As in you can't tell that it's yours? Did you have a stroke recently?Quote:

Then, I have no idea why, but my mother found out and scolded me for it and I went back to my boring form of handwritten print letters.
I have no form of cursive writing outside my own name which looks pretty sweet after years of finding a masterful autograph.
My print is simply adequate. Readable, but not pretty or anything.
My signature is in print. I learned early on that cursive was pointless and never really bothered with it.
If I take a little time with my handwriting, my print is actually pretty damn good and clear. However, I usually just kinda scrawl.
I don't think cursive is "pointless." It's not as intentional as calligraphy but it can be quite elegant in the right hands. My handwriting isn't that great at all.Quote:

Not yet. There's something inscribed on Jess's engagement ring, and she wants to get the date inscribed on her wedding band, which will then be fused together.Quote:

I write cursive when I'm trying to write quickly - I don't know shorthand, so it really is my fastest means of getting ideas down.
But usually I print, and I write in all capitals. To indicate a capital letter, I just write it bigger. So it looks like this...
HELLO
And that's an awesome ring, Scar. I love stuff like that - I find that much cooler than having an elaborate mix of gold and gemstones.
My motto is, she gets the diamonds, not me. It took quite awhile to find one that I really liked. I scoffed at the cable ring idea, then I tried it on.... I was probably going to do a tungsten carbide band until I tried this one on.Quote:

Unfortunately I had to stop wearing it because I started to have a allergic reaction to it...which is odd because I had worn it every day for about 8 years before that suddenly happened.
Allergies to metal run in my family, though. My mom cannot wear any jewelry containing nickel, or she'll break out in rashes and hives.
Where did you go to get that ring? I had never heard of that style/design before, but I really dig it. It's a great choice, dude.
We originally found it at a jewelery chain in the mall. I think it was available at a couple of the various stores.Quote:

That font style is called small caps. I find myself writing in that style too sometimes and I like how it looks a lot.Quote:

It has a Mayan/Aztec feeling as the ring is unpolished silver (or a grey metal alloy of some kind) with alternating triangles of blue and red across the band, red pointing one way and blue pointing another. Each triangle is either carved or painted to look like stained glass: tiny pebbles fill the triangular "spaces" making up the triangle. It's quite striking. Inside the band the metal is horribly worn and pock-marked, as if the ring has been traveling from hand to hand for a long time. No idea where it came from, but tis mine now. :)
I do a lot of the small caps thing. I have a bad habit of mixing it in seemingly at random.
I've never owned a ring. Not even a class ring. Now that I think about it I would like to have at least one ring.
My high school class ring dissappeared during a nitrogen tri-iodide explosion.....
Back in my religious days, I wore a CTR ("Choose the Right") ring. Haven't worn one since. Jewelry really ain't my thing, though I'd wear one if married. But nothing too fancy of course, and probably not gold, because I really can't stand gold.
I have a class ring that I don't wear cause it fits me too tightly now and I don't care to fix it.
I don't wear any other jewelry except this one ring. Heh, one ring.
Along with your ring finger!??Quote:
