I WROTE!!
Reading a blog about actual handwriting made me think that I do not write in script.
Being in the data/input industry for multi-years, I have been taught that "GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT"
In other words, if the key punchers ( that's how long ago I've being doing this) can't read your "PENMANSHIP" they cannot KEY your input.
Soooo... I started to print everything I wanted someone to read in a legible form of BLOCK TYPE.
So what's this have to do with me "writing"???
The American Cancer Society got me this year to "volunteer" to send letters to my "NEIGHBORS" asking for contributions.
The list I received had fifteen addresses on it ... but there are only nine houses on the entire street with the highest house number being 19.... but this list had house numbers in the thirties!!
The Society sent me a list of houses with house numbers of the same street name but a different zip code!!
Well, I photocopied ( I didn't XEROX because that would be brand infringement, or something??) the list and hi-lighted the person's name and sent them the Cancer plea for chips with a HAND PRINTED NOTE from yours truly and explaining how the society screwed up the mailing lists.
If the people respond.. good, if not... I tried!
Hey!! It only cost me a couple of stamps for postage and return self addressed envelopes for the donations AND I probably would have spent that much money or more for a few beers at Johnny's so .. big whoop!
Gotsta stop that cancer thing. GRRRR!!!
Hell I'll probably die from a gunshot wound from a jealous husband/boyfriend or pissed off wife!! Whatever!!
OINK

I don't know how you do it, but I find your posts to be completely understandable yet utterly confusing at the same time.
which means I've either been around you too much or not enough.
what?
no, ME.
level two.
