This blog is not new but it is new to the MS blogging community. Who wants to alienate themselves from a much-needed platform? Not I. Sometimes I read and re-read someone’s post but because I have become wary of my own abilities, I do not comment much for fear of making an arse out of myself. My comprehension skills are in the toilet.
When I was in high school, I was not much of a joiner. I did belong to the choir, a couple of local baseball teams and our church music group performed a lot in the community but other than that, I was kind of a loner. I had friends in each of the typical high school cliques and a few of us nerds hung together mostly for self-preservation :).
Then there is the problem of coming up with the right terminology. While I usually know what I am trying to say, what the meaning of something is, I cannot always recall the terms, the vocabulary words themselves. Somewhat silly since I am the one trying to express myself. So, I find myself meaning one thing and after writing it realizing that something totally, different came out and it is misunderstood. Ah!
I am wondering if this is causing some of my misunderstandings when trying to communicate with Dr.’s. DUH
So, if you are reading this have mercy on me and drop a comment or two my way – and I will do my best to visit your blog and formulate something that might pass for an intelligent comment.
Jan – I, too, often read posts and react to them, but don’t always post a comment. I read all your posts and enjoy them. Keep posting. Even loners do need to make connections! 🙂
Cranky,
I guess I am becoming a loner emm . … never have been a wear my feelings on my sleeve type but yea my social life is in the tubes right now umph..
KRP is the one who has always been the social butterfly.

Comment! Comment!! Please do comment!!!
I often get the – can’t think of the right word, what was I trying to say, and how is that word spelled, it just looks wrong. All of this thinking and questioning takes up time and energy. And sometimes (most of the time), I don’t leave the comment.
I used to be pretty smart, but now I feel like one of the average (or below) folks. Maybe it’s just the way I feel and not the way it truly is. So hard to tell sometimes.
You’ll never be an “arse” in my eyes, especially since we share the “nerd” connection. I was in the band clique and not really all that social within the group. Too much of a music/math nerd, even for band. LOL
I agree with Cranky – even loners need connections!!
(now to be transparent, and hopefully funny. When I was typing “loners” just above what came out first was “losers”. Do you suppose that means anything? or is MS just playing with my eyes and fingers again? This type of thing happens ALOT.) Haha
Lisa,
Nerds ROCK!
I too wonder if I am loosing intelligence quotient points. One should not have to work this hard to comprehend and comment.
At least when writing you can catch the boo boo and correct it. I was at a dog park committee meeting and was trying to say twit and said twat – talk about embarrassing – never did go back to another meeting . …
Jan
Glad to find you!
