Ok, I don't know what it is, but maybe some of you have it.I can no longer write with a pen or pencil!!
I'm not kidding, I just tried to write a letter and I couldn't do it. It's like my fingers were rejecting the pen. I couldn't form letters correctly and it was actually painful. I know I could have written the letter on the computer and sent it through email, but writing it on paper was harder then it should be. It dawned on me that I haven't written anything like a letter with a pen and paper in about five years.
I think I discovered a new condition ...maybe I can get some worker's comp for it or something.

Yeah, that's bad alright.Myself, I've been noticing that I've been forgetting how to type well. I guess that too much of the time at the 'board is spent on WASD and not enough in Word. Worst part is, I'm not even playing an FPS.

I just had to go down and read what topic I was replying to. As I was saying, Wiley, you can probably afford some sort of million-dollar surgery to fix that. Or, pay me half a mil and I can perform an operation involving a 2x4 and your head. I hit you until you can write again, or your arms stop working. Whichever comes first. Or second. That sounded good.

For 500K do I get a lollipop when you're finished?
Nobody else has seen a decrease in the ability to write after only using the puter to type on? I'm telling you the pen was foreign to my hand!! It was freaky. Hopefuly I don't have to write anything by hand again anytime soon.

I think you better come up w/ another name for it; Writer's Block is taken. 
I also notice this! I tend to write w/ a stick fairly often nowadays, but in highschool I always noticed it was a like my hand writing had digressed a few years whenever I first wet back to class.

I've never been good with a pen and pencil. My writing's bad and my hand always cramps up. Fucking writing sticks..

LOL Wiley. I have the exact same problem. So much in fact that I shorted my signature to just a "JM"Oddly enough, I can still draw, paint, and scuplt just fine.
But writing has become a chore...

I could never write well so there is no real change for me.On the same note before anything goes into a CAD program it gets drawn by hand first. I can make some great drawings by hand but could not draw a tree to save my life.
Jim:scuplt? the only scuplture that i can do comes out of a 5 axis CnC mill.

lol. Not so much lately. But back in the days, Ash Trays and Bongs were my specialty!
I still have a wheel for throwing pots, and an old electric kiln in storage.
