Something In The Mail For You
Are letters outdated? Do you write letters or send a card or email instead?
As a teen, I waited with anticipation to hear from boyfriends, and letters were fun!!!
Long-distance romance by letter led to so much more!
Selfie suffices these days for teens. Reading suffices on Amazon, according to two teens who considered that reading and writing.
Has the art of letter writing waned? These days I receive emails, and mainly bills or legalise by post.
There are many types of letters one can receive. I once corresponded with a friend who went to prison.
Letters were rationed in number to my friend in prison. Letters can be a lifeline.
The queues are still long in post offices these days, and stamps and registered mail are expensive. Letters abroad are all airmail, living on an island, and take anything up to two weeks to arrive at foreign destinations.
It’s still heart-warming to receive a nice letter. I pride myself on beautiful writing in Roman round hand.
My mother was annoyed that I spent a whole day a week writing.
She complained what sort of job could I get?
Theres always grave stones ducky, she was enraged!
Post your ideas on letterwriting, gifs, memes, post office, mail delivery, and your memories of letters.
Do you write letters of complaint?
Poems, music.
Chat with friends or write a mini letter to someone here.
Most of all, enjoy.
