I knew my alphabet in kindergarten, but didn't really understand how letters could combine to form words til I was almost 6. My problem was due to the whole "read out loud" thing. Brain just refused to cooperate and I'd trip over the words. It wasn't til the middle of 1st grade when they sent me to speech therapy for a lisp that we discovered I was a natural speed-reader. My mouth just couldn't keep up with my eyes and I'd stumble and get confused. Once they allowed me to *not* read out loud, I had no trouble learning to read at all.
I ended up in accelerated reading classes and thrived.
Thanks Dew! Sorry to hear about your computer problems. Whenever I have a computer problem, I just look at it and say "Bless your little heart" and viola! it works.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that my friend from Texas has been mocking me in a secret way with that phrase...
Ahhh, so I've successfully made you paranoid about motives with regard to that phrase. My evil plan is working.
Don't worry, your friend may mean it most sincerely. Anonchick's story is testament to the fact that it's not always used in an appropriately inappropriate manner.

Living in the belly of the beast, so to speak, there are many people here that do indeed use it sincerely.
OK it's working. For now. I don't know why these things always happen to me. All I want is one day when I don't have any problems and I know what to wear. But my computer is always picking on me. I'm going to eat an Eskimo pie. Unless my brother ate them all because I only have a two hour window for Eskimo Pie eating. Bless your hearts and weiner. Weiner, weiner, weiner.
All I want is one day when I don't have any problems and I know what to wear.
Funny you should say that, while at my kids school this morning it struck me how many moms were wearing pajama bottoms. While I am no fashion icon, and jeans and a t-shirt are my daily uniform, I draw the line at going out in pj's. I know it's somewhat of a trend for teen girls, but these weren't exactly teens. Do any of you guys go out in pj's? Maybe I'm just aging rapidly!

No PJ's in public but definitely yoga pants. I could live in those. My jeans are a little (ahem) tight, and not very comfy right now. I see a lot of moms in workout wear here, but not pajama bottoms.
