Snail Mail

I miss the letter. Getting a letter from a friend and seeing their actual handwriting. Not generic type. I miss writing letters.

I was a note writer in school. It would be nothing to write 12 notes in a day to my good friend Nick. My girl friends and I had a notebook we’d pass between us. I miss that.

I’m actually sending out Christmas cards this year…writing in them no less. If you want one of my fabulous Christmas cards, email me your address.

I think we should start a letter-writing group. Bring back the art of penmanship.

I actually think that I'm losing the ability to write because I only ever type. When I wite anything these days it's just a scrawl...

I find that at times when I write I abbreviate like typing abbreviations or medical abbreviations and people go..."Kim, what does this say or mean?" Then I'm like duh!

I find my writings unreadable, even to me. I write little post it notes to my girlfriend and when we come home we try to cipher what I was trying to say, because I'll be damned if I knew what the hell I was thinking at the time.

Bring back penmanship?
Better yet, bring it *forward*.

Well, if we do a letter writing group, it would give a reason to go to the mailbox. I get all my bills online and the only thing in my mailbox is snail mail spam, so it might not be a bad thing.

I love getting snail mail too. My grandma sends me cards and letters every so often and that's about it these days.

My Wife is the worst about not writing back. But I like your idea about a letter writing group. I write with an actual pen so infrequently now that I can barely write legibly anymore.

And I'm not sure that I'm spelling 'legibly right', either, so apparently my spelling skills are going as well.

OMG!! I was a letter-writing-freak in high school. Remember folding them into little triangles??

I saved a lot of them. Rereading now is a riot.

I still write letters and postcards all the time. I have to type the ones to my grandparents though because they can't read my writing anymore (I put it in a large font that has cursive writing so it looks like handwriting).

I love corresponding....I hope it never goes away.
