. After all thats why Iam on my lot to have fun and earn a l ittle too.

hi echoforever Yes when I feel relaxed I do not make any errors but I am typing slower too but I can type fast but thats when I start making errors too. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Yeat

Yp that is why I am here too. Its not good to dwell on mistakes whether in myLot or elsewhere, its good you are letting those pass.

hi welcome to mylot Nursefrai are you a nurse? I was a nurses aide for many years so now even when I have to go to the hospital for an illness I d o feel at home. Yes really the message is the most important part of a discussion l just got a response that was so ]odd I did not even know thow to answer it. Just a combination 'of mised up letters and a number.I hated to do it bu t I reported it as it seemed to me to be a stupid joke.I mentioned this ' because of your comment about being a smartass. That response fitted the term to a t.

hi nursefrai Merry Christmas I think you probably responded then commented a few times on the same discussion so only the response will be counted on that number but yet it all goes down to your earning algorithm in that every thing you type will earn you. So the count beside your name is merely an activity count as everything you comment or respond to will earn you money.I often find myself commenting maybe ten times in one discussion and only the first comment is counted yet I do get paid for every comment and response I make. pretty neat getting paid for having f un.

Thanks, and yeah, I just started answering forums yesterday, I don't understand though why the number beside my name is still 18, I've answered a ton of forums, it's fine though because I'm having so much fun and I enjoy speaking my mind. Yes I am a nurse, I'm only a fresh graduate though. That's really a cool story about one of the responses. I'm glad I'm quite relevant with this. Thank you for valuing my response :)

hi scorpio I am in Southern California and its been freezing all day even in our room. My fingers felt stiff while typing and even hurt some. Some mornings I have just crawled back in bed. My mind often goes faster than my keys and I find the first letter of the next word stuck on the last word I typed. What I find myself doing is forgetting to Capitalize the I's which makes my work look childish.I have gone to using preview and edit as in the long run it does save time because I have it all corrected before I hit post.

I miss having my laptop-on those days that it was too cold to get up, I'd just fire it up and stay cozy in bed. Now I'm forced to go to the living room and freeze to get my myLot fix! Glad you're taking a moment to use the preview feature-I should, but I'm impatient!

gu scorpiobabes I did go back t o bed this morning as its just freezing in here. Still cold in here but the sun is out ans maybe it will warm up by afternoon here in Garden Grove maybe. lol

Yeah... well, my family has already done Christmas and my sister has gone home to Tennessee... I've got gifts made, but I'm ready for it to be over...

hi ElicBxn WE had our Christmas party here yesterday and we are still alive today so the doomsayers need to think that one over. lol.I am awaiting a gift of' money and if I get it before Christmas I will just split it with my son as its too late to order any thing on line now. I wish just once we would celebrate a hoikday here on the holiday.

hi ElicBxn lol I do have firefox and if I use preview and then edit I am fine but at times I miss some when I just hit post thinking I have got them all.So I have no excuses as my spelling checker does a good job as long as I really slow down to check 'for the red lined words. lol I am doing better today as I feel rested and ready to mylot.Merry Christmas .For me Christmas is coming too soon.

And Merry Christmas to you and yours too Hatley. _Derek

And Merry Christmas to you and yours too Hatley. _Derek

hi derek thats the best advice yet and I am heeding it as I found when I got upset over the typing mess I kept making more and more errors. Now today I am rested, relaxed and not stressed out.So perhaps it will all go very smoothly for me. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Here Its cold but the sun is shining and that makes it good for me.

hi Artemis Yess mine was yesterday as I think I did not sleep enough and was cold ,tired and sleepy all day.Yes I do not w ant to fall ill . So far I have not had even cold, and did not have flu or bronchitis either so am hoping to stay well this winter.Last winter I sp;ent most of the winter being ill. I am going to g et a nap this morniung then come here rested and relaxed too so I can type and be error free.

thanks artemeis yes you are so right. I am diabetic and everytime I see my doctor he says "drink more water please." So I have two cup mug of water sitting here on my desk out of which I sip as in cold weather I am not so ingto drinking water as I should be.Yestedrday I seemed to be running on fumes as when I went back to bed I go one hours sleep and wa s called down to be weighed.So in the afternoon I fell 'asleep here at my desk and went and lied down again.And was w oke again by my gbest friend coming to see me with Christmas gifts So we sat and chatted for a long time.so this morning I was not surprised my earnings for yesterday were a dismal 45 cents lol lol. But I did get a good mights sleep as we got a heater for our room yesterday.' s

Like the signs of a cellphone running on low bat that needs to be charged, our bodies will give out signals to your brain and cause you to react. You will need to heed it or you will need to heed the doctor and his invasive medications. Take a good rest and drink plenty of warm water. Water hydrates and more importantly, clears your body's accumulated toxins. Take good care of yourself.

hi wilsongoddard Yes I figured the stress I have with not having enough money and its almost Christmas is carrying over into my typing. I love mylotting but hate the errors I make.The one that really bothered mw was misspelling discussions in the title of my discussion.Don't you just hate it ehen you do not see the error until after you hit post? I saw an article sometime back about real tiny homes and I do not remember where I aw it.It was really intriguing too.

hi again you know the last 2 bedroom apt we rented at double the price we had paid in our old apartment. It had a nice garden setting okay but there were things really wrong. For one thing they had a furnace that made hissing noises and belched out the most awful smell. the repair m an said to me that he could not repair that furnace as cheaply as he could put in a new unit.He told uss not to use it as it was dangerous.So when my son got laid off his job the owner was only to quick to evict us not even letting myh son have a chance to find a n=ew job. The otrher pain in the neck was the parking. People had parking areas up against our bedrooms so when they revved up an old car it filled my bedroom with exhaust fumes.I had to more than once tell someone they were filling my bedroom with noxious fumes. I think for one person or even two a small house might be perfect.

I've talked about them before--both on here and elsewhere. I've again come back around to really thinking about one, because I am yet again in a housing situation where I am not truly feeling settled. I'd thought that this rental was "it," but it has been turning more into a headache than anything else.

hi n amiya yes it does happen to me when I just type and post but if I do hit preview and edit then I can often avoid the errors altogether. lol Its cold in here and that makes my fingers a bit clumsy to day.

hi Namiya I too have previewed and still missed an error. guess it just proves we are humams amd humans do make mistakes. ll

sometimes I already previewed it but still failed to see my mistake
