Haha, very generous! 

This week, my biggest "I could do without this" (sort of fits the thread, I guess) are tow things:

1.  Crappy internet service.  We really only have one choice here and it goes out on us at least two or three times a week. Driving me crazy!  The only other possibility is StarLink and I'm told even that doesn't work well here.

2. Our new furnace.  Jeez, Mr., pleeze, I'd rather freeze!  We had to replace the furnace and we told it was very close to blowing out in a way that could have either killed us with CO2 or burned the house down.  Well, phew, BUT... the new furnace is also bad news because when when turn it on to heat the house it stinks bad, and I mean B-fuckin'-A-D,  B-A-A-A-D!!!  Our nice HVAC man told us the manufacturers coat new furnace parts with oil so they won't corrode and it takes a while to burn off the oil.  OK, great, so burning industrial oil fumes in the house.  Great!  Just what the old lungs need!  NOT!   Today was day three of this shit.  I'm feel like losin' it, B-A-A-A-D!

Damn, what a week!

Days where I wake up with something sore and wonder why the heck it is sore. Getting older sucks.

I completely understand and am willing to make the sacrifice of a lifetime to unburden anyone or all your superfluous and useless NM/M- vinyl LPs.  Simply slip them in a well padded postage paid cardboard box and ship them to:

Cursive. I have no idea how to write in cursive anymore and don't particularly like trying to decipher someone else's attempt.

I think that one is already all but gone.  I find that sad.  Every now and then I'll come across a used book that has been inscribed to a friend or family member and quite often, the older the inscription, the more beautiful the writing.  It's a lost art and I always see that as sad and unfortunate. For example, back in the early 80's I met a man from the Boston area who was a master at hand chasing wood.  His pieces of hand made furniture were works of art- another all but lost art.  Very sad.

My penmanship is HOR-AH-BLE.  Horrible.  My teachers tried hard with me but for whatever reason myself and my two siblings should have become doctors.  Are handwriting is that bad...

It is definitely a lost art. My wife writes beautifully, I on the other hand...not so much. The funny thing is I have always been artistic but it has never translated to my penmanship.

My cursive used to be good but not great.  Both my parents wrote beautifully in cursive and, feeling a bit unskilled that way, I started to print.  Eventually I got so good at printing that a friend of mine once described my printing as being "like a typewriter".  But now days-  no more!  The hands are getting old and shaky.  My handwriting- cursive OR printing- generally sucks.  Kind of a bummer.  But I can still type, haha!

My wife generously calls my handwriting chicken scratches.

I never learned proper typing (home keys, etc.). I still hunt and peck a bit, but I haven't been fired for taking too long to type yet.

The fucking machine works when you press the correct buttons; I don't think an entire elective class that teaches this "skill" is necessary.

Home keys...I have also adapted quite well to hunting and pecking.

C. keeps some cellophane around and though I rarely use it, when I do, it never tears off correctly and always bunches up on itself.  Profane cellophane!
