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 as far as I know is dead. They do still have to write/print tho. I am told that after they got rid of the Quill, cursive really took a nose dive. Also, cursive writing really scratches the hell out of laptop screens.
I tried to edit my post but now I have white out all over my screen.

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?
The next day, wouldn't an offsetting rebound in sales occur? I mean, I'm not supposed go without ever buying what I was intending to buy on the day of buying nothing am I?
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.

Maybe it's just me but lately I've been thinking that america would be better off if we closed all of the colleges for ten years.
lol. Not necessary to close them, just require an above average record of academic achievement based on standards set in the 1950's, and stop pretending that college is merely an extension of High School, a la Bernie Sanders et al.
I'm told that Korea has become an excellent example of what's wrong with the belief that "everyone needs college". Basically, all of the janitors must now be Sanitation Engineers with at least 2 years post H.S. education in order to be qualified to push a mop.
What a bunch of baloney!
Also, The University should require well rounded education for all majors. No more "I'm going into Elementary Education because you don't even have to take any Algebra", something I heard one young co-ed tell her friends while I was in College myself. How can we succeed if only the stupid are teaching the young?

I don't know, but apparently you'd still drive on the right side of the road. I found this on why some drive left and others right.
Horse riders in the UK would ride on the left-hand side of the road. This meant that their right hand was unobstructed. That way, they could easily access their swords and always had a free hand to greet passersby.
In America, on the other hand, a wagon led by two horses was a very popular setup. Riders would sit on the horse on the left-hand side, leaving their right hand free to whip the other horse when necessary. As the wagon was usually pulled by two horses, riding on the right-hand side of the road provided better visibility.

As I read your post, I wondered why in a team of two horses, the leader is always the left side horse. It seems like I knew this fact already, but I can't recall if I ever knew why it was so. Meriam Webster's definition of a lead horse is, "the horse on the left in a team of two". Well, ****. I spent some more time googling for the answer but never got to it, so I gave up.
I dont think there's enough election ads going on. I wish my friends would post more about voting and share more political memes. And I need more political flyers in my mail box. TYVM.

Old friend of mine posted this on FB. He's a big lib. And the only reason I know he's a big lib is because of what he posts on FB. I on the other hand never get political on FB so, I only had this stupid reply in my head. But after I read you post I figured it belonged in the "stupid stuff" thread.

Because we drive on the right side of the road. Driver closer to the center of the road. Same reason why brits have right side drive.

I wonder if anyone has ever made this correlation….
Maybe the Zodiac killer was never caught….
Because he turned into D. B. Cooper….
Perhaps, another way to look at it…maybe that’s why you black out your on screen presence during the Vherf??? Maybe you are the zodiac killer 😳🤪🤪🤪
