        Back then, I told the time to speed up. Today, I ask the time to please slow down. :))

        My siblings taught me how to read long before school started. I guess it would be riding a bike but that’s only because I had to borrow bikes to pract with, none of my siblings had one sma enough for me. Oh, I know, I had a very difficult time eating any kind of squash. Slick and gaggy......

          I felt sick too, when my parents made me eat winter squash. I don't mind the yellow summer squash, but they never served that.

                    I was terrified of my best friends Dad! This is when I was 5 or so!  I don't know why he scared me as he was a gentle man. The only thing I can think is he was a sexton in a cemetery.  Today probably known as a caretaker of the grounds and back them -a gravedigger.My  friend and I would earn money by trimming around grave monuments. We used grassclippers and got 5 cents for large tombstones. We earned money to buy ice cream  and it took a few weeks to earn a banana spilt!  I think it was more a parents message to earn your treats.  But I did overcome my fear of him!  Especially on payday!

                        I don't know why, but my writing improves significantly when I use a thinner barrel pen. My writing can go from barely legible to receiving compliments on how neat my writing looks. LOL

                        That's strange but true, my writing is improved when I use a pen with a larger barrel. It must be something to do with the hands, or the grip we have.

                        I like pens that have dark ink, with bigger barrel or at least average. i love to hand write and see how others hand write too.

                        It's too bad they don't teach cursive handwriting anymore.....at least they don't in my state :-\ What's worse is, I read they're not going to teach spelling anymore. They say it's " embedded in the curriculum " I guess they're trying to dummy down our society .

                        Terry, cursive writing as opposed to writing in print. The first paragraph is written in print and the second paragraph is written in cursive.

                          Same here MCM! I was too embarrassed of getting glasses because I thought the kids would pick on me so said nothing about not seeing the chalk on the blackboard! Well by grade 2 I had horn-rimmed glasses and yes the kids picked on me... I got in so much trouble for breaking them but finally my maw let me get John Lennon granny glasses and then I was the cool kid LOLOL When we are kids we are just so gullible and so moved by what other kids think, say and do.... pathetic aren't we! I think I was at times... John Lennon glasses LOL
