hi kelly and list,

I could kiss you kelly !! I just read that you have dyslexia and read a
magazine from back to front too.. Do you know how this makes me feel finally
to learn that I am not crazy in doing this also? I have had so many looks
and remarks from my family as to why I have to force myself to open a
magazine and read it as it should be read.  I am the only one who is
amidexterous too.  I do reverse numbers also as you and words when I write
or talk . I am so glad I read this I feel better now.  Thanks Kelly for
saying this ..:)

as way of an apology to anyone who feels this list is only to be used for pd
information, I am willing to be tarred and feathered and to never read any
magazine except from front to back
