2006-09-17 [moira hawthorne]: well in a way you are dyslexic by chance... its chance that the genes at your conception made you dyslexic!

2006-09-17 [5thwitch]: :D

2006-09-18 [Kuehne]: you know.. when i was a kid i was dyslexic.. but they worked with me until i could read and write correctly.. so i don't know if i'm techincally dyslexic or not. Do you, at some point, become cured of dyslexicia or do you just learn to live with it?

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: learn to live with it... but as you say if you get training to compensate... you can learn to over come it... there really isnt a cure.. its just the way your brain is wired.. but with enough practice its like a muscle... you train it to work around the problem... but i know the more tired I am mentally or emotionally upset the worse my dylexicia gets again

2006-09-18 [Kuehne]: you know that might be true.. dylexicia hits me when i get really tired.

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: know a guy on here... has terrible writing.. and it really is terrible... like every word spelt wrong... the whole sentence backwards... his excuse Im dyslexic... and even tho he first language IS english! b/c he dyslexic he thinks he doesnt even have to try to check his typing... everyone else is suppose to grit their teeth and put up with it... and its so bad I cant even read it.. none of his friends can...

2006-09-18 [5thwitch]: Infact! I know that when I'm tired I do mistakes so, I try to correct sentences reading them 2times but sometimes I'm so tired that I miss them,so I turn back to my sentences the day after to control them.

2006-09-18 [Kuehne]: hmm.. i wonder if more creative people who use the left side of their brain have a problem with dyslexia moreso than right brain people (did i get the right/left thing right? sometimes i get that mixed up)

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: trying is what matters...
even if you arent dyslexic anyone can make typos...
just dyslexic people normally know they will make more so try harder to stop them...

you know the one I really hate... I leave the negative off verbs... so when im trying to type... "Dont worry it doesnt bother me... Im not upset." ... it will come out as "Dont worry it does bother me... Im not upset." or "Dont worry it does bother me... I am upset." and its not spelt wrong... so spell check doesnt work.. and reading it over doesnt work...
[and this typo has terrible mismeaning!]

I also do stuff like substuite one word for another... or and are

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: right brain is the creative side... left is logic side...
think of it as a fancy swirly R and L for logic

2006-09-18 [Yuriona]: That's why I tell people I'm always in my right mind. Being left handed, my right brain is dominant. ;) Of course, it also means that most logical people just don't understand my way of thinking. LOL!

2006-09-18 [Kyrinn]: Imnot sure which side of my brain is dominant. Im not really a logical person and Im severely right handed.. O.o Physics eludes me but Im gifted musically. I feel at times that Im not creative but at my job I have to do a gazillion "creative" graphic thingies, lol..

2006-09-18 [Yuriona]: Oh being right handed your left brain is dominant. :p But you don't have to be right brain dominant to be creative and stuff. There are more parts to the brain than just 'left' and 'right'. ^_^

2006-09-18 [Cia_mar]: my mom is left handed an had a towel that had the quote "The right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the brain and the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, therefore...Left handed people are the only ones who are in their right mind!"

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: hehehe...

resent scientic studies are saying that the most creative people are those with the most connextion between the two sides... and its not the right side that is creative... tho there are differences in the two sides... like the control of the body... or such... and the two sides are not mirror images of each other.. ... in other words no one knows yet for sure how the brain works

2006-09-18 [Cia_mar]: lol... though those who are more analitical and detailed are stronger on one side than the person who is abstract ... i just forget which side it is... ( can you tell which side i am NOT strongest on????  :P )

2006-09-18 [moira hawthorne]: abstract is right.. also visual learning.. and someone touch feely fuzzy scientic stuff

analitical (those number stuff) is left

2006-09-18 [Cia_mar]: no numbers for me thank you!!

2006-09-18 [Kyrinn]: My dad had a coffee mug for his office that said "Hire a lefty, its fun to watch them write!" lol My dad is left handed. ^^

I thought this was funny: My dad is a lefty, my mom is right handed, then there is my eldest brother who is left handed, the middle brother can write with both hands, and then me, right handed. ^^

2006-09-18 [Cia_mar]: i am a righty.. my mom a lefty and my dad a righty!

2006-09-18 [Kyrinn]: the only thing my left hand can do is hold my viola and finger it correctly. I cant write with it, I can do much of anything with it, accept play my viola an dtype, lol
