Welcome thudpuddy!

Have you tried downloading Dragon? My father hates typing so he uses it to just talk to his computer. He has a heavy Texas accent and it translates him pretty good.

Also, if you hit "enter" a couple of times at the end of the paragraph that will start you a couple of line spaces down.

Enjoy the forums!

Dear thudpuddy,

Welcome to ATS. One of the posters made a recommendation regarding software that you might feel more comfortable using, ATS can be helpful. As for making a paragraph, hitting the enter button will cause you to drop a line. The site has a pretty large age spread, I am in my 50s and have corresponded with a woman in her mid-sixties. I don't know who the oldest person is on ATS; but, you are truly not alone. You should remember that some of the members are kids, at least as young as 16.

There are a lot of great young people here and some of them are very informed. Rather than playing video games, they are researching the world and it is very exciting to see that. You cannot tell the age of someone just by seeing their words, as a consequence it is good to remember that you have more life experience than many here, so be gentle until you know who you are dealing with. Enjoy.

Welcome thudpuppy from another older texan in a smallish town near a big city. Glad you are able to take care of your mother. I would have loved to take care of mine. Actually, I believe the fact you are caring for her will make any loss much easier...no guilt.

Hope you enjoy your time here. Our beliefs are a little different...mine are ever evolving and changing. You may find this forum opens your mind to other ideas, and, I think, that is the purpose.

Hello, and welcome to the site! Don't sweat the typing. You got your message in just fine. Paragraphs aren't hard, just hit "enter" each time you want to move to a new line.

There is indeed a lot to read on here. Always something interesting!

Welcome to the best group of friends that fall out ever created.
Hold on to your tin foil hat it can be a rough ride, but oh so rewarding in the end.
I didn't read all the posts but to do the paragraph thing hit the full stop (period I believe yo call it) then hit enter once or twice depending on how much of a space you need.

Like this.
Or this.

See. Enjoy time with us
