Whatever happened to handwritten letters?
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 01:51 PM by Err
I miss those. I don't think I've received one in about four or five years. They're more meaningful than emails are today, IMO. :(

Sometimes technology sucks.

2. I type faster than I write...
and it's easier to read.

4. I can't write legibly.
So everything I do is typewritten. Sorry.

5. I like them, too.
Although email is great for staying in touch on a more regular basis. I still have a relative or two who writes letters. It is nice getting them in the mail. It makes me feel so special.

10. That is sooooo last century!
I've tried recently, but I just can't write legibly anymore. It ends up looking like someone should lock me up in a padded cell!

11. You just don't know the right folk.
I'd guess that about half of my Christmas cards will have them added. My little sister spent a couple of months in Arizona earlier this year, she got several of them from me and even though my writing's nigh-on illegible it was far more obviously from me than some type-written nonsense. There's nothing quite like them - lok sending them, love receiving them.
