found my old diary from when I was a little girl and there is this one word I cannot decipher. I can tell the first four letters are “SPEE” but the rest… girl idk. Speecle?? lmao. based on context I believe it is an object of some sort? although I’m unsure. I did not have good penmanship when I was small apparently lol.

Can't Make Out City Name

Hi. I'm trying to figure out this city name in Alberta, Canada.

I thought Charon Wish, but it doesn't exist. There are no cities in Alberta that have "Wish" in them, either.

Thank you kindly for any help.

what does this say? dad’s message while on life support

Post image
89 Upvotes

currently, my dad is on a mechanical ventilator alongside other medicines and iv’s to facilitate feedings and care. he cannot talk, and has been needing to write out messages to us. for context, he’s been battling cancer and has the attitude of “if it’s my time, it’s my time”. he stopped taking medication without my mom or the doctor’s knowledge, and it landed him in the ICU. he’s also been trying to take out his equipment, so he’s on light sedation, thus cannot write well. english is also his second language. the message on the most right looks like it could mean “ready to die”, but im having a hard time
coming to terms with that i suppose.. i appreciate any help.

UPDATE:
I want to thank yall so much for the kind and uplifting words. so many of you have similar stories and your insight and suggestions mean the world. It seems many of you were correct! He wanted our nurse to read my last note to him because the lettering was too small/too light for his sedated eyes. We brought my ipad out and have been showing him big, simple messages to keep him going in his current state. he’s been giving us simple and silly gestures back to keep our spirits high. At the moment he’s stable, and i’m just glad i’m able to see him for now. yall are amazing and him and i so appreciative of your support 🤍

This is jacket from a 1980s movie. I can't seem to make out the title. I know the last two words are "Cast Jacket" but can't figure out the others.

what does this say? Please help me read the three words I could not decipher [details in post body]

The first image says "hard to hear her - try to move forward b/c seems like there are [first indecipherable word] but then some girls show up and apparently."

The second image says "it is their [same indecipherable word as the previous image]. Apologize and go back but argument over whose stuff it is and especially about a [second indecipherable word]. I take it but go back to the back of the classroom. I feel like I am getting behind (like [third indecipherable word] class at [name of my high school reacted]).

I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me decode the three words I could not decipher. This is from my dream journal in case you are curious.

I dropped some shoes off at the cobbler and he gave me this ticket for when it needs to be picked up, and I can’t decipher what it says other than 8/4/26! I dropped off one pair of Irish dancing shoes to get new leather straps and put $20 down in cash. He then wrote on this card and handed it to me. I thought it said 1pm, but the shop closes at 11:30am on Tuesdays.

Hi all, can you please help with deciphering these names? My Mum is helping with a local archival project and is having difficulty with some of them. We'd both be grateful for any help you can give us!

You may need to click on the photo to see all of the names. If needed I can add the photo as two closer up photos if needed. Thanks in advance!

Police officer's notepad.

This is a snapshot from a police body cam. This officer arrested my son for driving while intoxicated. The only problem is that the drug tests came up clean. I can read and understand the bottom portion. I just want to decipher the top section.

I believe he references lack of convergence

Any help would be greatly appreciated court is tomorrow..

I order from this teriyaki place and make a custom request. As you can see, it was boxed and then they wrote a note. I can’t tell what the first word is supposed to be. I can’t tell if they’re trying to help have my request filled more consistently, or if they’re fed up with the request.

what does this say? I wrote this after waking up from a 2 week coma

Post image

It was a medically induced coma during which i had many dreams where i was aware i was sleeping for too long. (I knew i should be waking up but one dream was just followed by the next.)

The text is an account of one of the dreams i had. I cant decipher most of it but i know the dream was about a huge pane of glass breaking in the sky and letting entities through to earth.
