Apparently, I seem to piss off a few zoners that I barely know. Is it my lack of communication? Well, I don't know about that but I know I added some of you to msn because you wanted to talk to me. A couple zoners have pointed out that I correct spelling too much and that seems to irritate the blindies who can't help it. Wel mabee u shud get urselvs a dictionary and look up sum uv those stupid mastaikes you make or reed more Braille ensted of relieing on computers and tapes. Now, how's that for a taste of your own medicine, now that's for the people that called me a bitch. If you don't like me, block me why don't you instead of treating me negatively, or just honestly bring up what bugs you about me, like saying "You keep correcting my spelling and it's irritating" for example instead of being sarcastic and calling me a bitch. Silly names and words don't hurt me, but when attitudes go with them, they do.
Aarrrgh! Stormy, captain Stormy that is. Is… is… furious for I am a hearing that folks are a messing around and calling The One I know as Beryl Greenstone a b*tch!!! Aarrrgh!!!! Think it is about time to set sail to that Isle of the Dead for seems it is I recall a Dragon of a Bat of sorts that hmmm, well, now he must be a mighty hungry and these ones that call one of my BEST ever passengers….well at least for awhile… Aarrrgh! Well, feed ‘em to the Dragon! Love Ya Melodica aka as Beryl Greenstone. Connie aka as Stormy
love ya too chicky! I even tried to call ya while in US! :) don't take any notice of that. they're not worth your time obviously. However, we all make mistakes. I don't mind personally if ppl correct my mistakes. I like it mostly cos I know my spelling has gone down hill and it makes me sad. It's cos I don't read much any more, not from choice! :(
No wonder people lose the hied when you insist on behaving like a child having an almighty tantrum..When you have calmed down I suggest you go back and re read this nonsense and I sincerely hope you see it for what it is..Why the hell anyone would want to encourage you in continuing to behave like a spoilt brat, it quite beyond me.
Aarrrgh!!!! Captain Stormy motions to his crew, and a legion of faithful Orcs capture Goblin. Aarrrgh!!!! A messing with me Beryl can be heard of Stormy, who can hear of ones bickering against her from miles upon ocean miles away and in ways unknown to many still yet can signal The Captain, Captain Stormy that is, while stranded in the grips of The Dragon Bat of The Isle of The Dead. Stormy can be heard of his crew to tie him right up in quick fashion and off to the brigs Goblin goes!! Imagine Goblin giving complaint and given he is "deaf" to many ***especially Stormy. Well, crew give him *hand signals ….yeah, you fellows know the ones… Stormy is given to ponder just how many it will take to appease That Dragon Bat in the release of The Beryl now captured and held all these many long months. Aarrrgh!!! Having to do business with a devil, That Dragon Bat but for Stormy… Beryl,'tis worth the battle. Crew! Make certain the weaponry of swords is in excellent repair, sharpened and ready to do battle. Load extra feed for the horses for how long a time this voyage is uncertain but victory is assured! Also need One Wraith, The Kai of great renown on board for it is that souls hang in the balance… Judgment looms.
I don't mindpeople correcting my spelling, so long as they do it in a nice way. I'm sure my spelling has gone downhill a bit, since I'm older, and I don't read braille if I can get out of it, though I still get a few magazines in braille. As for being called theb word, I had never been called that by anyone in my whole life, until I got on accessible chat, and all I did to earn that title was just leave a room when certain individuals came in to a room. I couldn't say anything to them though, because I found out indirectly through other people I talked to, so I couldn't hunt them down and give them a piece of my mind, haha. At the time I was told that, I was like, "who do they think they are? But it gets a bit better, now if someone told me someone else called me that word, I'd say, oh well, whatever. It would still tick me off, but I wouldn't have the overpowering urge to track them down, but if they call me that to my face, I will have a few things to say, though I wouldn't get down on their level by calling them names in return.

As far as correcting spelling, I do it on a semi-regular basis. And I certainly don't mind when others do it for me, because I know I'm not perfect.
Another 1 encouraging the toddler to throw her toys out of the cot..feck! no wonder Melodica has no incentive to changce..
I believe that correcting someone's spelling is fine, as long as yo u don't make them feel like an idiot. And as for the people calling you a bitch? Ignore them; if they prefer to react like spoilt children and behave sarcasticly in response rather than simply telling you what annoys them, than they're not worth worrying about.
Over the years as I have had the pleasure of talking and sharing in conversation with Melodica I have come to appreciate her and her frankness, of speaking up and sharing her thots and in a way that gives a person to think without making them feel like an idiot or stupid. Right now I am not discussing spelling errors rather just ways Melodica has of correcting others for making another a better person if only they will take the time to listen with understanding. I will give a couple of examples. Back a couple of years ago Melodica and I was discussing my Mother’s health/lack of and I mentioned something to the effect of her being “wheelchair bound.” Melodica spoke up, not in public forums but rather privately and said you know your Mother is not bound rather that wheelchair if you think about it is rather her “freedom wheels,” for without that wheelchair she would indeed be bound and confined to a hospital bed but with that wheelchair then she has an amount of freedom. You know when I then thot on those words of Melodica I realized how very right she was and I had to sincerely Thank her for correcting me, for bringing this matter to my consideration. Then another time Melodica has been of help to me is in regards to writing/creative writing. Both Melodica and myself share an enjoyment for writing and back the early part of the year we shared in the writing of a story and this writing was done in a manner of “in character” which was altogether different that what I had previously done. It was also a new form of writing for Franklin, a mutual friend and writer, who was sharing in the storyline. Well a couple of times Melodica would private mail us explaining more of this particular style and we did our best to learn a style that was new to us. Melodica became a teacher to us and her constructive criticisms were valued for it got us into a new way of writing/thinking. In particular Franklin and I were more so “twins” as it were in the sense that we could finish each others sentences and literally write for each other, to be in the character of the other while in character. Time and again Melodica would need to give gentle reminder to stay each in own character. Well, we kept at it and through it Melodica developed I believe a greater patience/tolerance for those of another decade whose understanding in writing was a bit different yet desiring to learn and work with a newer style than we had known. Thank Goodness for Melodica who is willing to help others grow and develop into better persons all around. As Life Flows on, Connie
