[BlindTlk] House Cleaning

Tue Jul 20 17:39:39 UTC 2021

Don’t worry about it. I probably read it too fast. Sometimes I get bombarded with emails and can’t keep things straight either. I think it happens to all of us at sometime or another. I’m just glad you’re here!

I suck at technology. Sometimes whether you type or dictate it doesn’t come out the way you want it anyhow. And I’m certainly guilty of not correcting dictators. Since I moved my phone has been doing more and more dictate errors lately. perhaps my phone doesn’t like the move. :-)
