~I Forgot How To Write!~

Today I decided I would write a letter to my cousin

June..She is the Elder of the family at 83. Still takes

care of herself..strong woman and a sweet woman that

I have had a special place in my heart for always..She

even used to tell me that I wrote lovely warm letters

and she loved when I wrote to her..I Tried to today. I

did..I got paper, pen and a envelope I was going to write.

Do you know by the time I finished the first paragraph

my hand was cramping and the pen fell right out of it? I

have gotten SO spoiled by this computer.. I type out my

letters and I can type alot faster than I can write...then

print them off and post them lol. Well..to a favorite cousin

and someone younger I would, but out of respect for her

I will hand write it.. This is the same thing as how my power

chair spoiled me and I had to go back to my manual.. I wont

go back to NO computer no no..but I think I should take

more time to write stuff by hand.. Most I write now is a

check which takes 2 seconds to do..specially when you dont

have any money to spend anyway I only write 2 a month.

rent and supplies lol..I got out of practice...lol.

To type a letter on a computer is so fast and easy.. I have

always been a fast and pretty good typist..I had a teacher,

Miss Swanson..wow I remember!! she left an impression hey?

Well she was VERY strict..and on first day she gave us a

picture of a keyboard and told us to memorize it. On the 4th

day after reminding us all 3 of those days..to memorize, this

was 10th grade...lol..and told us what to practice typing. Miss

Swanson walked person to person while we were typing and

put a sheet of paper over our hands..and if we stopped typing

because we were looking at our hands, we would get a F for that

day, and double homework.. Then if we didnt the next we were

in BIG trouble. So I learned. I HATED failing grades..that was

NOT acceptable lol I can remember I had DREAMS about key

boards.lol. I made sure I learned it. And I remember it to this

day. I tested once..I did 96 wpm(words per minute) and had

3 mistakes... not too bad..:-)

One hot day, in class, one of the guys, Leo, big tall guy- kinda

of one of those "bad" guys..always into something..Well- he was

trying to type and was his turn to have Miss Swanson put that

paper over his hands.. He had to stop typing lol..She told him

he was getting a F for every day for a week..he had PLENTY

of time to memorize that keyboard..Well..Leo jumped straight

up..grabbed that typewriter off that desk....remember I said

was nice warm day? The windows were wide open for air..

yup..he stomped over to that window and THREW that type

writer OUT of it!!! Told Miss Swanson "NOW !! you can't

fail me cuz I quit" and marched out of the room..He never

did come back ..but boy did he get in CRAP ..I think, suspended,

and had to buy a new typewriter, apologize-he did nothing :-)

We ALL laughed our butts off it was SO funny. Miss

Swanson was so shocked I thought she blew a gasket lolol..

But I can still type close to that today tho..so ..I LEARNT..

now if I could get the punctuation right I'd be ok..huh

Raife? lol...I give that poor man fits with my writing style

when he reads me.. well I cant be like anyone else can I?

NAAAA-- Im GORGEOUS ME :-) like no other lol...

I think I need to type a recipe for making some food..lol

Lunch wasnt too bad..spaghetti and garlic bread but guess

what was with it? no no not carrots lol SPINACHHHH ..

EWWW ..WHO would want SPINACH with spaghetti?

well for that matter who would want it at all? lolol NO

i dont like SPINACH either ..boiled grass looks like to

me..no Ill put that right with the carrots.lol. :-) I have

some good recipes tho. Now if I can just make it out

there and back with no mishaps ill be fine.. Oh and say,,

NO mess report..well a tiny one. just some washcloths

knocked off the closet shelf ..well they had to lay down

lol its a favorite spot, so we're doin good on that front.

I'm hitting POST now..Nitey Nite :-)

Always, Lois ****
