**UDATED**
Can you believe this? I actually got this error message when I was trying to post a comment to this adorable blog that I found through the Fashion Fiesta. (You may have to click on it to make it big enough to read.)
Did the computer actually ask me to SLOW DOWN?
Now granted, I have visited over 50 blogs on the fashion tour, and I’ve left a comment on almost every one (who needs to get a life?), but still. Since when does the computer tell me to slow down?
The irony is quite humorous. I will tell you a secret. Promise to keep this between you and me, m’kay? In high school, my nickname was Turbo. The reason being, I talk quite rapidly. And the more excited or nervous I get, the faster I talk.
And I type about as fast as I talk. But to get reprimanded by the computer is quite a feat, I would think. Has anyone else ever gotten this message!? I feel like I just got scolded by my mother. Who, ironically, used to tell me to slow down (and still does, for that matter) whenever I get yacking too fast.
Speaking of my turbo tongue, I am afraid that when I meet up with the Disney bloggers, I will embarrass myself by talking too fast. As I said, I talk faster when I’m excited or nervous. And I expect I’ll be a bit of both when, a week from today, I gather with 15 or 20 other fabulous blogging mamas from all over the inter-web. I can’t even imagine it!
So, this is fair warning, those of you who are reading. I talk real fast. You may have to say "what?" or "excuse me?" but please don’t tell me to slow down. And don’t even THINK about calling me Turbo.
**Update — I’ve been challenged to a typing test in the comments.
Turbo – I’ve never HEARD of anyone who could type faster than they could talk.
You should go take that typing test.

Sorry about WordPress.
I thought it was just me…I was out visiting and wordpress told me the same message. The crazy thing is that I went back and s l o w l y typed my response…uh yeah I don’t recommend it cause it still wasn’t slow enough for them!!!
Ha! I got 90! That’s pretty good for not having an office job in over six years, don’t you think, Turbo?
Ha! I can’t believe that message. Typing faster than you can talk is pretty impressive.
I’ve been known to talk a little fast myself at times when I get really excited. BUT never type as fast as you! WOW, something else for me to bow at your feet about!
That’s funny. I took that test a couple of weeks ago and could only get up to 71. Tonight I was able to hit 74 but with 2 errors. Oh well!
And no, I never got that message posting on a blog page, but I have on Facebook for super poking too fast!
I call you “Speed Racer” but I think that was after driving behind you 😉
96 words per minute! Wowzers! I just took the test – 64wpm – one-handed!!! Yes, I type one-handed. 🙂
Yup, I got that same message today. Though I type much slower.
I get that all the time! It’s b/c I catch up on days at a time at a blog (you know…) and I guess I’m just, you know, turbo, too! 🙂
Hilarious!
WOW! 96 words per minute! HOLY COW!
