Re: ''pardon?''

I'm always getting irritated because it seems as if my voice is "invisible" well you know the auditory version of invisible lol. I will be talking and people just talk like I'm not saying anything..or walk away etc. When I call them on it they say "oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you were saying ...

Re: Right eyed or left eyed?

Um, at first I thought it was the first image that most resembled the top one, then I thought it was the second one, from looking at the position of the eye-brow. Then I realised that the first was a mirrored version of the left side the face and the second a mirrored version of the right side...so ...

Re: ''pardon?''

I can't really control the volume of my voice very well, and I notice this more since I found out it was because of dyspraxia.

Re: I'm learning to drive

Well I drive a manual car without huge problems, though I haven't passed my test yet (I drive my own non-dual-control car on my provisional license, so I still need to carry a passenger who meets all the various legal requirements), so I can't really say how long learning takes overall, especially ...
