Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
āSayā¦ letās go over to Grandmas, and Iāll show you a phone thatās attached to the wall! It has a curly cord, and rotary dialā¦ thatās this weird thing you would stick your fingers in and spin to make it work! She also has this thing called a Princess Phone! Iām tellinā ya, itās like the Smithsonian over there!ā
The cost of stamps may be putting a damper on frequent use of snail mail, especially since email gets there more quickly and itās easy to add pictures.
I miss letter writing. These days itās hard to strike up a correspondence, as no one is really interested in that sort of thing, but I love getting a letter. My niece and I used to write back and forth when she was younger, but now she is grown and living her life. I do correspond with an old friend via email, which is nice, but still, not quite the same.

These last generations donāt even know how to write in cursive. What a travesty!
Instead of a complete education, Common Core is dumbing down America!
