Noeleena,
Not being able to write or spell does not mean that you are dumb or lacking any intelligence. It just means that you have not learned or mastered those skills. We all go through life learning some skills and not others. My spelling and writing are not perfect and they may be better that yours, however I am sure that there are many things that you have learnt that you can do better than me!
Don’t let others criticism stop you from expressing yourself. I for one can certainly understand what you are writing and you sound like a very nice and sincere person who has deep feelings.
Keep writing and if anyone gives you a hard time – slap ’em with one of your jandles.
Go get them Kiwi,Hugs, Fay

Hi Noeleena,
Yes i agree with Fay, we all master certain fields. I notice Noeleena your good at wood work and the like. I am hopeless in that field, hate being near a hammer – very dangerous, one day I’ll do a serious injury !
I get blanks and for simple words I have to go to spell check often – sometimes i just go blank. Don’t worry what anyone thinks or says Noeleena you have made me feel welcome in chat and sound a sincere person. Good post girl and all the best to you.
Hugs

Noeleena,
Stick with it please! How dare people have a go at you because your way of expressing yourself. You are expressing yourself in a sincere, heartfelt manner, you say what you feel and trust me, there are those who either cannot or will not. As everyone else says, you are a sincere person who is active in chats and there are probably more than a few who would do well to use you as an example.
I sent a private E-Mail to you earlier and it reflects the comments and feelings of Fay, Melanie and Vampi!
Keep going Noeleena you have a lot of support.
Hugs

Hi Noeleena,
I’m really sorry to hear about the dyslexia, and to be honest I hadn’t noticed in chat.
I think your chats and humour are great.
Examples of other people with dyslexia would be Jonny cash, Henry Winkler, and Tom cruize.
None of them are lacking intellectualy. They just can’t read.
All of them have played acting parts in film by memorising their parts.
I could never do that.
Kudos to them and to yourself for making it in your field of endeavour.
cheers,

Hey Noeleena,
I have always been able to understand what you have posted. I would not worry if your punctuation & grammer are not perfect. That sort of thing is only of concern to Grammer Nazis. The rest of us are quite happy and understand what you say – its the triumph of substance over form

Noeleena, I’m not sure why you feel the need to apologise for this, we love you just as you are.

Hana.

hey Noeleena, geez, I’m the typo queen of the chat room, I’m seriously dyslexic too. I’ve read one book in my adlut life and it took ages. Audio books are my friends now, they make great driving companions and help me through the long days working alone too (I’m an illustrator) I have to saay thaat chat rooms and forums have improved my spelling no end, I used to just write gooble de gook…. and still do
So chin up lovie, we are an odd bunch but we can sure support each other.

For those who are dyslexic here is some thing to try.
Try writing only with the left hand if you are right handed.
When I Write with the left hand it looks and sounds like a different person.
Left:Right brain: poetic-feely-emotional
Right: Left brain: Objective-technical-logical.Try letting your left hand write anything without trying, event try tapping with your right hand to distract the left brain. What comes out may amaze you.
keep smile

I suffer from scotopic dyslexia (light sensitivity) so I feel your pain. Don’t let people get to you, and keep your head up high.
Take care,
Michelle
