YAY... I don't play tennis but typing can cause Tennis Elbow!
So off to get a band today... and mostly using Dragon now.

1. We old touch typists have the advantage
We were taught on manual machines that required quite a bit of force to depress the keys (why I flunked it) so our palms had to be curved and our fingers pointing down. It turns out that position is also the best for electric keyboards since it reduces stress on the wrist and allows for the variation in hand movement that prevents RSI disorders.

If she wouldn't be on the DUmp day and night spreading her vast google knowledge she wouldn't have them tennis elbows.

You know, folks, I just thought of something.Well, I just had another thought about her real motivation. She made a seemingly offhand reference to "Dragon".
The primitives are notorious for having ulterior subconscious motives when lighting a campfire.
One suspects nadin didn't really start this one to illuminate us about tennis elbow.
I think she really started it to remind the other primitives of the sacrifices (i.e., in this case, the injury) she makes so as to enlighten them.

She's telling the DUmbasses that she's so technologically advanced she has voice-recognition software on her oft-mentioned iPad.
She's also trying to tell us that software errors in Dragon are to blame for her comical spelling and grammar. Nice try, nutcase.

Good call GOBUCKS. It's almost like you used your knowledge of nadin trends to divine her true motives.If you read the script and understand the script, anyone can do this.

It's parenteral jacquerie.
Is there no end to the knowledge one can obtain on DU?
Flunked typing? I mean come on how do you flunk typing?
But it does not surprise me that the dump is full of hunt n peckers both male and female. :lol:
OK, the Dragon comment has been explained, but what about the 'band' comment? There's not much I can make out of this Nutcases' posts until they're deciphered here.
Probably some sort of wrist support?
Since she mentioned tennis elbow it is likely one of those bands that go on the forearm right below the elbow. I'm not entirely sure what they do, but I imagine that they stabilize the joint somehow.I've used the elastic bands when I've had tendonitis in my elbow.
Perhaps if nadin had worked a bit of manual labor in her life, her pathetically weak upper body joints wouldn't be so susceptible to even repetitive motion injuries.
Oh, I'm certain that Nadin's "worked" in her life . . .
Done this: :jerkit: to a "submarine captain," or whoever she was "teaching" at the time . . .
