AUTO CORRECT or typing FAUX PAS:

Mom's auto correct has a serious attitude most days and she never knows what it will type.

Now for the funnies:

We expect everyone, at some point during a day, has a crazy auto correct word pop up in their email or on their blog. We thought it would be fun to as you to leave some of your crazy

auto corrects in the comments today.

Here are a few classic ones from us:

Mafia instead of Madi

At least once a day mom will look at her iPad and see that it has decided to change my name to Mafia.

Precious vs. Previous

Many years ago mom send a message to her friend whose husband had been very sick.

Mom thought she typed: "how is your precious husband doing?"

Then horror upon horrors upon horrors after she hit send she saw the sentence said:

"how is your previous husband doing?"

Mom was mortified, she immediately sent a CORRECTION; however, at the same time she rec'd an email from her friend. Saying oh my word that was the best laugh I have had in years....and boy did we need it. Turns out precious husband was doing well.

Finally the funniest one from my human Sissy.

Sissy keeps her grocery list on her Smart (~~Dumb)~~phone

Sissy was breezing thru Walmart buying groceries she checked the next thing on her list...

it read:

One little Ethiopian

Sissy told mom she stopped right in the middle of the aisle and read it out loud...

(thankfully no one was around). She thought what in the world was that supposed to be and was quite surprised she knew how to spell Ethiopian. When she got home she was not missing anything that she needed and never to this day figured out what she meant to type.

So now tell us some of your craziest auto correct or typing faux pas!!

Thoroughly Poetic Pictorial Thursday

Today we join Two SPOILED CAT

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

New Year's Eve is the photo Angel Sammy and his brudder Teddy selected this week.

New Year's Eve

*First Night is what we call here in the City of Oaks.
The celebration starts in mid afternoon for kids and old folks
(who fall asleep at ten in their den).
The peeps have never been.
The crowds of crazy womens and mens running around like banshee hens
would surely send them over the deep end.
They sometimes watch it on the TVeees.
Just before the stroke of midnight in town.
A crane begins to lower a ginormous metal (oak) acorn down to the ground.
Yep you read that right an oak acorn and that is no joke.
Addendum:
There was doubt about its appearance this year.
A careless bloke was moving it to be cleaned up.
The chain broke and holy acorns it fell with a bang
it got dented on the side and some of the metal bent.
Acorn EMS was called to the scene. External damage minor
but repairable was declared.

Below is an excerpt from a recent news story it gives you some stats on
the acorn.

Crews hit a snag with what may be the one acorn in the city they want to keep from hitting the ground.

Workers on Wednesday postponed their efforts to relocate the 1,250-pound, steel acorn from Moore Square to South Salisbury Street when the sculpture didn’t fit on a new base its artist had designed for it.

The 10-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide acorn is used during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in City Plaza.

The city had invited the media to watch crews relocate the acorn from Moore Square, where it had stayed since 1991, to a spot in front of the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts.
