Does spelling and formatting effect your first impression?

I know my spelling and formatting of text has gone down the drain since my college days over 20 years ago, probably because in my profession I rarely have to write..

So my question is.. Does a persons writing skills effect your first impression of them when reading posts? and if so in what way?

RE: apology

You don't need to go Wayne all you need to do is loosen up a little.. and I doubt anyone here has a grudge against you. They were only trying to convince you to not be so serious and different people have different ways to do that.. Good Luck to you and keep your head up

RE: MAKING EYE CONTACT...

There are two looks you need to watch out for when making first contact with a women... the get lost look ... and the I want you look .. The trick is knowing which one is which and that can be hard sometimes

RE: Do it again??

Well with the work I do I never got to stay in one place for more then a couple years, having friends but never being anywhere long enough to form deep bonding relationships, when I was younger I thought I had it made, I've lived in 6 different countries and got to see the cultures in their eyes and not as a tourist, but now when I see family's around the Christmas tree or the guy coming home and being greeted by his family I do get a very empty feeling inside..

So if I knew what I do now, back when I was 20, I think I would have done things different.

On the bright side
After this assignment in Holland is finished, I won't have to travel anymore, so I hope it isn't to late to find what I'm missing

RE: joke

There was a father who was very proud of his three daughters.

Every night he took a stroll around the house to make sure
everything was all right.

One night when he was doing his stroll, he could hear laughter
coming from his youngest daughter's room. He stood there for a
while and thought about this, but reached the conclusion that he
could always ask her tomorrow, instead of bothering her at this
time of the night.

When he reached the window of his second daughter, he could hear
her crying. He thought about this too, but ultimately he decided
to ask her tomorrow and continued.

There were no sounds at all coming from his oldest daughter's
room, and he then went to bed, satisfied.

The next day, when they all were gathered around the breakfast
table, he said to his youngest daughter, "I heard you laughing
last night, as I walked past your window. Why was that?"

She answered, "That's because you taught me to laugh when someone
was making me happy."

He then asked his second daughter, "I heard you crying last night,
why was that?"

She answered "That's because you taught me to cry when someone was
hurting me."

He then told his oldest daughter, "I didn't hear anything from
you..."

She said, "That's because you taught me not to talk with my mouth
full."

RE: Five tips for a woman....

RE: my point of view!

RE: polygamy

ohhhhhhh ok I didn't know it was with relatives lol shows ya how informed I am now I understand.. Thanks

RE: polygamy

yes but where is the point of being illegal? If I were to have 5 women living with me of their own free will in a relationship how could they arrest me for it? And just because some self proclaimed preacher were to pop a paper out saying we are married it's worthless.. Don't get me wrong I'm not on their side I'm just wondering about it lol

RE: polygamy

I always wondered about that because if more then one women decided to live in a relationship with a man of their own free will.. What is illegal about it? It's not possible to get legally married to more then one person at a time.. So the marriage that they have is only a piece of worthless paper.... So where is the law broken?

RE: polygamy

PMS, mood swings, and the look ya get when you want to have a beer with the guys, times 2 or 5 nooooooooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyy

The positive only thread

Miracle Tree


GAMBIA - The Neem Tree grows in abundance throughout Asia and Africa. It has a remarkable number of uses that, for centuries, have provided villagers in India with a myriad resource. Referred to locally as "the village pharmacy", the Neem's bark, leaves, flowers, seeds and fruit pulp can all be used to treat a range of diseases such as leprosy, diabetes, ulcers and skin disorders.

It can also be used as protection against malaria and as a natural pesticide, effective against about 200 insects, including locusts, Colorado beetles and boll weevils. In Gambia, although surrounded by neem trees, villagers have little knowledge of its potential, according to Sandi Bellaart, UK environmentalist.

She is currently fundraising to set up an information centre where they can receive training in how to utilise its benefits. She also wants to work with school children to teach them about taking care of the trees throughout their seven year growth to maturity. "The aim is to gather and document the
understanding they have, then to offer the knowledge gathered from the 5,000 years of use in India," says Sandi.

"The result is to empower people by giving them access to information and change their lives for the better." A few years ago, knowledge of the Neem's medicinal uses spurred some major pharmaceutical companies to try to patent the tree. Vandana Shiva, Indian activist, launched a successful campaign against the companies to ensure the tree will always remain a natural resource for the people.
