Grimacing Maniacal Lemmings

I am not a speller, I try, I try so hard, but consonants and vowels never fall into the right place for me. I keep a blank word document up during the day and test my spelling skills on it before writing comments on other blogs or responding to emails where spell check is not available. I’m very self conscious about my lack of skills. The title of this post “Grimacing Maniacal Lemmings” was one of my spell check sheets from the other day. I think they probably look something like this. I’m pretty sure it would be like the rodent zombie apocalypse.
P.S That is John McCain's mouth, just in case you were wondering.

    I really don't care one bit about how you spell anything!  Your words always make your point.  Don't sweat the small stuff, Madge.  You rock!!!

    Thanks mamma! Hey did your last post get deleted? Mine did, and I noticed that a lot of people who had posts up yesterday, they got erased while blogger was down for maintenance.

    My last post was there this morning so I think it's okay. 

     You are about the freshest and funniest thing to happen to blogging since I started a year and a half ago!  Like I said, fug them if they worry about spelling!

    You're so sweet.
    It's strange, when I went over to Dufus's this morning his last post was gone, and the comments from pause ponder n pun were gone, but I went back and they were there.

    I tried to open my "profile" page yesterday on my blog and no luck.  It's okay now, but I think it's still down in some areas.

    My spell check keeps telling me to put the American spelling, and I'm English. I end up getting quite confused in the end, so you're not alone :)

    My tooth is fine now, though a trip to a dentist will be needed eventually, I suppose. Another tooth lost I expect.

     Good, I'm glad it's better, did any of my home remedies help? It's ok if they didn't I just want to know for the future. :)

    To be honest I didn't get a chance to use any of them. I couldn't open my mouth enough as it effected my jaw. I had to eat soft food off a teaspoon. Then I got the antibiotics and it improved almost immediately, for which I was very thankful. Sorry I can't be of any help for you there, but thank you for all your tips :)

     Do my eyes deceive me or are those ninja lemmings?   I actually think it's commendable that you care about your spelling enough to keep a word doc open.  I check word spellings and meanings all the time before I post them.  I think it shows respect for the reader.  

    But then, I'm kinda anal about a lot of things.  ;)

    Ha! You think you're bad. I triple check my posts before publishing and still read WHAT I WANT TO READ. More often than not,  find a wrong word or forgetting a word.

    Eeek.

    And I loves me some zombie rodents! heh heh

    AND... I gave you TWO freakin' blog awards. Go check it out when ye can. *smile*

    I also read and edit over and over again. Spellings are not usually a problem but grammar. Somethings I go back to a comment I made on someone's page and realise that 'horrors!!' it makes no sense cause i had mixed up the verbs and prepositions.

    p.s. Those lemmings look like stuff from a nightmare.
