Does anyone still write letters?

i am still writing snailmail... :) i feel that it's much more connected and sincere or something, because of my own handwriting and bringing it to the post office - giving extra effort to reach someone.. My cousin (the sister i never had) and I is still a big fan of snail mail, and she lives far away from me. so we make sure that once a month we would write each other a letter. so that, she'll still be receiving something from the post office. LOL. :p but we do chat over yahoo messenger a lot. and we almost write the same things we talked about in chat. heheh ain't that funny? I still feel the fun receiving a letter, and sit down and struggling to decipher the hand writing. and looking for a pen and paper for your reply.. LOL .. It's old fashioned, but it's much more personalized. :)

Hi mac...I don't write letters mostly due to the time factor. However I still send cards through the mail and I still send thank you notes. I think it's wonderful that you were writing to a nephew who was in basic training. I tried to write to my brother when he was in the air force also. I think that it's a way of letting people know that you are thinking of them and that the recipient does get excited to know that someone thought enough of them to send something. The problem is that it's so much easier to send off an email or an ecard these days. And while it is nice to receive email from someone it's doubly exciting to get something via the post office.

When I need to, I still do. Though I'm not used to it anymore.Sometimes, my fingers become stiff.

I think writing letter has become some what outdated but myself I would prefer a letter over email or instant message anyday. And as you are saying when someone you love is in the army I think you must have to write letters. I guess a lot of things have chenaged but I feel there will never be a time when people do not write letters. I guess it just depends on the person.

I usually only write Christmas cards lately. When I didn't have a family, I wrote letters to the widows in our church just because I thought they would like a cheery note from time to time. I was very surprised when a couple of months ago I received a whole envelope of letters I had written during the six years that we did not have children. I read one of the letters today which was about how I felt being pregnant, working, our pets, etc. That letter was about 25 years old. What a trip down memory lane!

no... I dont even know how to write LOL But, I think we should try to write some letters to our self or to our descendants to show something... (just like KNOWING. LOL ;)DD) But we should teach our children to write...
