So glad to see you back Nette. I truly understand the scoliosis and not being able to do things. I had the cast, braces and surgery to correct it years ago but still suffer with back aches and neck problems. I was doing to much time on the computer so cut back drastically and understand. I hope you were able to find relief. Sending prayers your way. Hugs love phyl

You are a calming presence, Nette, and it is much needed these days, (you missed some truly horrid and negative stuff here) ... always happy to see a friendly face return, and I am particularly fond of Asian eyes, (just wrote about it!). I will check out the contest ... I saw my buddy Andrea's post below - I went away to prep school and they did NOT teach typing, so I never got it, while my siblings DID - I STILL type with just TWO fingers, but I'll wager I'm one of the fastest two-finger typists around, lol ... I started early in the family pharmacy, typing RX labels at age ten, lol! Blessings, Friend - I'm glad you're back! :o) <3 (Here's an even longer piece on the oriental ocular subject you might like - https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/eyes_of_the_orient_896347 )

ha, I just read your bio and saw you claim to fame. For me the opposite. Best thing high school taught me was to type fast!

I had to take it for two semesters before it "kicked in" for me. Honestly, no other class really taught me a skill of practical use except for that one!! And my creative writing instilled love of writing in me.

typing was the only elective i gave up on in school.. really bad at it, yipes! :}

oh nette, I was wondering what had become of you and I think I soupmailed you. I remember now that you told me of this painful condition you have. Are you at least feeling a lot better now? It's so nice to see you again and doing a contest and this blog. Welcome back!

I'm so glad you're back, Nette:-) I definitely felt your absence. I was wondering what happened to you..if you left because of disillusionment considering we've lost some really fine poets because got fed-up with Poetrysoup! I'm glad I assumed wrong. Again, welcome back! You're one of my all-time favorites here. I'm glad you're feeling better. *Hugs*
