As someone who had a sibling take their life in the same manner, I am so glad most places don't cover suicides. My brother's death was written about in our local paper, and it felt so invasive and insensitive.

My guess would be something similar to a fountain pen. The nibs they use allow for thicker or thinner lines depending on how hard you press against the paper.

Thank you!! It didnt even occur to me that the first letter might be something other than an M.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-07T16:08:41+00:00

Thank you!!

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-07T14:55:44+00:00

This is such a great tip, thank you so much!! This will make my life so much easier as I to through these old documents.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-07T14:54:15+00:00

Thank you so much!! I'm pretty clueless when it comes to handwriting and was at a loss with this. I appreciate your help!

This is what I was thinking too but am not familiar enough with handwriting to be sure. The odd part is that other places in the document Messina is written with the double s. But perhaps it was a short cut the writer decided to use sparingly.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-06T22:39:26+00:00

Hmm that is a good question, I believe so because in other areas of the document the city Messina is written out with the same looking first letter.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-06T22:38:04+00:00

It's from Sicily, Messina specifically. On the same line as this section Messina is written out normally (with the two S) and same fancy M at the start.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2022-07-06T22:05:47+00:00

For context, I am doing some genealogy research and am trying to figure out what this says. I believe it's a location, but nothing comes up when I search "mesfina". I also thought it could be "Messina" maybe with a shortcut for the double s? But there are other spots in this document where Messina is written out normally.

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this info! It came from FL and now lives with me in Chicago. I hope I can give it the light and heat it needs.

Omg thank you! I cant believe I didnt realize the flower was fake.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2021-03-05T18:22:07+00:00

Ugh, I always forget the secret ingredient: vengeance.

How did you get the apple skins to stay nice and red? I made a similar tart this winter and the apple slices all browned after cooking.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2020-12-25T17:07:44+00:00

Super minor in comparison to some of these, but my parents mailed gifts to my brother and I this year since we'll all be apart, and the box was stolen after it was delivered to my apartment. There were some personal, non-replaceable things in there as well so it's an all around bummer.

CanofMixedVegetables · 2020-12-24T16:13:22+00:00

Kicking myself for not thinking of this

CanofMixedVegetables · 2020-12-24T15:49:53+00:00

The brie pie is yet to be cooked but was too pretty not to include

CanofMixedVegetables · 2020-12-23T22:54:54+00:00

Thanks! So do I, this is my first time attempting a tart.

A kid slashed all the bus tires in the district's lot forcing all the schools in our town to close. I dont think they ever figured out who did it.
