Every have one?

I had one when I was a kid. I think we only exchanged a few letters but that was it.

But I've been re-reading a favorite book "The Groucho Letters: Letters to and From Groucho Marx" and am inspired to send out a few hand written, maybe typed, letters to people. Maybe even some I like.

Just curious if any of you have had a pen pal or have had someone to whom you write or wrote a series of letters and are not your congressperson?

kinda like what we do right here-no?

i think online forums replaced that.

but yeah, in answer to your question, when i was in 4th grade.

I sort of remember doing this way back when I was a kid.

Nowadays, with facebook, email, and what not.......seems sort of dated.

Yes.

JadeRose and wheelrite are **** pals.

^typo -- "pen pals" -- sorry

There was no way this thread wouldn't "gay up" quick!

Well...I've had a couple former clients who wrote me from state pens. I wouldn't call them "pals", however.

#6 Looks like a simple Freudian **** to me.

Yes, I agree that with all of the instant electonic communications the art of writing a letter may be completely outdated, but there is something about getting a letter. You read it over and over again, hold on to it, and maybe let others read it to.

Whereas e-mail, forum postings, et. al., seem to lack a genuineness about them. Much less personal and lack a; I’m searching for the right word but care comes to mind. A handcrafted letter written on fine paper is something to cherish.

Since the reaction here, so far, has been less than enthusiastic, it gives me more inspiration to start writing.

duuuude... you got'a stop hit'n on me on a public form bro
