I too, Jeri. Remembering what we learned and did as children during WWII, spending my “second childhood” printing GOTV postcards (printing like first grade—I was the best printer in my class—because “they don’t teach cursive any more,” 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 wasn’t being taught until my straight A, 15 year old granddaughter asked me to read a birthday card message for her because she couldn’t 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 you’ll be productive. One note: do NOT mail in bunches. One at a time! We’re living with DeJoy’s 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.???
Wish I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. But carry that candle.

True that it’s brought back? But I still have to print GOTV postcards!
Will join the post card brigade soon as my move is completed. good for you
