Sometimes it passes right through and dumps on the floor if we failed to latch the wooden door. It's one thing (among others)I love about our house.<br /><br />But you're right, it's not the same. Very few write personal snail-mail letters anymore. It's nice to see some Barbour mail come. :-)<br /><br />E-mail is wonderful, too. And fast! <br /><br />Do you want us to send you a real letter to make your mail pile a bit more exciting? :-)Beth Loughnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014536375199305152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-60059651011065471692010-06-23T11:57:11.754-04:002010-06-23T11:57:11.754-04:00I enjoy how easy it is to stay in touch electronic...I enjoy how easy it is to stay in touch electronically. I especially love Face Book. But I have to say that when someone sends me an actual card or writes me a letter, it seems more special now than it used to. It's the effort, I guess. <br /><br />However, spam is spam, whether it's in my email box or my mail box, it's irritating.NancyMehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821718182508483661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-6722556389942420752010-06-22T13:35:23.154-04:002010-06-22T13:35:23.154-04:00I'm kind of like a dog when it comes to receiv...I'm kind of like a dog when it comes to receiving mail. I get really excited when I hear the mail truck pull up outside, and, if I can, I immediately run out to see what's come. Usually, I'm very disappointed, because it's just junk mail--catalogs, sales flyers/postcards--or bills (even though I pay all of them electronically, some still insist on killing trees in addition to my bank balance). Occasionally my excitement is rewarded by the receipt of a check for freelance work, a wedding invitation, a graduation announcement, a copy of my next book . . .<br /><br />And that's nothing compared to how excited I get when the UPS truck pulls up!<br /><br />::sigh:: I need to get out more.Kaye Dacushttp://kayedacus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-18626606025930187302010-06-22T12:22:41.664-04:002010-06-22T12:22:41.664-04:00I don't think my snail mail has changed much, ...I don't think my snail mail has changed much, even though I do receive and write many emails daily. I love the convenience and quick feedback from emails, but it can be a distraction (says I who am heading downstairs right after this message to work on my wip).Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-66187386933122097842010-06-22T11:14:09.118-04:002010-06-22T11:14:09.118-04:00I don't usually think about it until I get a h...I don't usually think about it until I get a handwritten letter from my friend, Julie. She has a real gift for letter writing. <br /><br />E-mail doesn't seem to have diminished the amount of mail I get, but most of it is junk I pitch into the recycling bin right away. <br /><br />Wish I could do that with bills...Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.com
