    Those of you with school age kids, do they teach cursive anymore? And if they don't, how do kids learn to sign their name?

    Cursive isn’t taught here anymore. Something I’ve also noticed is that a lot of things have moved away from a traditional signature and ask you to either print or simply write your name.
    But Bob, the don’t even teach kids to read anymore. They teach them word recognition. Actually teaching phonics is gone.

    Well, I was never any good at cursive. Lost the ability after a while. I print if necessary. The only thing cursive I do is my signature.

    Me too with losing the ability. I even stopped making my signature in cursive. I do my three initials, but in a stylized manner.

    Have you ever wondered what would happen if we bought nothing for a day?

    Many people I've known spoiled their children rotten. Now, those "children" are mid 30's to mid 40's and, surprise surprise, they're still spoiled rotten children.

    The parents can't figure out why. "I gave them everything they ever wanted", they say.

    Hmm, yeah, I know.

    Just had to let that out. Now I can get on with my day.
