I'm quicker than most with a lot of things (like ejaculation), but very slow when it comes to typing and reading. I was trained to touch type, but cannot get over 45 wpm or so. I read very slowly, too, but I retain 90%+ of it even years afterward. I think its a pretty good trade off...

I'm kind of like you but half as retarded. My space bar has been missing for over a year. My Pinky is callused over even though I think it's a strong point(haha)
Teach me in your ways.
I am twice as retarded but, I can play the trombone.

I use a phone or tablet more than a computer now a days. I'm out of practice. When on a computer it takes me a bit to get back into pace. I can do about 60-70 words per minute.

I took keyboarding 1 and 2. There was a good program for windows back in the day. I reckon its still available. Mavis Beacon teaches typing.

I was 65 wpm corrected my freshman year by the end of typing 1, but didn’t last long into typing 2 because it was the same period as one of the two lunch periods, so I didn’t show up. Having 2 lunch periods was fucked up. How the fuck are you not going to want to hang out with your friends that have the lunch period other than the one you have. Wtf.

We were taught in middle school in a mandatory typing class with blacked out keys on old school classic typewriters.

Anybody who pm’s with me here prob doesn’t believe i still can actually type pretty good on a real keyboard because i fuck shit up typing away on my phone keyboard. i got some fat ass fingers and you can’t correct what you post on pm’s :-(

I have to proof read stuff I type with my phone because of my fat thumbs.

I had to buy some sharpies last week, first time in probably 10 years because of the stockpile I had. I gotta get another job for the fringe benefits.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to take a black Sharpie home. My tomato and pepper sprouts are coming up, and the labels are really hard to read already after only two weeks in the sun and rain. Hab's or Mini Sweet's. No big deal right?

I went through a writing period a while back. I hammered out 7 1/2 piss poor novels in about 4 years. I got good at typing, if not writing. It's slowly fading, but I rarely look at the keys as I'm typing. I do make more mistakes now, as I'm usually in a hurry.

But I know about all there is to know about East Frisia in late fall, early winter of 1717-18, and Northern Carolina in the summer of 1718.

I wrote some sketch comedy in HS for the drama club that I was in. 2 years before 2nd City and 4 years before SNL.

It went over pretty well, we sold lots of tix, everybody laughed.

Our teacher censored some of my best stuff, I had one girl playing a character 'Veronica Gazelle' with balloons to enhance her breasts, but that was a no go in 1971.

Bummer. Wrecked my needle popping part.

Amateur mistake.. The sharpie will fade and wash off in the sun.,...
An ordinary pencil label will be readable for years. Even on those plastic plant tags you can use pencil.

Yep. I tend to slide them under the dirt but didn't do that. I've got to do new cups for all the sprouts or reuse old ones. Maybe the thrift stores won't mind if I give them a bunch of cherry tomatoes in cups with something like #7RB X TPD written on them.
