Mom is completely that way. if she doesn't know what word she wants she'll make one up to fit. sometimes they're really funny and we get a lot of laughts. recently she went as far as buying anew dictionary. most the time she just asks me and if i'm sure i'll tell her and otherwise i'll look it up for her. it's faster for me to type than to dig the book out of the drawer where she's got it hidden or pull the one i have off the shelf.

dyslexia presents challenges to both of us too. when i do anything important with numbers i check it all about four times to be sure.

As I've aged, I'm shorter than I was 50 years ago. I told my doctor, “You have to help me; I think I’m shrinking.”

😳

“Now settle down,” the doctor said calmly. “You’re just going to have to be a little patient.”

Nathaniel Hawthorn — I gaze upon it; my soul shall drink its radiance; it shall be diffused throughout my intellectual powers, and gleam brightly in every line of poesy that I indite.

Indite is pronounced the same as indict. Originally, they were the same word. Much more common these days than indite is its synonym: write.

Not to brag about how I handle my finances, but

My credit card company calls everyday and leaves me a phone message telling me that my balance is outstanding!
