Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.
Iโd put it on the to do list, and it would stare at me on my desk.
Iโd eventually get a bill that sits on top of it, and then some notes, and eventually it would be lost in the shuffle.
Not unlike emails which require a thoughtful response, if I respond, it will be after a considerable delay.
Yes, and did.
Like a decade ago an online friend sent me a snack pack of local lollies so I sent her some back with Aussie lollies and snacks.
She also hand wrote a letter with how to make smores so I sent her instructions on how to make a Bunnings snag and fairy bread.
My sister sent me a letter a few years ago and we exchanged maybe 5 before I set a boundary on religious content and that was the last letter.
Generally I like to edit my thoughts and ink doesn't have a backspace key so it's one of my least favorite ways of communicating.
My grandmother used to send a weekly letter to her 6 children (a copy of the original) which was basically how we heard what everybody was up to before social media. It was definitely one way.
Depends on the content of the letter and who sent it. If it's from someone I know, I would probably respond with a text unless the letter was letting me know they decided to get rid of their phone and go off the grid or something like that. The last hand written letter I did receive was some kind of repentance someone had to do for the Mormon church. I know they had to send a hand written letter to everyone in my apartment building, not sure if that extended into the other buildings and neighborhood nearby. But yeah, they ain't getting a response, I wanna stay off their radar
I do.
Yes. My sister said my nieces love getting mail. It something unique for their era.
They are also fascinated by alarm clocks, since it is just a single purpose device and you can physically set the time on.
No NTP time server intervention.
No. I don't think mailing a physical letter and wasting time, gas, and energy to deliver it is a proper use of my dumb thoughts.
They can print out my email if they want to save it for generations to come.
Nope. They can have a message or email ... maybe a call.
