I've had written prescriptions for my cats. For myself, can't recall either.

Was it legible?

For my business I convert all paper invoices to digital. It's great not having to have file cabinets full of files and boxes of files that I am required to keep for X number of years. I started doing this in the early 2000's.

LOL .

Months ago I went to the dentist, and he was close to dismiss the appointment, because the PC won't read the xrays' CD-ROM.

This ad in my bookbub daily email. Marder? Morder? Merder? Why censor the word on a murder mystery?? And what's the point of censoring when it's still entirely clear what the word is?

Plus doing this sort of thing in tags on social media and fanfic sites makes it harder for people who do want to block it.

I think it's from a misguided concern that some tool (fool maybe) censors content based on words and that the presence of the word murder will trigger censorship, while m*rder is safe

Get rid of the word sassy. Nobody wants to read sassy books.

On the bright side, at least it wasn’t “unaliving”?
