I too, Jeri. Remembering what we learned and did as children during WWII, spending my тАЬsecond childhoodтАЭ printing GOTV postcards (printing like first gradeтАФI was the best printer in my classтАФbecause тАЬthey donтАЩt teach cursive any more,тАЭ taking away the one art many children ever had with all its benefits for the brain) as fast as I can. Today continuing to work on 250 for Sherrod Brown which are **** to cram onto some postcards. To work.

I had no idea cursive wasnтАЩt being taught until my straight A, 15 year old granddaughter asked me to read a birthday card message for her because she couldnтАЩt read cursive. I was flabbergasted. Still am, though now they have brought it back into the curriculum.

Good luck with the move, Jeri. Appreciating your fierce spirit, know youтАЩll be productive. One note: do NOT mail in bunches. One at a time! WeтАЩre living with DeJoyтАЩs PO.

Thank you for the tip. Hopefully before the end of the month. In Texas, the evil is ignorant, but sophisticated, widespread, and supported by officials.

Let us remember that cursive was invented to speed up writing when it was necessary for commerce. Today when most commerce communicates by keyboard, printing makes for much easier deciphering of the few handwritten notes we see. I have never been a fan of cursive and abandoned it as soon as I could.

Some did when I was a counselor in high school. Most had some type of learning disability, which I didn't know until I started working with kids who struggled. Was a breeze for me, so I didn't know some struggled. Live and learn. Wonder how the PO machines read my addresses.???
