Am I the only klutz?

[Rutey]

Omg, I do it all the time! I post a question or a comment, sometimes very lengthy I might add, and click on return to forum INSTEAD of post. I lose it all and have to start over. Please tell me Im not the only dum-dum out here!

I do it all the time - the longer the post, the more likely. I also will hit "post comment" instead of back to forum.

  I've done it so often I copy it all by highlighting it and doing a ctrl/c before I touch any buttons. I can then paste it all back in when I hit the wrong button.

  Your not alone by far. What I really hate is when I type a long post, which I can do at times, and then hit the post comment button.  After I read through it and suddenly discover that I forgot a word here or there that changes the entire meaning or makes you sound like a dum dum.

Even a"mouse" is good if it helps you "squeak" by!......[Oh, that was soooo bad...don't hold it against me.  I just first found out how I had an extra "roll" option on this mouse that helps with the tremors.  Talk about feeling ridiculous...]

HAHAHAHA! Love the disconvoluted word. That makes a great screen name! Im on my laptop right now, and not very good at typing on it.

Angela, I get frustrated too when I post and it doesnt go through. Once, I didnt think it went through, and I posted twice. That made me really feel dumb.

LOL! .....Coincidentally, I just bought a new mouse for my work computer the other day, talk about klutzy, it's wireless - hyper scroll - laser percision - has little buttons on it so you can go back and forth between web searches without hitting the back button at the top of the page (truly amazing). . .You should see me, I'm like a complete spaz w/it and have gotten all disconvoluted (is that even a word).  I was nervous before I even touched.  BUT, I don't think they were meant for people w/neuro issues. ..lol. . .I read up on it on-line and the engineering in it alone, is more than I ever thought a mouse could be.

In all seriousness though, on the flip side of this, since I had so many fine motor skill issues, couldn't put on jewlery, etc., I'm thinking it might actually be helping me out!  I'm on my old one now at home, and it seems slow to me.   I actually think I've improved! Maybe this mouse is actually training the ol' brain-hand connection - Who'da thunk it!  A new mouse for pete's sake. . .

Just had to share....SL

I do the same thing...that's why I don't have a lot of posts on the forum.  If it doesn't go through the first time (which it often doesn't), it doesn't go through.  I have the most problems on my laptop for some reason, which is where I usually type from.  I'm at work right now, so it's hardly an issue.  Add it to the list of our frustrations.  Angela

You are definitly not the only one.  I have done the same thing many times as well as making horrendous typos.
