Nobody Knows that “Nobody’s Perfect” :Dyslexia

Nobody Knows

Many of you may have noticed that a few posts ago, the headline said:

Nobody Reprots:

LOL! Okay, I really feel bad about this, but it’s time to fess up. I suffer from visual dyslexia, so I feel I owe my readers a…warning, one that I hope you’ll help me out with.

Most of the time spell check catches my mistakes, but, while I’m reading over what I’ve written, right after I’ve written it, if I come to a word that I’ve misspelled, my brain doesn’t catch it right away. That’s why when I looked at Reprots…it looked right to me. I KNOW how to spell it of course, but my “eyes” don’t—even when I look at it a second or third time. It’s hard for people to believe, (unless you have dyslexia too) that I don’t catch the mistake. My brain has actually already registered it as okay.  

This happens more when I type fast…for instance— I almost always spell ‘own’…’nwo’. It’s the little words give me the biggest trouble.”Saw” becomes “was.” ‘Boy’ becomes ‘yob.’  ‘On is always no.’ -‘ One’ is always ‘eno.’  And i is never before e…it’s always e before i. That’s a big one. Beleive…is the first thing that comes out of my fingers every single time.  In fact, I wish they would just change the spelling and save me some time.
****
Luckily, I had a wonderful red-headed teacher in the first grade who wrote to my parents when she realized I was having trouble reading, and in four one-hour sessions, she taught me how to read. She actually created a monster because I’ve been reading ever since..but my spelling has always given me trouble. Not the big words…the little, most important ones.
****
I was feeling pretty bad about this today, when my good friend and mentor Doug Powers (See Doug’s great work at his blogsite: The Powers That Be) saw the mistake and pointed it out to me. So, I started wondering today if dyslexia was considered some type of brain damage. I must admit, I’ve never given it much thought, because frankly, I put myself down enough. I didn’t need another excuse to berate myself every time I typed a word wrong.

So I told myself…good god woman, go look it up. So, I Googled it.

GOOD news: Lots of people suffered from dyslexia! Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Michael Faradey, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo da Vinci, Ansel Adams, Tommy Hilfinger, Henry Ford, William Hewlett, Charles Schwab, Ted Turner, Frank W. Woolworth, Henry Winkler, Orlando Bloom, Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg, Keanu Reeves, Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, George Patton, Stonewall Jackson, Cher, and John Lennon. They all suffered from ti.

(I purposely Left “ti” in — so that you can see how easy it is for me..ti..should be it. Sometimes I catch myself, sometimes I don’t.

Now…if you, my dear readers catch me misspelling words or spelling words backwards, feel free to point it out to me…I would be grateful and ever so thankful, because the more I become aware of it, hopefully the better I will be at ‘taming’ my brain into thinking that what it thinks it’s ‘seeing’ is not real.

Don’t worry about making me feel bad…you know…and I know.. that Nobody’s Perfect!

Right? Right. Besides, I can tell myself every time I screw up…that even Einstein couldn’t get all the words right. (not that he HAD to) And I also think that Picasso drew that picture of me at the top. That’s really me.  That’s exactly the look on my face when I am trying to figure out if I misspelled the word:..eyb. (bye)

Has Jimmy Carter Moved to Spain?

Nobody Wonders—

Is the election already in the bag?

Perhaps Obama had reason to believe so  when he said “after my election” rather than “in case of” to Russian President Medvedev a week ago.

Why should we wonder?

Because the  CEO of SKYTL, Pere Valles,  a socialist who donated heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign and lived in Chicago during Obama’s time as Illinois State Senator, will be counting our ballots.  He used to be VP and Chief Financial officer of GlobalNET, a NASDAQ publicly traded telecommunications company headquartered in Chicago.

When the Spanish online voting company SKYTL bought the largest vote processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa based corporation purchased by SKYTL in January, supplies the election software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26 states–900 total jurisdictions–across the nation. And although the votes will be cast in hometown, American precincts on Election Day, with the Barcelona-based SKYTL taking charge of the process, they will be routed and counted overseas.

Oh gee…that’s comforting, isn’t it? Not only will they be controlling the votes of our military overseas, they will also control our elections. Our Congress voted for letting this “overseas” operation control our election, and it gets better: the system is hackable. It’s already been hacked by a Computer Teacher. Upon opening the system for the use in the District of Columbia, the University of Michigan’s fight song “The Victors” was suddenly heard after the casting of each ballot.  It was easy.

And that’s not all:

In spite of warnings by experts across the nation, American soldiers overseas will once again vote via the internet in 2012. And because SKYTL will control the method of voting and—thanks to the purchase of SOE–the method of counting the votes as well, there “…will be no ballots, no physical evidence, no way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes…or the count.”

The American advocacy group Project Vote has concluded that SKYTL’s internet voting system is vulnerable to attack from the outside AND the inside, a situation which could result in “…an election that does not accurately reflect the will of the voters…”

Mmmmm….didn’t Michelle take a very lavish vacation to Spain in 2010? While White House spokesman Gibbs said,  “The first lady is on a private trip. She is a private citizen and is the mother of a daughter on a private trip. And I think I’d leave it at that,” she did an awful lot of political stuff while she was there. She took Anita Blanchard, who is married to Marty Nesbitt the treasurer of Obama’s campaign fund with her. This was after he was in office.

Another thing Michelle did on that trip was endorse the “Cordoba Initiative.” Remember it was the Cordoba Intitiative that tried to put the Mosque on Ground Zero.

The Cordoba Initiative’s stated mission is “to achieve a tipping point in Muslim-West relations within the next decade, bringing back” the conditions of Cordoba during the period of Muslim domination, when they “coexisted” with Christians and Jews who lived in a condition of peace.

It wasn’t peaceful at all. The Muslims went by Sharia law and everyone else was second class. We didn’t hear about Michelle’s ‘endorsement’ here, did we?

Sometimes Nobody Wonders: Who have all our politicians been selling us out to? Who really owns us…The Chinese or the Muslims? One owns our debt, the other owns our Presidents. Where do we fit in?

Once again: All it will take is a few adjustments and Obama will win…he has a friend on the inside, who’s outside our jurisdiction. We vote ‘globally’ now. Do you trust this system? I don’t. We’d be better off if Jimmy Carter was running it…wait…I take that back. Jimmy Carter is probably already in Barcelona.

No Wonder they say Obama is leading in the polls. Maybe everyone in the media already knows it’s a done deal.

I hope not, but Nobody Wonders.
