Knowing how skilled our sophisticated Edwina is, she's no doubt fluent in Human English, Cat, AND Dog. What a gal!!!

Fister must be a salesman. I'm told they can read upside down!

not only salesman can do that ! I can too !!!!!
This was very handy when I was teaching in primary schools !! I could read the kids' paper without really having to turn around . They also even hardly noticed that "teacher-was-watching" them !! In fact , I can also write a word in the air , in both directions , and also upside down !! I don't know how I learned this , I just can !
Anyone can writeon a paper in both directions ? in mirror-style ??

Lut, I'm impressed - although I can also read upside down quite easily. But writing backwards, NO WAY!

I guess it has to do with what side of your brain you use the most. Artistic or intuitiv people are supposed to use the right half side more while rationel analytical people use the left half the most.

The typesetters and printers can do that too -the old lead letters mirrored and upside down.
And I can. I have been jobbing at newpapers when I was a teenager (very long time ago)

(At least my handwriting from right to left and mirrored looks much better as it would look when I used my left hand)

LOL! Yes I can read upside down too!! But mirror-image - no way!

Edwina , my love , dontworry about the trouble that those stupid humans are getting into. Just concentrate on the ads for the local Pet Food store and point out the bargains on the Cat treats like I do! Juke Joint Joseph.

Lady Edwina, Lens Crafters is having a buy one-get one free sale. You could order the newspaper in LARGE print to help.

It is not nice how you talk to us "visually challenged" people!
If I have my nose 1 cm from the text, I can read it much bigger and better than most of you -and so does Edwina.
So without my glasses (-7 dioptries) I am the perfect person to get a sliver out of your finger

Barbara,

I'm just as visually challenged as you and Miss Edwina. I am far sighted. I can't see the hand in front of my face otherwise. They SAY once you hit 40 your eyes are the first thing to go. Go figure. I'll need a seeing eye cat by the time I'm 60.

Your nose is so close to the print!

Ah, Kimmy!!! You beat me to it!!! LOL!! Poor Ms Edwina....failing eyesight at the prime of her life...

[Randi]

Barbara, I can relate, though, mine are not quite as strong - but we can read in bed WITHOUT glasses, right!!

I did just that the other day!

Edwina, I hope you found some good adds for yummies! Now, you only need to persuade your mom to go and buy it - A PIECE OF CAKE!!

I think that Edwina was looking for the stock and mutual funds pages! Now THAT will depress her!

I vote for the funnies too!

Oh, Edwina, I believe you have a new admirer. I haven't shared your beautifu pictures with Butter because he isn't always a perfect gentleman. Now that would be an understatement!!

But he slipped in here this morning and saw your pictures. He says it matters not to him what you read, the news or the comics. If there is anything you don't like, he will gladly shred the paper for you so that you will no longer have to endure the bad news.

Admiring you from afar..........the bad Butter Boy.

I think Edwina is looking so carefully at the newspaper because she is looking for the personal ads to find a new boyfriend since she is available and spring is coming.
Does Butter have an ad listed?
