Does anybody here also hate the feel of holding chalk? I don’t know why, but I just can’t stand holding it. Running my nails on a chalkboard doesn’t bother me one bit, and I can powder up with chalk in a gym no problem, but I do not like holding a stick. Is this common? | ||

Holding it no problem. Sidewalk or other surface, no problem. Typing about writing on a chalk board makes my hair stand up.

I know what you mean, I find sidewalk chalk to not have the same feeling. ___________________________ The point is, who will stop me? | |||

Haven’t held chalk since childhood, over fifty years ago, but it didn’t seem to bother me then. You just cant be subtle using it or it gets that squeal going. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Where are you having to use a chalkboard and chalk in 2024??? Are you posting from the distant past? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

The solution is a tube that holds the chalk. It works like a tube of lipstick or chapstick, just turn it to advance or retract. Available in metal or plastic. Still available and cheap. Google “chalk board chalk holder tube”. . | |||

I haven’t touched a stick in 35 years. I just wondered if anyone else disliked the feeling. | |||

I'm only half and half kidding / chiding you but I haven't eaten shit-on-a-shingle for 38 years but it's never occurred to me in those 38 years to ask if anyone didn't like eating it at the mess hall especially on the first day of going out to sea which inevitably made a lot of sailors go puking over the stern. But your question is fine. Carry on. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly.

Everybody is having a good time with this one, and that is fine. I was just curious if I’m alone in this. I guess I have my answer. It’s just a tactile thing I’ve had my whole life, and I’ve never heard anyone else mention it. Velvet always did the same thing and so did corduroy. | |||
