Now with the internet , phones and texting do you still write letters or send cards?
I still do on occasion but I mostly send cards on line now.
How about you?

I enjoy getting cards and letters in the mail. I wrote pen-pals up until very recently. Getting a hand written letter is so much more personal than getting and e-mail and it is always a thrill to open the mail box and see something other than junk mail and bills in there.

It is kinda like a surprise every time you get a letter be course you never know whats in it till you open it.

I love writing... and I have penpals, so I do still write personal letters and send cards through the post, I actually like it more than email as it is that much more personal, besides the fact getting a letter from a friend through your door rather than a bill is heaps better too :) I do email people but very rarely these days... I think email is for quick response... I text my b'f all the time, through the day and only really use the phone to call friends occasionally or my mum :)

The main reason that I have a phone is for talking to my mom and emergencies.
I really don't like to just talk on the phone for no reason.
I agree that letters are more personal send by mail than internet

I honestly haven't written a hand written letter in a long time. In fact, the only times I have sent letters out through the mail were thank you letters for graduation money or scholarship awards that I have received. I mostly keep in contact with people via the internet or through phone these days if I'm not actually seeing them in person.

It's the easiest by internet way but somethings you just need to send by mail I think.happy

I still do the snail mail letters. I have penpals all over and we like to go to the mail box and get mail still. I know I do. I get so disappointed when I don't have mail. I do the internet thing too but mostly if I need to let someone know something now than later or time slipped away from me and did not get some kind of a greeting card out.


myLot reputation of 97/100. missybear (3130)   ranked 60 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

if you're not in a hurry then it's nice to do it the old fashion way and send letters by mail.
I think it's more personal when you send it by mail.


myLot reputation of 86/100. KarissaAngel (264)  2 years ago

I totally agree with you. I have been penpalling for years and love it. After I get all re-located back home to Oregon from Oklahoma, I am thinking of looking up some more. I enjoy it.

yes the conventional letters are gone and replaced by emails and ecards because its more convinient and expressive so i also use the online mode

That is a habit that I love to receive and send to family and friends. Some of my family & friends don't have a computer or cell phone therefore the only way to keep contact is to write them.

Take carehugs

There are some beautiful cards that are so lovely that I wish that I could make'em bigger so I could hang them on my wall. I enjoy this discussion and thanks for responding back to me.

I like to write. But I have not written a letter to anyone in many years. I write in my folders on a regular basis. Almost everyday I am writing something. It might be poetry, short story,just about the day, a plan to do something. I usually write things out first, then I go to the keyboard and type it up.


myLot reputation of 97/100. missybear (3130)   ranked 60 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

I like to write too that's why I keep little journals to write into.

I don't write letters anymore since, as you've said, there is internet which is faster and easier than going through the trouble of dropping by the post office. But I think we should maintain the traditional letter writing cuz, after all, it's where the e-mails started.wink


myLot reputation of 97/100. missybear (3130)   ranked 60 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

Definitely, I still like to write and send cards on special occasions

not really it is so much easier to write emails and communicate via the computer that I dontwrite them. I really just prefer to talk on the phone or to write on the computer. I dont have very good handwriting in the first place.

I'm not much of a phone person, i rather write or e-mail

it's long since i last received a personal handwritten letter... and again, i can't remember when i last wrote one...

obviously, handwritten ones had their special appeal to everyone... i really miss that nowadays...


myLot reputation of 97/100. missybear (3130)   ranked 60 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

I still have some letters from old friends and family. it's kinda nice to read them every once in a while
