Just pretend to have a sore throat, and get by with sign language for two or three days. The best bit is when you start to talk again, you throat is croaky from disuse, so no awkward questions were ever asked!mutepointe wrote:my best friend didn't know there was a difference between moot and mute. the unique spelling is due to a website where the more basic variations of mootpoint were taken. i would also like to never have to talk again. i used to have another nic at the msn gaming zone but it kept good people away from my table that i decided to give it up. i have a different nic there now.
I'd love to do it again as an adult, but so much of my work takes place over the phone.
congratulations on pulling that off though. wasn't it worth it?
It was paradise.
