For the younger ones with a propensity for the written word

[. ._]

Have you ever written a letter?

Put pen or pencil to paper, written a message, put it in an envelope (with a stamp), then put it in the mailbox?

You old fogies may laugh, but I'll bet money that there are people that frequent here that have never written a letter.

Well, whippersnappers? Have ya?

Have you ever written a letter?

Does my census report or income tax count? How about letters to Santa?

[costermonger]

If school sanctioned pen pals count, then yes. If they don't, then no.

Hmm, let's see:

Handwritten: One letter back in 4th grade to a school set up pen pal. Come to think of it the teacher took care of the mailing.
Typed: One interview thank you letter.

I didn't count resumes and their cover letters, of which only a handful were actually mailed. (Either I delivered in person or people preferred e-mail.)

So, ISTP, what's my score? 0, 1, 2?

Whats a stamp?

[Wigwam Willie]

I write letters, or what I call, requests to my guests all of the time. Does that count?




The world is my canvas!

I have never written a letter and sent it (except for the grade 5 pen pals)

I have written a lot of letters to a select few girls that didn’t go through the mail

A friend of mine writes letters all the time, she writes to her relatives all over the world many of them she has never met. I think that’s pretty neat and I'm going to write someone one of these days.

Moms and grandmothers really like a hand-written letter. If there is a photo in it too, it'll end up on the fridge. And they'll bail you out of jail that much sooner too! (So I hear.)

Just a little hint to the younger ones.
