Cappy Crazy They Say?

They Say I Am Cappy Crazy They Always Ask " Why Do You Cap Every First Letter?" Most Already Have Their Minds Made Up That I Am Strange Or Trying To Do Some Power Text Thing To Show Off Or Seem Uber Proper.....The Fact Of The Matter Is That I Was Born Into This World With Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Now A Little Lesson For Those Who Don't Wanna Google,
Congenital Rubella Is A Group Of Physical Problems That Occur In An Infant When Its Mother Is Infected With The Virus That Causes German Measles. With That Being Said There Is Real Reasons That Are Behind My Cappy Madness.
Here Are Some Of The Many Complications A Person With This Can Have:
(copy & paste)

Complications may involve many parts of the body.

Eyes:

Cataracts
Glaucoma
Retinitis

Heart:

Patent ductus arteriosus
Pulmonary artery stenosis
Other heart defects

Central nervous system:

Mental retardation
Motor retardation
Small head from failed brain development
Encephalitis
Meningitis

Other:

Deafness
Memory deficits
Low blood platelet count
Enlarged liver and spleen
Abnormal muscle tone
Bone disease
Developmental delay
Schizophrenia
Growth retardation
Learning disabilities
Diabetes
Glaucoma

Now I Don't Have All These Problems Which I Am Very Thankful For, But What I Was Left To Deal With Growing Up Consisted Of ::
Developmental Delay:::Learning Disabilities::Mental Illness::ADDHD::Motor Retardation:::Memory Deficits:::

So With That Being Said The Cappy Thing Was A Tool I Learned When I Was A Child, Before The Medical Profession Was As Advanced As They Are Now They Basically Had Me In Special Training Classes To Teach Me How To Learn.

One Of My Biggest Problems Still In Life Is Memory I Have A Memory Recall Problem. Which Is Funny Considering The (CRS) Which Some Say In Joking Can't Remember Shit..Which Is Very True In My Case. They Had Me Cap Every First Letter Of Words To Slow My Brain Down A Little So I Could Remember In Some Cases How To Spell Or Keep My Train Of Thought. Still To This Day I Do It, When I Type Or Write.

So Now The Case Of Why I Cap Is Out In The Open. Hope This Clears Things Up.. And To Those People It Bothers. Try Being Me For Awhile That Lil Bother Would Never Matter In My Life. Hope Ya Can Over Look And Not Judge So Harsh.....

And With The Inoculations That People Now Get The German Measles Are Not As Common. Yes Mother-To-Be Get That Blood Work And Pre-Natal Care. Could Save You Child From CRS.

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on September 23, 2010 at 12:23pm: very interesting - - happy to see that you've found a most unique technique to defeat another of life's "little speed bumps" - - i did google a bit, and the good thing is that given the current course of pre-natal care, testing and treatments the occurrence of crs in the united states is reported at only one child in the over 4million live births each year since 2000 - - this is a good testimony for all expectant moms - - you are truly an overcomer

and yet, i still have reservations as to whether the whole cap crazy thing isn't just really due to bacon overload

(notice that gumbo123 adheres to minimal cap-usage in this response so as to reserve that right for ŽaltysEglė)
