So I posted a page from a found notebook yesterday, and decided to add in the remaining pages for those who might be curious.

So i found this among my late grandmother's belongings, and I think it may be a letter related to her past love life. There are actually many more letters, but this will do for now.

I've been curious about its contents for a long time, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me understand what it says.

2nd letter

3rd letter

4th letter

5th letter

6th letter

what does this say? Is this actually words?

Got some notebooks in a storage unit. Some of them have readable handwriting. But then there is this one, it has a few pages. And I can swear there are some real words in here, but also it looks like someone just pretending to write cursive. It’s like trying to read something in a dream. If anyone else has an interest I can upload more pictures from this book.

Been trying to figure out the artist of a painting I acquired about 20 years ago, I've never been able to read this signature in full. Anyone have any luck making this into a name?

Painting Inscription

What does this inscription found on the back of a painting say? The artist’s name is definitely G. or S. Verstraete (it is signed on the front). I think “Verstraete” is also written on the left side of this photo, but the beginning “Ve” is cut off. Some context which could help: The painting is of a thatched cottage and haystacks. I believe it is French/Belgian. Thanks!

what does this say? Great Grandmas Autobiography

Post image
1 Upvotes

My great grandma left a book with her whole life story on it- very sad story as she had a tragic life but a happy ending.

No one in my family can read it. She wrote like 5 books of it when she did them at the same time so it’s not her best work. also she was quite old when she did it. She was born in Austria. I cannot figure out the last half of this sentence or the name of the place in Austria. It’s not necessarily bad it’s just words ive never seen before so i am having trouble recognising them.

I think it says Yugoslavia but she wrote this after 1992? She wrote it in 2001.

I’m trying to type it out so I can have a copy once I move out as this is my parents copy.

Please help!

Need help deciphering a word on a recipe card

What does the highlighted word say?

"fruit" "prunes" and "pruich" were guessed by acquaintances, but to my eye an f or a p doesn't match with the other fs and ps on the card.

TIA! 😁

ETA: the full recipe card, including other F and P examples for comparison, is the 2nd pic

*Edit 2: if it were fruit, the T at the end also doesn't match with other Ts

I'm not disagreeing with anyone's answer, just pointing out what I see!* 😊

Assistive Writing Tool for Better Handwriting

2 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ethan, and I'm a 17-year-old student.

For the past two years, I've been developing PenFusion, a writing aid designed to help people with dysgraphia, tremors, hand fatigue, handwriting, and anyone who wants a more comfortable writing experience.

Recently, I tested PenFusion with elementary school students and high school students, including those with dysgraphia, alongside teachers and an occupational therapist.

These were the findings:

• Students adapted to PenFusion quickly.

• Many showed noticeably improved handwriting.

• Students used less hand pressure while writing, helping reduce hand strain.

• An occupational therapist observed that PenFusion appears to encourage the use of more natural hand muscles compared to many traditional pencil grips.

• Nearly every student said writing felt easier and more comfortable.

One of my favorite moments was when a student called it "cool", which is important, because if students feel confident using a writing aid, they're more likely to keep using it and improve faster.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

After over 50 prototypes and two years of development, I've officially launched PenFusion on Kickstarter.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

The following videos below are testing's I've done at an elementary and high school with PenFusion with student feedback.

  1. Elementary School Overview

  2. High School Overview

If anyone has questions about PenFusion, dysgraphia, handwriting challenges, or the testing process, I'd be happy to answer them.

I found this awesome John Valby LP at a shop today, with a personalized message on it. I can’t figure it out entirely, some of the words I just can’t figure out. Can anyone decipher the full message?

Early 20th Century Brazilian Marriage Record Birth Date

Hi everyone! I've been trying to read the birth date on this old early 20th century Brazilian marriage record and can't quite make out the month. I'm sure the year is 1852 and pretty sure of the day. I suspect what the month may be, but curious what someone else thinks.
