Is my terible typing due too Automaticism or Poundland glases?

I have found your glasses make such amusing mistakes I was planning to ask where you got them as I wanted some myself!

Although new eyes might also be useful - where might I get new eyes from? My hands are not so good either, but when I tried a second hand shop they didn't have any.

The ansers to your questions lie with people who ar actualy good at giving advice i.e. everybody exept me.

I think you're good at giving advice but then what do I know?

We could start a you tube channel for snail crafting!

I think I may be able to lend a hand, as there are some equally talented snails that can be found lurking in my garage.

If enough members are interested, I believe all bases will be covered in terms of the skills and know-how required, and I'm sure that we can find a way of navigating around the executive function issues, as it's unlikely to be a problem for everyone all at the same time.

NAS could sell the creative snails in the online NAS shop, and if we get a prime-time advertising slot on national TV, I reckon we could make an absolute fortune. 

Darn, I clearly missed my vocation as a snail seller! I'd evidently have been good at it! I wonder if those talented snails are still there lurking around the post boxes of my old flat...

I'm only an ideas person though, I'd clearly need to recruit other members for all kinds of other business related tasks, not just the witty slogans. Does anyone here *not* have executive function difficulties?

Maybe I *might* be tempted to purchase. Yes, I think you're selling the idea of buying. Perhaps, if you're agreeable, you may consider recruiting other members to launch a business? Perhaps Simon could be responsible for thinking up witty slogans to advertise the snails? 

They do have an inherent image problem I guess. I'll have to be careful with the advertising campaign. Maybe the slime could work as glue though, make the snail trails an artistic feature using glitter? (Not our Glitter, the sparkly stuff in tubes!)

Maybe the shells could be painted pretty colours? And for snail handling the shells are a convenient handle so the slimy bits don't have to be touched - big advantage over slugs!

No offence Triker, but should you ever decide to do that at some point in the future, can I request you don't ask if I would be interested in making a purchase? Scalloped edges, yes. Snails and slime trails, no. 

Everyone! Waheyy!

Maybe I should have collected the snails and bred them to sell to paper crafters for high prices? Missed a trick there! 

Perhaps the snails were just in a creative mood and trying to make the edges of your letters decorative. Some people pay money to buy craft accessories that will create scalloped edges, and the snails were doing that for free.

Um, I'm not a good guesser... King Charles? A shepherd with a shaved dog?

Oh - I know - an optician!!

Guess who I bumped into in specsavers last week!?

I used to live in a flat with an external post box. That made it so easy to ignore the post! Some of it got eaten by snails... not even joking! I mean I don't think they ate a whole letter, but they would nibble the edges and make them frilly.

That's what eye thought!

25p per eye. Bargain.

Oh no, that sounds so difficult! You have more patience than me. I used to be able to touch type, but now with my arthritis I can only use 2 fingers on each hand for typing, but I can still go quite fast. I think I would not bother if I had to go so slow.

Can you try voice recognition software?

I'd hate to not be able to cycle any more. Could you find someone to ride a tandem with, you on the back?

Ironically, they kept sending me appointment-reminder emails...which inadvertently made me stressed because I (stupidly) imagined that they were angry with me. So I stopped openng the mails. Doh.

In all seriousness that makes total sense in my world too. To the extent that I just survived with the reading glasses I had already bought, even though I could now do with stronger ones, so sometimes I double stack them!

I haven't been to an optician for years, although I did ought to. When I first noticed my eyes were not what they once were, I just bought the cheap reading glasses, meaning to eventually get round to trying to go to the optician. But between poor executive function, too many other things to deal with and then covid I have still not been.
