There are people out there who can not read/write cursive. Once a penpal asked me to re write my letter imprinted because she can not read cursive :) She never learned it.
I am also an Aquarius born close to pieces. However I would call myself a typical Aquarius and happy to be one.

Have you played SkipBo? Think it's one of my favorites followed by Trash*ed that my husbands' aunt taught us when we went to Vegas 2023.
What kinds of crafts? What kinds of Games? Favorite romance book/author? - really the only genre I read but its all over on subgenres.
