hello

I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I guess I just want a place to voice opinions and tell my stories. Of course my stories are intellectual, deep writings, not for the faint of heart. Soooooo here goes.
My name is Cathy and I am somewhat computer challenged, or as my dear son puts it, I am an idiot! Thinking that one of those intuitive keyboards could be a help with my writing I decided to install one on my phone and try it out. I am not sure, but I think the little "intuitive" hiding in the keyboard is not a native english speaker. I tap keys thinking I am making sense then glance at the screen and I have written something that does not reflect my thoughts......at all! An example, my husband was doing a funeral (he's a pastor) and I had a meeting, but I planned on going to the funeral when I was done, but it got a bit late and as I was unfamiliar with the area I decided to just go on home. I pulled out my phone and texted, "I'm heading home. It's getting late and I'm afraid I'll get lost. See you later." A few moments later my husband called me. "What exactly are you doing?" he asked in a strange voice. "I'm going home, why? Didn't you get my text? "Oh I got it , but I was a bit confused about it". What my helpful intuitive keyboard had sent was, "I'm heading home. It's late and I'm piercing condoms."
Yikes! Glad I didn't send that  one to the church ladies. It would keep the gossip going for weeks!!! Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you a bit about the gossip. Nite
