I might have missed part of the story. 

 

VJ is only a small slice of someone's life, that they choose to share. Read through our own filter. Sometimes far, far, from  the real individual, I'm afraid...

*Len*  was a female. I think her last username was Chicayeye, not sure if I spelled it correctly. Steven was Jabbereocky, Mr. Fancypants and a few others Eric was a legend.

  Is it just me, or was NB a better speller back then?

Well, I do keep reading around here that age does awful things to people's mental abilities.

   I know some of my spelling mistakes are more eye related, especially on the cell phone. Getting the wrong words in general (for me) is more of a mental thing. I don't really mind the mistakes now though. I forget it all by the end of the day anyway.
