**my sister actually uses these things like “lol” “gtg” while she talks on the phone. she’s about 13 or something and i always make fun of her for doing it. **
I don’t use them when I talk on the phone…but I’ve used them in letters before…guess I’m a AIM addict…I dunno…
~Angela who once wrote “lol” on something and her mother though it was a slang for a curse word
letters…you know, i honestly dont think ive ever written a letter. oh wait no there was that time in 6th grade that i wrote a letter. but other then that, and thank you notes after my birthday and christmas…
anyways i dont think thank you letters really count cuz they pretty much all say the same thing.

**ok i know i shouldve noticed this before, but nice avatar carolyn…did you make it yourself? and it also explains youre new title **
Nope! didn’t make it myself, I’ve tried making them but they just don’t ever turn out right. Maybe I just don’t get it and don’t realize it.

No David, they don’t still make letters. Individuals who want to send them write them. And I send them often, to Germany and across the US.

**Yes, we call it snail mail. **
Yes, Eddie, I am familliar with the term “snail mail.” I also know that I rather get snail mail sometimes than emails. You don’t crap from people who just sit down and start typing email addresses in sequence or forwarded crap that no one wants anyway. You get a personal message from someone who actually took the time to write to you. TO me that’s way better.

**Anyone can have decent penmanship. All you have to do is take your time and think about what you’re writing. Try it, you’ll see what I mean. **
all my teachers say that my hand writing is terrible. some of them say they won’t accept it cause it’s so bad. so what if i’m left handed. left is right and right is wrong.
Lefties have rights too!
I used to left handed until 1st grade when my teachers started cracking my knuckles with a yard stick for writing with my left hand. It was private school and considered a sign of the devil or something. Anyways, after I left private school I started writing with my left hand again. I t was hard but I had to slow myself down and work on my penmanship. Once I got my skills back and stopped having to think about writing so much, I broke my finger. It was so badly broken that I cannot hold things in my left hand anymore for writing, the finger gets in the way. Anyway, the point is if you want to have good penmanship you can if you slow down and practice.
You haven’t seen me either. Why do you think I spend so much time on the computer?
Eddie, do you really want me to respond to this post? You really opened up the door on this one.
