Do you still write letters?

That is a habit that I love to receive and send to family and friends. Some of my family & friends don't have a computer or cell phone therefore the only way to keep contact is to write them. Take care Snow

I still do the snail mail letters. I have penpals all over and we like to go to the mail box and get mail still. I know I do. I get so disappointed when I don't have mail. I do the internet thing too but mostly if I need to let someone know something now than later or time slipped away from me and did not get some kind of a greeting card out.

I like to write. But I have not written a letter to anyone in many years. I write in my folders on a regular basis. Almost everyday I am writing something. It might be poetry, short story,just about the day, a plan to do something. I usually write things out first, then I go to the keyboard and type it up.

I love writing... and I have penpals, so I do still write personal letters and send cards through the post, I actually like it more than email as it is that much more personal, besides the fact getting a letter from a friend through your door rather than a bill is heaps better too :) I do email people but very rarely these days... I think email is for quick response... I text my b'f all the time, through the day and only really use the phone to call friends occasionally or my mum :)

yes the conventional letters are gone and replaced by emails and ecards because its more convinient and expressive so i also use the online mode

I honestly haven't written a hand written letter in a long time. In fact, the only times I have sent letters out through the mail were thank you letters for graduation money or scholarship awards that I have received. I mostly keep in contact with people via the internet or through phone these days if I'm not actually seeing them in person.

not really it is so much easier to write emails and communicate via the computer that I dontwrite them. I really just prefer to talk on the phone or to write on the computer. I dont have very good handwriting in the first place.

I still write and send cards to friends and families. Not all of them have internet access and some old family members don't use the internet. They would also love to hold the card or letters I sent. As if it has a deeper meaning in it that just read it over the web.

Hey missy! I love your new sexy avatar!Of course I still use the "old fashioned way" of sending cards, notes, letters! But, mostly to my Mom, because she refuses to get a computer and then there's my SSD Medicaid Case Worker who I have to send a friggen check to every friggen month! (And don't let me get started on how I have to pay back $447 a month for the worst medical care in NYS!) So, yup, there still are times when I have to send "snail mail"! Most of the bill paying that I do I do online! So, once in awhile I do have to use "stamps" and walk to a "mailbox"! Wow! That does sound tough! I have to walk all the way to the end of the block! And I don't usually even go, I send my boyfriend!

I enjoy getting cards and letters in the mail. I wrote pen-pals up until very recently. Getting a hand written letter is so much more personal than getting and e-mail and it is always a thrill to open the mail box and see something other than junk mail and bills in there.

I am one of only three people in my family who have a computer, so I still have to write letters to the majority of my family.

Hi Missybear, Yes I still write letters for my family and even for my friends. But of course it will take extra effort to do it. With the advance technology that we have right now—writing letters would mean a lot as it’s personalized. It’s only seasonal that I do this.

it's long since i last received a personal handwritten letter... and again, i can't remember when i last wrote one... obviously, handwritten ones had their special appeal to everyone... i really miss that nowadays...

Honestly, I don't write letters anymore. But I would love to have someone write me letters once in a while. I think letters will always seem sincere and beautiful even when there's the comfort of e-mails, online cards, text messaging,etc. I would love to have pen pals but I guess, it's not practical anymore especially during these busy days.

I don't write letters anymore since, as you've said, there is internet which is faster and easier than going through the trouble of dropping by the post office. But I think we should maintain the traditional letter writing cuz, after all, it's where the e-mails started.
