What’s that you say? Did you produce this gem Carin or? I actually remember people doing this!
Not me. A friend.
I sadly confess I don’t know shorthand (:) but I suspect what she is so sweetly writing is: Take back your mink; take back your pearls; what made you think that I was one of those girls… Yes?
LOVE. In fact I’m tempted to get my friend to shorthand this sentiment for me so I can embroider it on a pillow where it can sit in smug defiance of dictators bearing gifts.
p.s. I adore how you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcW2mZbMS9E
OMG, Greg or Pitman? Fifty years ago my shorthand won me a coveted job offer as court reporter straight out of high school. Turned it down … sounded so boring just sitting and staring at a pad and then creating transcripts. Still have the Pitman dictionary … but that’s all I remember.
Pitman. And not mine. I never learned how but I did more or less invent my own version of fast-writing ‘shorthand’… readable only by me. (I’ve been told by the person who wrote this that it says: “We are here in a beautiful garden.”) Sounds like you count your blessings every time you think of turning down that job. (Are you still glad you did?)
Absolutely glad I did. How many BIG decisions we made at age 17 still hold true today?
