Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My brother is dyslexic, and had difficulty learning to read and write until cursive writing was introduced. Something about the letters flowing together made it easier for him to write.
I use script, where the letters don't connect unnaturally. But yeah, I totally love writing by hand.

I'm a little obsessed with my handwriting. When I was in second grade, my teacher used to make me stay in a recess and rewrite my work. I finally learned to do it neatly the first time.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hubs is away on business. Which means I get all the cat-care duties. Which includes giving pills to three cats.
I'm convinced that, if there's a Hell, it includes having to give a pill all by yourself to a squirming, unwilling 16-pound cat with all his original teeth and claws, plus the willingness to use them.

I have terrible handwriting and doing it hurts my hands. Plus it's a mess with most writing instruments because I'm left handed and I'm forever smearing ink across the page. Handwriting has caused me nothing but HEARTACHE!
I suspect I was not taught properly.

I'm left handed, so cursive penmanship was kind of torture for me. The flow of it always felt forced and akward (and looked like crap, as does my printing, and gets ink/graphite all over my hand).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am beth. Often, I can't even read my own bad handwriting.
And my printing is pretty bad too....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm left handed, too! And was just talking about how I always smear the ink. Although I will always be grateful to my 3rd grade teacher (Mrs. Callahan) for figuring out how to write lefty herself, so she could teach me cursive.

My mother is left handed and has beautiful handwriting. I don't know why she just didn't teach me. I seriously have a bump on the top joint of my ring finger that developed from handwriting in school.
