   That’s probably even more so because a family-sized batch likely requires multiple trays being switched in and out or from one shelf to another. In fact, the fantasy gathering could only result if everyone were anticipating and preparing for it fully in advance. It would never happen all by itself with everyone merely blundering into it.

   That’s why it is considered a “religious” holiday celebration, because the word comes from “religio”, meaning a vow. It is a deliberate enactment. Religion is a human response to a heavenly revelation or a miracle. It is one side of a two-sided conversation between heaven and earth. The transmission is frequently garbled and incoherent, especially on the side of the human response; but that can be improved.

   I had a similar problem with cursive writing. I developed my own style of printed characters that were modeled on typewriter font, which worked much better for me and were always legible.

   I would suggest that anyone who wishes to write or affix a signature with a historically classic pen might want to consider an actual quill of the same type used by the signers of the Declaration of Independence, that must be dipped into a bottle of ink. That is what the classic fountain pen was designed to mimic, though it incorporated a reservoir of ink within the pen body. However, they must be prepared with a blotter, and prepared to clean up extraneous drips of ink that may spoil what they are writing or stain their clothing. Ballpoint pens and felt-tip markers were designed to obviate such faults. For those who feel that the ballpoint line is too uniform, the felt tip of the other can be trimmed to a shape that enables some calligraphic line-width variability.

   Cartridges?! A classic fountain pen is filled through the nib dipped into a bottle of ink using a small lever on the side of the pen body which operates a miniature pump. However, for your cartridge pen you might refill your cartridge using a hypodermic needle to transfer ink from the bottle to the cartridge.

   In order to look at the actual list, one must select the alphabetic buttons A through Z. Thus one can review literally hundreds of inhibiting factors. This is the comprehensive listing to which I referred.

   If your green beans are indigestable, you haven’t cooked them long enough. I boil or steam mine, or microwave them in a bit of water which is essentially the same process. I eat them as a plain vegetable, so I don’t know what sort of casserole you prepare. In any case, I have digestion problems with onions, and bacon isn’t kosher, so we obviously have different views of how to prepare green beans. However, I can still wish you a thankful Thanksgiving and a hearty appetite.

   There’s no implication here of Nancy’s opinion of her daughter — just a tremendous relief to hear that someone else outside the family independently holds her in such high esteem. In some degree, it reflects Luann’s own insecurity that impels her to wear a “blank slate” message on her shirt.
