Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

As a leftie (Much to the dismay of the nuns, my Mom refused to allow them to try to make me change) I detested those fountain pens - the ink always smeared as I wrote - it's why you used to see so many left handed people write with their hand twisted way around - to keep it out of the wet ink. Modern day gel pens and soft pencils are almost as bad. Good ball point pens are my favorite - my Dad always bought me lovely Parker pens and mechanical pencils.

Sue, My wife had the same problem with her grade school teacher, she went to public school in the Bay area. She said that's why she writes so Bad!
I guess for me it is kind of a nostalgic thing, like useing a double edge razor!
It is different! I have writting issues because of my illness. I don't hold the pen stright up so I'm trying to relearn. They're a lot different than they were 65 years ago.
Funny was I had to ask how to put the cartridges in properly!
