Riddle Me Mail - the November edition

Help Yourself to Happiness

Picture

Shorthand
Do you recognize (or know what) that squiggly writing is on the November art panel?

It's shorthand. Shorthand is a collection of symbols that represent sounds, words, and phrases used for rapid writing. It was popular before tape recorders and video were so prevalent. It's handy for note taking and writing secret messages (though whoever gets the messages needs to know shorthand, too). It could also come in handy for private notes to yourself.

The bit I used on the above panel was from an old instruction manual. I've used a lot of the pages in collage work. When stumbled on the page with "486. Help Yourself to Happiness" I couldn't resist using it on this thanks•giving panel.

If you're interested in learning more, here's an introduction.

What about that tap class?
I'm hanging in there. Last week we learned the "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" step.

A lot of people have asked, "Why tap lessons?"

My answer is, I really don't know. I saw the listing in the Adult Ed catalog and it caught my eye. I love learning new things.

Dance is a fun way to exercise and there's music. So why not!

Don't forget about the survey!

Riddle Me Mail in it's current form, ends at the end of this year.

Going forward, I am in the planning stages for the next edition of Riddle Me Mail, and I'd love to know what you think. What you want.

What do you like about Riddle Me Mail? What don't you like? How about the cost? Do you use the stationery? Do you like getting the postcard first?

I sent out a survey. If you haven't had a chance to send in your answers, there still time. I'd love to hear from you.

If you want write to me, please do. I'd love to hear from you. And I promise to write back:
