Please answer today's question on your own blog, any time until next weekend. Just link to this blog (or to this post) so I can follow the progress of the discussion.
And the question is: When did you last write or receive a real snail-mail letter (you know, in an addressed envelope)?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI received an actual snail mail letter just last week, from one of the first blogging friends I ever met. She sent me a handpaintd card featuring Chinese lanterns, which she knew I liked.
By the way, I am delighted to have your offer of instruction in how to link to a post. My email address is: scottishlassnd@yahoo.com. Thank you.

I can't remember off hand, but I've posted and linked to you. Let's see what happens. :)
ReplyDeleteAaaah, looks like the question got tricked from my post on previous weekend wandering ? ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers !!
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence that is. By the way, I've emailed the instructions to you, so let me know how you go.
Cheers
David
Thank you, Sandee.
ReplyDeleteI really like the woodcut you illustrated the post with.
Cheers

Hi Cuckoo,
ReplyDeleteYou can certainly take the credit for that one!
Cheers

Hi David, this one seems to be really interesting. I remember writing something similar, regarding personal mails.. chk it out if you can...
ReplyDeleteBills don't count, I suppose?
ReplyDeleteI do receive handwritten letters because I write them too. Some time ago I found a handwritten envelope which contained a small water color of the artist's cat I had admired on his blog. That was a real surprise. I love snail mail! :-)
Oooooooooooooh what a nice surprise, to see my pal julie marie here with a comment....the words "What a small world!" spring to mind.
ReplyDeleteI love sending snail mail as i get a buzz out of decorating the envelope!
Strange but true! LOL
(A bit like me!)
Duh, David, Gotta be when I sent out last year Christmas Cards(if that counts)lol.
ReplyDeleteAnswered this here cause might be off line from Monday - Puter going doctors.
Dont forget to check out my blog to see French Market and the 1st post where the swans are going to tonight.
As difficult as it is to imagine, I have relatives who do not have access to the internet. I know, unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteI'll post on this later this week. Hopefully doing better than I did with the last question!

ReplyDeleteI have no idea at all, it's been that long ago! Years, probably!
ReplyDeleteNot in too damn long, that's how long!!! ,-)
ReplyDeleteI love snail mail. I get started, and fall off. I am a klutz. Let's see, any more confessions, while I'm at it? ,-)
Ohhh, I will try to do a link thing to this entry, in my own regular blog, when I put this question in. But since I'm not awfully techy, I don't guarantee it will work.

David-I posted from my blog about your question! And I thanked you in the post that followed =)
ReplyDeleteI tried! :-)

The only time I ever get snail mail is twice per year: on my birthday and Christmas. Apart from that, it's only the "official" mail - bills, bills, bills, and the occasional bill.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's also my fault as I never write to anyone, but this is just as interesting as last week's question - shows how much we rely on technology these days. :)
Cheers,
David Webb
Alrighty. My post is up! TM

Found you through Nanci-Mari. My post went up this morning and I linked to both of you.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was interesting. The whole question of how technology has changed things during my lifetime interests me.
