Do you have any trouble reading cursive writing? In general, no, because I learnt to read and write cursive by the time I was about ten I think. However, cursive from earlier times is harder to read because it tends to be more ornate, and sometimes American cursive is harder for me to read because it's in a different style than I was taught.

Will you be doing more or less ordering from Amazon this season? About the same.

When your parents left you alone in the house, can you remember the first thing you did? I think the first time my parents left me (and two of my sisters) alone in the house was when I was 15 and my sisters were about 11 and 13. My parents went away for three days to buy dairy cows in another part of the state and left my sisters and me to take care of milking the cows we already had, twice a day, and get the milk ready to be picked up by the local person who sold it. We also had to keep ourselves fed and make sure the chooks (chickens) were kept alive. I have no memory of the first thing we did after they left.

None. And my (91-year-old) aunt's writing on her letters is so jerky it appears to be in Dwarvish runes, and I can even (with effort) read that. :)

Very rarel Amazon, but Walmart.com is wonderful in delivering the 40-lb. bags of sunflower seeds the backyard birds and squirrels have grown to expect.

My brother was the babysitter, and we usually looked through his paper bag of comic books or turned on the TV.

No trouble with cursive. Such an elegant part of life. ✍️

Haven't ordered from Amazon in years. I shop strictly local.

Ha, can't remember. No wild parties, that I do know! 🥳

1) Sometimes I do have difficulty reading cursive, but I write in cursive all the time.

2) Oh absolutely!

3) My sister and I started to be left alone at home when we turned 12, and usually it was after school. If we didn't have any extracurricular activities, we just watched a couple of after-school shows and then took care of homework.

generally i can read cursive, but it depends on the individual handwriting.
i suspect it will remain the same. i'll continue to buy online the things i can't find locally. but there won't be any gifts exchanged, so no gift shopping.
my little bro and i were latchkey kids, so we were home alone every day.
