Barb, my handwriting is SO BAD..(HOW BAD IS IT?) That I can't read it myself! Seriously, it was always lousy, I hold my pen in the right hand, but it is angled as if I were left handed, and trying to change that only makes my writing worse. If I take my time, it becomes legible, but barely. Everytime I sign my name it is different. I print everything but my signature, to avoid being sent back to the first grade! I remember when I was first learning to write, we had the really cheap paper with blue lines and chips of wood sticking out all over. I remember the notebooks with the fake marble pattern of black and white, and the cloth binding that tasted like dead horses, (I assume, I never really chewed on a dead horse, unless you count McBurgers as horsemeat) I remember every teacher trying to make me hold my pencil or pen properly. BUT mostlly I remember my first computer that let me stop trying to write with a pen, and type everything fast, then edit the typos later. Life is good with a computer! I hate getting letters that are handwritten anyway, they always have at least a couple of words that are not legible, and I never know if I am getting "a million dollars" or "a messy collar" for example! So I just wait until I get a package and say, GREAT, it's NEITHER, it's just a "ticking bomb".........So feel free to send me a TYPED letter any time. Ken B
