a big flash about CURSIVE WRITING
[email protected]
oooh! Oooh!!!
I was just addressing a packet to Joyce Fetteroll, and thinking about other
things, and I purposely wrote my own return addres is my most normal cursive,
thinking in case she analyzes handwriting to any degree it would be good to
let her see mine.
THEN my main brain realized what the corner of my brain was muttering.
HEY! I miss seeing people's handwriting.
I love Christmas cards, because I see handwritten notes (if I'm lucky), and I
love to see my address written in other people's handwriting.
But the same way there's a prejudicial aspect of dealing in person which we
avoid in online discussions, where we deal with ideas in the absence of
body-language and facial clues and eye-movement, there are handwriting
prejudices too.
I have a little bit of a lefty-nervousness, which is funny because my husband
and mid-kid are lefties. But I'm never happy to know someone's a lefty.
It's not rational, it's just a bristly suspicion of darkest evil on my part.
It passes.
I don't really fully like to see people write or throw things with their left
hands. It just seems wrong.
So now! I don't know which of you are lefties!
And you all don't have to see when I'm wearing the same sweatshirt I slept in
and having brushed my hair for a couple of days! Isn't this nice?
But seriously, the handwriting analysis might become a lost art. That's
okay, I suppose. I don't have to see whether any of you dot your i's with
little hearts or bubbles.

I have a couple of very close friends, one of whom lives in Norway (the
other's in Virginia). Both of these friends I met and befriended entirely
online, via email and various instant messenger services. However, as of
about a year or so ago, we began faxing one another letters so that we could
doodle in the margins and see each others handwriting. It was fun -
especially as I'd never used the fax machine before, and had previously had
no idea how it worked. After a few letters via the fax machine, we started
sending one another letters through the post, which was even nicer. I really
like the handwriting of both of my friends, and I like being able to write to
them even when I can't get online (usually because someone else is using the
computer).
Sending and receiving handwritten letters is fun, even if my writing is
pretty illegible, unless I put a conscious effort into it.

Marty is left handed for eating and art and writing, but when he played
hockey, he was right handed.
I just went and inquired as to his left and right handedness. He said he
doesn't know about batting (he hasn't played) but he throws a ball right
handed. I asked about chopping wood--axe or hatchet. He said either left or
right. But he can't write or draw with his right hand.

Since he was 2 (beanbag baseball in the living room--he's a
fanatic--says he's going to "play in all the leagues, even the majors,
and then coach". ::grin::) But he learned to read on his own a month
after he turned 7.

I worked on research into brain function and handedness and there was no
statistical difference in reading age or ability between right-handers,
left-handers and ambidextrous.
Despite this, I had a doctor who told me (in apparent seriousness) that
I suffered from depression becasue I was left-handed....
Stupid man.

I have heard/read this too. But. I am pretty much
ambidextrous, and more so as a child, and learned to
read before kindergarten (started at 4 in Montana).
I've met ambitextrious quite a few (what does "some"
mean what does "quite a few" mean?)folks ....they, for
the most part, seem pretty bright, often intuitive,
with no big learning problems. Most are quite
creative in an artistic sense, and some are musicians.
One is all of these and a linguist, too. But he is
REALLY messy and cares nothing about grooming or
possessions or ownership. This ambi is my Godson's
father.
Personally, I am not sure my brain is wired correctly.
Sometimes I suspect I have two right brains and no X
in the middle, just open. MRI says it looks as though
it were formed fairly normally though.

In my book, some is more than two, also could be a few.
Quite a few is more than some but less than a lot.

ambidextrous can do things like write or use scissors with either
hand. People with mixed dominance use their right hand for some things and
the left for others, but can't switch easily to the other.

bright, but had an awful time learning to read and still doesn't like
to. He doesn't believe he's bright, though, because of the reading
difficulty. I'm not looking for a label for him, but explanations of why
something might be hard for him are always welcome. <g>

Why not? DH adopted adult (30 mother of 2 realty

Sometimes she "babytalks", too. She wore a black
cocktail dress (black accessories) to her Daddy's and
my (small, private)wedding. She said it was becuase it
looked good on her. ? . She had taught her children to
call me Granny, when I met them(I liked that). Dunno?
Guess it is just different from what I am used to. She
had the children for whom I have made shoes......not
related to bubbles and hearts, or maybe it is.

I do the hearts....and flowers and peace signs and bumlebees :) When I write
a letter I always adorn it with eye pleasing doodles :) Well they are eye
candy to me anyway :) Also when I have a page 2,3 etc of a letter to put 2
hearts, 2 flowers, 2 peace signs etc. I always thought it added personality
:)
