    typing one handed

    why am I posting this in cat general??????? because it it the CAT'S fault!!!!!!!!!
    I dare you to try to tame little kittens with one hand while still trying to post on pet talk. (yes, that is how addicted I am.......to both cats AND pet talk)
    the hardest part is capital letters (which is why I sometime use as few as possible)
    so when ever you see posts with no capitals you will know there is a little kitten on my lap and my other hand is on him/her.

    **raises hand and jumps up and down**

    I'll hold them while you type
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Heh, heh, heh. Some evening my typing gets REALLY slow when Cassy is in my arms or on my hand... Oh, well, I'm trying to convince myself that this challenge is improving my typing under duress skills.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    I want that problem more often.

    Sometimes one of them will come sit in my lap, but it is rare.

    Beau likes to curl up against my chest. To keep him from falling I hold one arm under him. That leaves one hand to type with. I usually make capitals using the Caps Lock.

    Cat-pal tunnel syndrome=the cramp you get in your arm from trying to type around the cat.

    Ooh, ooh, me too!

    I'm so relieved though because when I saw the title, I thought you had been bitten now. Whew, glad that's not the case and instead it's just a bad case of kitten in lap.

    LOL My little monkey, Cali is alway in my lap as I type, sometimes she even tries to help me. I've gotten much better at typing one handed....as long as you don't check my spelling to closely It's not to bad.

    What are you going to do? Move them!! I don't think so...thats not going to ever happen. So you learn a new skill and new skills are good.

    LOL!! Leroy can't stay out of my lap when I'm on the computer! The problem is that we have the desk that has the pull out keyboard tray. Well you can't pull it out over your lap when there is a 16 LB furball laying there wanting your attention! He has taught me more about flexability than any yoga instructor ever could!!

    Awww....I want to be typing with one hand as well! If life was only difficult because of this, it would be a good life!

    Nakita sits between the keyboard and me on the desk - so I have to type 'around' her! It's just not the same as being a one hand typist.
    Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin.

    ROFLMAO!!! I get that every night as big fat Ketchum plonks on my right arm!!

    Jen - Sympathy in buckets to you - I hated it when I did my shoulder and could only type in caps., but at least fur babies aren't too painful! LOL!

    Me too!!! I was worried that you had received an awful wound, Jen!!! Glad it's just a case of "lovin on kitties".
