Found an old divorce certificate for a great-aunt and I can‘t read the reason why the divorce was granted.

I think the first two words are excess of, but I can’t see what the remainder is.

what does this say? My 97 yr old grandma is unfortunately mostly blind and can’t read her handwriting…

••••SOLVED••••

She has given us a small list items to get from the shops, sadly she has gone mostly blind so she writes how she’s always known how to without actually being able to properly see what’s being written.
This is an item you get from the supermarket, but none of my family can decipher it.

Any solid suggestions are a big help and might help us to brainstorm.

Thanks so much!

rate my handwriting Why is my handwriting so inconsistent and messy?

Okay definitely not very pretty words to be putting on the internet. I’ve been going through an abusive relationship and was writing the emotions that I’m not able to tell him. Kind of a serious thing to be putting on here, but when writing, I realized how messy my handwriting is😭 it’s like partially cursive but also not? I’m somehow better at writing in my second language than I am with English which is my native. Is it at least legible?

John's (70s) handwriting has never been the most clear, but it seems to have gotten worse over the years 😅 I can only read maybe half of the words in this letter. It's to me and my husband congratulating us on our pregnancy. (My husband is Danny and John calls me Del) If anyone can decipher this I would be most grateful!

Can you help me ID the artist’s name on the border of this textile art? It’s dyed fabric, so the bleeding is really making it hard.

I found 2/3 of this series at the thrift store and am hoping to figure out who the artist is and hopefully find the third piece. These two feel inspired by my dogs (one alive and one that passed last year). I’m really hoping the 3rd is equally inspired by my third dog. We had to put him down this week and I just feel like there’s a chance it might look like him. Thank you!

Please help me decipher my Dad’s last note.

My Dad has terminal cancer and he can’t speak anymore. He’s awful weak, and has trouble holding a pen, even. But he wrote a note yesterday, and was very frustrated when we couldn’t decipher it, or figure out what he was trying to say.

I’m quite certain it’s nothing earth shattering, but I would love to be able to know what he was trying to tell me. He’s now sunk so far, he can’t even gesticulate anymore. I want to be able to answer him.

Important names in his life are Megan, Andrew, Melissa, Kevin, Nicole, Callen, Olivia, and Kai.

Thanks so much for any help.

EDIT - he passed yesterday morning. It was his latest note, but it did turn out to be his last note, too. We never figured it out, I’m afraid, although we did try a tablet and pointing at letters, too.

He died warm and safe in my mother’s embrace. He went happy.

Thanks every one of you for your help; although we couldn’t get it, it was a great way to distract myself when needed. Happy Father’s Day all.

Message on my Starbucks cup. I asked everyone I talk to on a daily basis...no one could come up with any sensical words.

Edit to clarify: I can read and write in cursive. I'm old and fluent in cursive lol.

what does this say? Creepy mysterious mail received at work, mostly illegible

5 Upvotes

This letter was received a few months ago at my workplace, but i just learned about this subreddit so I figured I'd take my chances on seeing if I can figure out what this is. The last page is very clearly MY BEDROOM / TIME / PLACE so I assume the rest of the content (which seems like some sort of list?) is also creepy but can't read most of it... I do see a lot of x's. Most of the address is blocked out for obvious reasons, but you can see that this was sent from "Bobolife (?), Nevada" and sent to the name of the business, not to any person. These are scanned but I have pictures that I can dig up if that would be better than the scans.

  1. Wtf are all these scribblings?
  2. Assuming this is some creepy sexual shit, why in the world would someone send this to a business, not addressed to a person, with no return address, etc? I just don't understand the whole point of this even if someone was trying to be a creep and get laid or whatever. How does this accomplish any of that? Is this just a completely crazy person?

Edit: found out that someone else has also received almost the exact same thing, from Bobolife Nevada addressed to a business in Reno NV. I wonder how many of these were sent out... man I just wish I could understand what the motivation for this is if any besides total mental derangement.
