Welcome JoshZC too, see you out in the forum. Does that mean you don't stutter anymore.

You can check out anytime you want; but you can never leave :D.. You know, I've heard that so many times, ... but it just isn't true. http://www.purezc.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/icon_heh.gif I've been through more online communities than I'd care to count on two hands, two feet, and the hands and feet of those in my house, school, and down. Combined, thank you. Of course, this is certainly one I will give a very impressed twice-over. Thanks for the welcome. ^^;


Welcome JoshZC too, see you out in the forum. Does that mean you don't stutter anymore.Thanks. ^-^ Unfortunately, no, I still stutter. It's only gotten progressively worse since ... whenever .. it started.

I've had speech lessons all through out elementary and High School, and when one "part" of the speech impediment is ameliorated in whatever degree, another surfaces. I went to Catherine Montgomery's immersive institute for stuttering in Manhatten (20th street.) .. interesting three weeks. > >. Now I'm enrolled in a $100 per 45 minute session class in Isabella Reichel's sessions in Kew Gardens, Queens, NY. G'haa. Too expensive.

Of course, I will still and will always maintain a positive attitude, for there are far greater things in life than having a rogue voice. ;) Some of the methods of compensation and/or bypass are very interesting indeed. Never before has my town seen a person with so many useless accents. XD *lol*


Oh, and while it's here, .. if anyone is interested in watching 1-26 episodes of Azumanga Daioh (Japanese with English Captions.) the link is Here (http://skye.galxeth.net/media/stream/index.htm). ^^; Fun stuff. Thank mod for youtube. > <,

So thank you all for your kind welcomes. ^^; That goes to everyone who has yet to post; I don't like to waste postcount on one-line posts. @ @'
