When typing, how many of us have to look at the keys ?
No, that is something I learned in high school typing....if I look I get messed up.....my fingers find the right keys automatically.....HOWEVER....I do notice a little dyslexic letter reversal occurs in my typing as I get older.
If you notice a "Typo" do you backspace erasing everything to the "oops" and start over or Just click on the "opps" and fix it ?
It must "depend".....on what I dont know....but I have been known to do both. I remember learning to type on a manual typewriter and up through colllege using a manual typewriter....making corrections was very time consuming and messy.... you had to unlock the carriage and pull the paper up to do an erasure and then lining it back up was almost impossible. White-out seemed like as far as innovation could take us.....who would have thought of back space and delete or copy and paste features.
Just for Fun:
What is your favorite appetizer(s) ? Hot crab dip; those chicken livers wrapped in bacon; assorted cheeses and crackers

Then I go back to make corrections. If it's one word, I may backspace and erase. However, I like highlighting things and then make corrections from there.
Just for Fun:

Make Your Own Luck Day I'll try my best!
Toilet Paper Day I will probably use some today, for sure
What was the last thing that had you saying
"You have got to be kidding" ?
That would likely have been during a conversation I had this past weekend with the college kid. He had gone on a road trip with a couple of his fraternity brothers and was describing some of the fun they had together..... This would also qualify as the most recent TMI moment I've had!
Bonus Question:

Which do you prefer
1ply ?

2-ply
Anyone remember when they had the different color TP ?
Yes, I remember it. My mom always tried to find lavender to go with her bathroom colors, but had to settle for pale blue.
Did you ever buy it for your home ?
Nope, I'm not that obsessive about home decorating to ever have worried about whether the TP matches the towels and the curtains. No Martha Stewart pretensions here!
Extra Credit Question:
When typing, how many of us have to look at the keys ?
Not I. I haven't had to do that for decades.
If you notice a "Typo" do you backspace erasing everything to the "oops" and start over
or
Just click on the "oops" and fix it ?
It depends on where it is and how big it is. If I find a misspelled word a ways back, I'll usually just click on it and correct it, but if the error is just a few characters back from where I'm typing, I'll backspace and correct it that way.
Just for Fun:
What is your favorite appetizer(s) ?
I'm not all that into appetizers, to be honest. My appetite has never needed any help to get going!
What was the last thing that had you saying
"You have got to be kidding" ? I seem to say this often, so not sure when the last time I said it

If you notice a "Typo" do you backspace erasing everything to the "oops" and start over
or
Just click on the "opps" and fix it ?
if I notice it just a couple of letters back, then I backspace
but it it's a couple of lines back then I just click after the word and backspace and fix it
Just for Fun:
What is your favorite appetizer(s) ? depends on where I'm at and what they have to offer
I can eat just about anything as long as it doesn't have seafood in it
