Fr,

I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING ABNORMAL ABOUT DRAWING, SULPT (= SCULPTURING?), PAINT, ETC...AT ALL - I SEE A FELLOW WHO COULD WORK ON HIS SPELLING IS ALL; I DO NOT CONDONE THIS SUMB DOWN APPROACH THAT MISPELLED WORDS ARE OK - WHY SHOULD IT BE OK? SHOULDN'T EVERYONE ASPIRE TO LOOK 'UP' THAN LOOK 'DOWN' IN BEING A BETTER PERSON AT WHATEVER THEY DO - YOU CERTAINLY REMIND US OF THAT WITH EACH AND EVERY POST YOU MAKE HERE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, ETC...SO WHY NOT INCLUDE SPELLING. WE ALL DID THIS IN 3RD GRADE ONWARDS....I DID NOT INSULT ANYONE ON THIS FORUM ABOUT THEIR SPELLING, ONLY POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO SPELL CORRECTLY IN THE TECHNO(-CRAP) WORLD.... YOU AND I HAD TO COPY THE DICTIONARY IN SCHOOL, OR AT LEAST I DID, BUT NOW COMPUTERS TELL PEOPLE HOW TO SPELL, WRITE SENTENCES, DO MULTIPLICATION ETC...SO WHAT IS LEFT? KEEPING VARANIDS, PAINTING, WORKING ON (OLD) CARS, AND OTHER STUFF... WHY SHOULD BE NOT BE EXPECTED TO WRITE CORRECTLY? BECAUSE THIS DUMB-DOWN SOCIETY SAYS IT IS OK? I DO NOT THINK IT IS OK, AND IS CREEPING INTO EVERY CORNER, CRACK OF SOCIETY, AND I DO NOT LIKE IT. IS IT SO HARD TO LOOK A WORD UP IN THE DICTIONARY?



AND AS FOR VARANIDS NOCTURNAL BEHAVIOR, WE ALL HAVE SEEN THIS IN THEIR REPRODUCTION BEHAVIOR, SO WHY IS IT SO SURPRISING TO SO MANY? tHEY USE THEIR TONGUES ALOT WHEN DIGGING = I HAVE SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE ANIMALS THAT LIVED WITH ME, AND THAT IS WHAT MY MONITORS TOLD ME....NOW WHY THEY USE THEIR TONGUES SO MUCH IN THIS WAY, SAM HAS A BETTER IDEA ABOUT THAT MOST HERE IN MY OPININON. WHAT THEY DO WITH THE EGGS, WELL, YOU HAVE ALOT OF EXPERIENCE, BUT KNOWING THE SUBTLE LITTLE THINGS ABOUT A VARANIDS BEHAVIOR IS WHAT TRIGGERS MY INTEREST IN THEM, NO WHO IS RIGHT OR WRONG....AS YOU KNOW, WE WILL NEVER AGREE ON THAT, AND WE KEEP AGREEING TO DISAGREE, AND THAT IS FINE WITH ME - OUR MONITORS TELL US DIFFERENT THINGS, AS WE ALL SEE DIFFERENTLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT OUR PAST EDUCATION ABOUT THESE ANIMALS (AND OTHER THINGS) HAS TAUGHT US...



CHEERS,

MBAYLESS

All until the last paragraph.



Please keep in mind, this is a forum for monitors and not spelling. In trying to offend me, your offending many others.



Please consider, I am happy with my natural gifts, being lefthanded and very possibly brain damaged, I see things in pictures and not words. I feel words by themselves are not important. My abilities allow me to draw, sulpt, paint, and do many other non-normal activities,
