Yes, we public school veterans have APPALLING handwriting. But so many Gen Z folks don't even know how to write cursive! I have always preferred to make notations from reading by writing: in both cursive and block printing, omitting vowels, in Latin, and with Chinese characters. I can still read my class notes from graduate school 25 + years later. Pat & I made sure our daughter could write cursive, and she is still writing notes to herself, making to-do lists, recording personal reflections: all while still staring at and poking her iPhone.
And yes, some people will stare silently with blank faces when confronted with vaccine injury facts, and others will counter with establishment talking points. It is disheartening and frustrating, but one learns to just silently count to ten and let it go. After Pat & our daughter got one vaccine, and Pat a single booster, they realized first hand that my protestations and warnings were based in factual information. They have sworn off EVER repeating those missteps.
Being a letter writer I appreciated this substack. I have said letter writing is a dying art. To help keep letter writing on life support I send my grandchildren cards with short notes as they are only 6,4,3 and 1. I do it so they know what mail is ( good ol snail mail) as well as to have them see what handwriting looks like and to experience getting something in the mail. My daughters 35 and 38 look at me like I am cra cra and don’t seem to get much less appreciate the intentions as well as the efforts. I see my grandchildren often but still hold fast to the art of the written words and will not stop until the day comes when I can’t or their is no longer the USPS. On a different note Scott you told me you asked Kara to reach out to me I have not to date been contacted by her.
Dory, You sound like me talking. I have two daughters 36 & 33, and and my 36 yr told thinks I'm "cra cra" as well, but I continue to mail my 8 grandchildren - ages 3-13 birthday cards with notes. I have gotten letters back from 3 of them so far....the 11, the 10 and 9 yr old....in that order...lol
Interesting as always. I was "encouraged" to stick to printing by the end of elementary school as my handwriting was so bad. (Had to attempt to write again when I took the GREs :). Wonder what writing analysis would think of me ????
Hand written letters indeed, have saved some I cherish. Just something about pen and paper that engages the person is a different way.
Hope you enjoy your welding class Scott. An early comment I always remembered was “if you smell something burning, look at yourself first...-) I loved welding, found hands-on time changed/expanded my thinking time.
Indeed, if you smell something burning…a quick lesson was picking up something I had just cut with my gloved hand. I dropped it right quick and have a nice black line on the glove palm to remind me. Tongs to the cooling tank next time.
During our years in Africa, we had the choice of letter writing, telex, or $8 per minute phone calls. When we returned, we brought all the letters with us, plus we were given many of the letters we sent. It is a story in real time as we reread the back and forth.
Try that with email or texting. The only person I know who saves digital content is my daughter, who saved all her FaceTime calls with her beloved grandfather.
I also love sending and receiving letters and have a large tin box filled with those that I've saved (pretty much all of them going back to my high school days...ahem, 50 years ago!). I treasure them as a connection to the friendships I've had throughout in my life.
While I'm here, I want to express a thank you for a post you wrote awhile ago that featured a photo of your Pop Pop and Nana. The article was in regard to collagen and you discussed a product, Flavay. While neither my husband or I had the vaxxs, nor ever became ill in the last four years, after reading about microclotting (per yours and also Dr Kory's articles on shedding) I thought, what the heck, let's add it to our supplements "just in case". From the accompanying pamphlets that came with the bottles I learned that it might help lower inflammatory and allergic activity of histamines. Ok, cool. I thought if I'm fortunate this product might help decrease my usual allergic reactions (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, etc) during sagebrush and rabbitbrush season, which is Sept-Oct out here in the west. Guess what? For the first time in 25 years I DID NOT have any sign of allergies from sage and rabbitbrush! I waited until these pollens disappeared (always after the first freeze) before reporting my allergy free status. Yay! Another friend who has been using this product and started the same time I did still had some allergic reactions to the Fall pollens and also to hay dust. Not sure what differences we may have and I believe we're taking the same dosing (2 capsules a day).
My husband also has a positive report. An avid mountain biker, he's had IT band pain for the last 5 years after straining his leg while helping a friend lay slate roofing tiles. ugh. Pilates and proper warm up helped somewhat but he would still feel the IT band flare up when attempting long distance rides. Early this summer he noticed (this would be after using Flavay daily for 3 months), that he was able to increase his distance as well as climb steep ascents with NO pain. The biggest test is that he was able to go bike packing again...on a 100 mile bike packing adventure. No pain, nada. We think his dedication to pilates style exercises, which he's been doing for 4 years, coupled with the action of Flavay is what helped him. I realize not everyone will have as good of a response as we did, but I wanted to give you a report with some background on how this supplement made a difference for us.
Thank you so much for your delightful and informative Substack. Very much appreciated!
Please, please tell us how you know that the vaccine has injured you rather than the virus itself. I believe vax injury is a real thing but do not understand how it is differentiated from an infection injury.
Temporal association of symptom onset, identification of receipt of one or more bad batch shots, level of spike antibody, and constellation of symptoms. There is a dominance of neurological symptoms in vaccine injury. There is a lab coming to the United States, which can distinguish between spike in the body from illness and spike in the body from vaccination because of the modification of prolines in the mRNA shots.
One of the main points of the book “Turtles All the Way Down” is that no government agency or pharmaceutical company has devoted resources to aid in the diagnosis of vaccine injury or identification of vulnerable sub populations. If you don’t test a vaccine against a placebo, you have no information about what the true adverse effects are upon a healthy person.
This is good information. Always learn from you. Thank you. Didn't realize about the pineal. Would like to know, too, the difference between injury vs. infection = the degree?
Scott, loved reading this blog. Thanks for sharing. As your mom I am so proud of you. Love you, Mom
Awww geese, thanks Mom, I love you too. Scott

You might stump the analyst Bob!

Wow on both counts, allergies and IT band! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Infection comes and resolves. Injury leaves prolonged symptoms and disability.
And that was a very nice post. Beautiful and sad.
