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 ..:) *seattle* audrey friend of aussie john pwp 48/38/35?? 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly Grant <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2000 11:45 AM Subject: Re: Dyslexia & mirror writing > Well Marjorie, Murray and list...it really does make one wonder!
