How good is the recognition software?
I haven't noticed any weird grammar or spelling things in your posts, so it must be working pretty well! |
Its not too bad, I have to correct a few things but I've got it on auto learn and working through the 50 sentences to teach it.

Hello Jeanie and Jeanne! =D
How are you today? ^^ Now I want a tablet too... it sounds very cool... =DD |
I'm not too bad Aylin, how are you? We have a date for the funeral now so mums been a bit upset. But we managed to get her a plot under a tree like she wanted.:)
|
Funeral? D8
I really did miss something. I cringe at the word "tablet" because my brother and cousin (most likely my cousin, because my brother knows what would happen to HIM if he did it..) broke the tablet pen... It works, but it's in such a pitiful state that I dare not touch it x.x. College starts again on Monday. I can feel myself getting more and more nervous as the day approaches D8 |
Aww... I can understand that this is hard for your mom, Jeanie, but I'm glad you finished in finding a plot under a tree. I'm sure your grandma would be very happy about that! =D
I'm fine too! My boyfriend works in the kitchen. We want to paint the wall this week... ^^ @Platinum Aww... that's mean of them! They shouldn't have done that! >_< Can you get a new tablet pen without buying the whole tablet? o.o |
My Grandma died, this time next week is the funeral. I'm so glad I don't have Uni any more. I had to buy a new one, my brother broke the pen for the other one. It falls in half when you try to use it.
|
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. At least the spot she got was a nice one >_<
Well, I'm scared that mine will fall apart the second I touch it. At least I have an excuse now to buy a tablet that's compatible with my lap top. When I bought the other one, I had intended for it to be used on the desktop and then later found out it only went as far as to be compatible with XP.... |
She'd been in pain for a long time so now shes not. Mum is wearing her tops she says it makes her feel like she still with her I got the tablet to draw something for my Grandma to put in the coffin with her.
|
Aw, that's very nice. I'm sure it will turn out lovely >///<
|
It doesn't seem to be going too bad, I keep thinking I've finished it then deciding to do something else or redo something. :XD

Hi Platy!
You're back in purple again! Why are you nervous about going back to school? Have you gotten the classes you wanted? Hi Aylin! How's it going? I'm glad you found a nice place, Jeanie. Is it close to home? I suspect your Mom will be going out there quite a bit for the first year. |
It's just round the corner and down the road a little, most of my Grandma's family are buried there. It would probably take maybe 5-10 minutes to walk there.
|
Oh, that will be nice for her then.
When she's feeling down, she can just walk over there and sit for awhile. |
She's a little upset that the headstone can't be put there for 6 months but there isn't really much they can do about it. My Gran had a building society account that she made a joint account with my mum because mum had to go and pay her mortgage for her because she wasn't able to get there so they say that as far as they're concerned now that money is hers even though it was only Grandma putting money in it. But she did ask my mum how much she had because she wanted to buy her 4 great-grandchildren £100 premium bonds each and replace the headstone on my great-Grandma's grave. So mum hasn't given the solicitor the details of that account so she can do what my Grandma wanted with the money in the building society.
She will be there a lot I think, I'll probably go a bit too. I haven't really been to Great-Grandma's but I was quite young when she died and I didn't see her much because my mum didn't like to take me and my brother round because she had this thing where she didn't really like girls so she'd always give my brother stuff and ignore me so my mum told her she either treats us both the same or she doesn't see us and she didn't change what she was doing so we didn't see her much. I wasn't allowed to go to the funeral, I was deemed too young. Mum still looked after her with Grandma though, until they couldn't handle it any more and she had to go in a home. I know my Grandma always felt guilty about that because she had an ulcer or something on her foot that needed cleaning everyday and we didn't know they weren't doing it and she got septicaemia and died because of their neglect. |
Hey, Jeanne! =D
I'm fine, what about you? I'm trying to finish some stuff for university... I have holidays for one more month, but I want to make some tests in the end of september and beginning of octover, so I have to start studying again... at the moment it's kind of difficult, because I get tired very quick... I have to get used to it again... xD" Aww, Jeanie... I can't understand why some people like somebody more or less just because of their gender... my grandma did the same, but the other way round... she always wanted me to come and not my brother and I got many candy-stuff and my brother got nothing... it's sad, though I didn't realise that then... u_u |
When we're kids, and the one getting the "good" treatment, we don't realize how bad it is.
But if you're the one being ignored, you *know* that it's not right. It's sad that people are that way. I think that your Mom is doing the right thing with those accounts, Jeanie. If she was joint on the account, that means that she can do whatever she wants with it. I never liked studying. I liked learning, but not studying. |
She was the same with her own children, she had 2 boys and my Grandma (and my Grandma had a twin brother who died and she would tell my Grandma how she wished he hadn't been the one to die). In the end did her boys look after her when she needed them? No they didn't my Grandma did and she was horrible to her because she didn't like the fact her boys who she always said were going to be the ones that looked after her didn't give a crap. One didn't even bother to come home for her funeral.
Yeah, my Grandma never told my uncle how much she had in that account so my mum doesn't really want to give him any of it because clearly my Grandma didn't want him to have any of it. She's using it for what Grandma wanted anyway. They kind of messed up my Great-Grandma's headstone so we're going to get her a new one like Grandma wanted to do. |
We didn't have to get a headstone for my Mom.
When my Dad died, she got a headstone, and had both their names carved on it. All they have to do it carve my Mom's death date on it. |
Gender biases make the wold less than it should be, I think >_<
Always the prejudice. I've experienced only a little bit of it, but my mother suffered the whole of it, because she lived in a very traditional Mexican family. She wasn't allowed to go to school beyond the sixth grade because she was a girl "and girls stay home to take care of their parents and do the chores." When she married my dad she came to the U.S. so I wouldn't have to deal with the same thing. Most, if not all of my cousins in Mexico have quit school before high school, or gotten maybe a year in at most before just getting a job or getting pregnant..or..both.. x.x; My mom hasn't really said what she wants her funeral to be, and neither has my dad. They're both young, though, so I just think they don't want to be thinking about it at their age. Neither has hit 50 yet. They also are tired of living in the United States, and only stay for me and my brother.... which reminds me. I have an issue with them taking him out of school for two weeks when he's about to start middle school. They took me to and from Mexico every year, almost always interfering with school time. It was always very strange being the new girl practically every year, and when starting middle school I think it can be pretty bad. He's going to be hitting the difficult years soon, but my parents want to take him anyway. They want him to do well, but at the same time, they show signs of having given up on him at least a little bit. It worries me to have them put him through the same thing I've gone through. I had it easy because I pick things up very quickly, but he doesn't have a very studious disposition, and I don't want him to end up like my cousins >_<; |
That's not so good, Platy.
It's really good that your Mom wanted more for you than she had, but are you feeling guilty because they're living where they don't want to live just for your sake and your brother's? Are they going back to Mexico when you are all done with school? |
Yeah, they very likely will go back. At least, that's what they keep saying. I hope I can somehow manage to take care of my brother, if that's what it comes down. to. I don't want them to be living somewhere where they don't want to be, but at the same time, I don't want my brother to grow up over there x.x
|
How old is your brother?
It doesn't sound like a very good environment for kids. |
He will be 11 in October x.x
I don't need him to be encouraged by very reckless behavior ^^; |
That's a very tough age.
I think that in many ways, the boys have it harder than the girls. We can always retreat into our studies. Nobody minds too much if you're thought of as "brainy" when you're young. The boys however get pounded. |
