We have all been blessed with a greeting.

You had 'em in the pool? Ah, yer all wet!

Would I duck your comment if I said I meant 'betting pool?' Or would it just quack you up?

Now you're getting into the swim of things. That's my current theory. Or have I gone off the deep end?

@Kendra , water you think?

We better stop or I'll have to go get my swimmies!

I will be the first to say that I don't deserve all of the accolades and that I don't always offer the encouragement and support that I should sometimes.... there are many threads that I just seem to miss seeing at times.

Are you kidding?  YOU are certainly a deserving person, not Aspiring!  Inspiring!  I can't imagine the forum without your participation.

Could we all send a PM to our Northern Star*Girl @Alaskan Danielle and tell her this.  She needs to hear it directly from everyone who she has touched their lives.  Really.... I mean this.

There is very little left I can add at this point besides being in full agreement, In her short time since having joined Sudan's she has touched so many hearts, helped so many folks and provided constant inspiration- always worried about others and she has gone far beyond any duty.

Oh, and the one suitor Danielle chooses can consider themselves a incredibly lucky person!
Thanks for all you have done Danielle!!!

Hugs,

Sarah

Done! Even though she hardly gives me a chance to fulfill my greeters duties. I've got to get up pretty early in the morning to welcome someone before she does! [emoji1]

I can't tell you how many times I've needed to edit out links to new members after getting that red notice that someone has posted a new message.  I've got used to it though.
When I was a greeter, I welcomed as many as 20 new members daily.  That has fallen to just a few per week! 
She has fast fingers!

How fast she can type??? Well....how would she ever know? I mean I guess she could count the words as she types them but then counting them would totally slow her down. Who knows how fast they type? What an unusual question. Lol

We have all been greeted by the Lovely Alaska Danielle. Sometimes I wonder what will happen when she does not have 20 hours of sunlight. She has been fabulous at giving us complements and encouragement and I want to acknowledge her for how much she actually brings light to a sometimes dark situation. You are the bomb. Sorry I'm old and I don't use the new slang. Anyway considering the length of some of her posts, got me to wondering just how many words a minute she can type. Take your best guess.
Danielle thank you for being here and offering the support you do. Actually all of our staff is the bomb. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me and so many others back to life. Luv to you all.

Ditto Dawn and ladies!!! Ok yeah. I'm old with the old slang too lol. Danielle! I hope you never stop posting here, no matter how fast you type.

Many hugs girl,
Donica.

[Jayne01]

I'm glad this thread was started. Danielle is such a warm hearted and inspiring person. I feel very lucky that she has touched my life and my heart. Danielle, you are awesome!!!

The world is a much better place with Danielle and our little Susan's community is very lucky to have her.

Thank you Danielle!!!

Really big, huge, giant HUG!!!!

Julia  It's not that hard to test. My cousin does over 90 words a minute and I can do thirty five on a good day, try it.

You know....Dawn, I was thinking that you may need to add a few more higher numbers to the pole. I've read that the fastest is like 212 wpm. I think Danielle types more like 190+ wpm? Any thoughts?

[DawnOday]

Maybe she will slow down in the winter when they have only 4 hours of daylight. Maybe she doesn't type at all but jabbers into Naturally Speaking. All I know is the responses are quick, long and uplifting.

To all that are following this thread started by @DawnOday

... OK, I will dispel any myths and incorrect guesses about my typing speed... in high school I took a couple business machines classes and learned touch typing the old fashioned way on typewriter.  Typing speed in Words Per Minute is set up on the formula that the average word length is 5 characters and therefore a typing speed test consists of a block of text with various words and different length of words ....  the results of the timed test correlates to a computed typing speed. 

In high school I regularly exceeded 100 words per minute with no errors.  I eventually graduated to one of those IBM Selectric typewriters, the ones with a typing ball and achieved even faster speeds.  I kept on having difficulties with the Selectric machines so a typewriter repair guy was called in and found nothing wrong with the typewriter but asked me to show him the problem that I was having.... so I started typing away and the typewriter started acting up again...  the typewriter repair guy said that I was exceeding the speed limit of that particular model typewriter which is approximately over 130 word per minute and that is why the problem showed up.
Advanced speed tests involve number and punctuation characters which more accurately assesses real life speed.

Today I still type at well over 100 to 120 WPM on a computer keyboard ...  I can type even faster on a real typewriter than I can on a keyboard, mainly because of tactile feel....  much like when I play the piano, unless the modern keyboard is designed especially to mimic the "feel" of an acoustic piano keys, I find that I don't feel as comfortable playing an electronic keyboard with a fast moving musical score.

How fast she can type??? Well....how would she ever know? I mean I guess she could count the words as she types them but then counting them would totally slow her down. Who knows how fast they type? What an unusual question. Lol

@Julia1996  I hope this answers your questions about how typing speed is determined....

Thank you all for your way too kind comments.... 
I very much appreciate what you all are saying...   I am truly *blushing* and totally overwhelmed.

Hugs to all,
Danielle

haha I'm loss, thought it around 90 wpm
Danielle you're awesome and that's not because of type speed
