When last did you send or recieve a handwritten letter?

**tranza** · 09-23-2008, 04:22 AM

Well, I cannot even remember if I had done that someday...

**Barefootsies** · 09-23-2008, 04:23 AM

A few weeks, maybe a month, back now. I wrote my Congressman.

**Fletch XXX** · 09-23-2008, 04:24 AM

i still write on paper.

shit i draw web sites on paper sometimes before actually doing them on computer...

**After Shock Media** · 09-23-2008, 04:46 AM

I send out thank you letters that are hand written all of the time. Email I feel is just not personal enough or shows that you care as much about what you are writting about.

**Madame0120** · 09-23-2008, 05:08 AM

Even though my handwriting has gone to shit, I still send out handwritten thank you notes.

I love that I get a sweet note from our Miss Di on pretty stationary, every week or so, just to say hello.Sure we could just pick up the phone, but there's something special about putting pen to paper - spelling errors and all.

Has he replied yet?

**Spunky** · 09-23-2008, 05:15 AM

It's been so long I can't remember

**Antonio** · 09-23-2008, 05:16 AM

about 12 years ago, my handwriting is so bad now that it takes me forever to fill in the deopist slips at the bank since I have to spend like a minute to write each word or they'll never be able to guess what my name or address is

You almost always will get a reply from them or at least the staff. They also seem to take it more seriously if it is hand written, same goes for companies. I think they think if you took the time to actually hand write something you must of had a compelling reason. Specially when it is so easy to type and press send.

Me too. I send cards and letters pretty frequently, as it's an art form I don't soon want to give up.

**fuzebox** · 09-23-2008, 05:50 AM

I can't even write a grocery list.

**Ross** · 09-23-2008, 05:53 AM

I got a thank you card in the mail today from my friends sister for buying her new baby a gift. I honestly couldn't say the last time I wrote a letter to someone. I'm only 25 but it must have been when I was at school.

**hdkiller** · 09-23-2008, 05:55 AM

never :D

**L-Pink** · 09-23-2008, 05:58 AM

My mother who lives 10 miles from me, talks with me almost everyday on the phone and sees me 2-4 times a week still sends a brief letter/note about once a month. (bless her heart)

**Zorgman** · 09-23-2008, 06:01 AM

I've got an uncle I write to in the UK, he doesn't like computers. He has no need for them.

Received letters, and follow up letter from both my Senator, and Representative within a week.

**Pleasurepays** · 09-23-2008, 06:24 AM

in the last 5 years or so, i've noticed that what used to be very nice handwriting that i had, has become completely illegible.... from a complete and total lack of writing on paper

**cherrylula** · 09-23-2008, 06:41 AM

no but I write notes and to do lists to myself all day and every day... it helps with the carpal tunnel too I have found.

I'll never give up my handwriting!

**J. Falcon** · 09-23-2008, 07:05 AM

At least 10 years ago.

**woj** · 09-23-2008, 07:06 AM

I'm not sure I ever wrote one

**Why** · 09-23-2008, 07:07 AM

my mom writes me letters at least once a month, usually about nothing... she knows i like mail that doesnt ask me for money and i live 6,000 miles away from her.

**Babaganoosh** · 09-23-2008, 07:34 AM

My grandma is still alive so I get letters from time to time. Maybe I'll write her back today. I really should do that more.

Damn I wish she'd get an email address.

**Marky333** · 09-23-2008, 07:36 AM

My last sent handwritten letter was 10 years ago. Why to bother when there are E-mails and SMS?

**Creeper** · 09-23-2008, 08:16 AM

**TubeTitans_SusieQ** · 09-23-2008, 08:20 AM

I last mailed a letter in 2001, to my grandmother before she passed away, havent to anyone since, except for holiday cards

**Trixie** · 09-23-2008, 08:30 AM

I got one recently from someone in prison. It was a sweet missive telling me he'd derived pleasure from seeing my photos in a magazine. Those weren't his exact words, though.

**Peaches** · 09-23-2008, 08:32 AM

Last week - though most of it was typed. It was from my mother's 82 year old boyfriend so I have to give him some slack for not writing everything out. ;) He sent me $100 (I have no idea why.....) so I'll be sending him a handwritten letter thanking him

I get a lot of handwritten thank you notes and send out several myself.

**Scott McD** · 09-23-2008, 08:35 AM

Hmmm, a few months maybe ??

My handwriting fucking sucks now. I hate even having to write out a Birthday card...

Wow my handwriting has gotten terrible over the years. I haven't written this poorly since I was a kid.

Damn pen and paper seem archaic to me.

**notime** · 09-23-2008, 09:33 AM

**MaDalton** · 09-23-2008, 09:37 AM
