When is the last time you wrote and sent someone a letter?

I noticed a box of 80 envelopes in my computer desk and it got me thinking about how its been so long since I wrote someone a letter. The last time i sent someone a letter was in juvenile placement when I was younger.
Its definitely a dying medium of communication.
Question is in the title. Im curious.

I love writing letters, postcards, sending packages to people.
Only problem is usually the people I write, they text me responding to things I had put in my letter! Ughhhhh! I love getting mail

What is this "letter" of which you speak?
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Yeah it does take more time but I enjoy writing. Maybe because I can write faster then I type.

I type a lot faster than I write, and my hand hurts from writing. I use USPS a lot, but not for letters.

Sent a whole bunch out this summer. The only difficulty is I'm homeless and so I have no receiving address--if I know I'm staying in a town for a couple weeks, I'll get a general delivery address--otherwise, I get the letters sent to friends houses, and pick them up when I pass through town.
I have a friend who lives in another country--we decided it was more fun to send little letter/packages than to simply email. Keeps life interesting.
Also wrote and published a zine throughout the summer--mailed as many copies as I could afford to print out to folks around the world--working on printing a second run soon, than I'll start on zine #2.
So yea, I use the mail system.

When my brother was in jail.. Had to of been 5+ years ago.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Not since i was in a similar situation OP. My brother received quite a few years of prison time so i'll have to pick up writing formal letters.
Although i was informed that there are privileged prisoners who can send out e-mails via a third party pay per email program set up through the prison system where you pay for their email account and your email account and have to put funds to send and receive emails per user.
I like the idea of letters because it is much more personal than these other forms of communication which feel very impersonal for being similar.

I share the same sentiment. It does make life a bit more fun and interesting.
And yeah, its definitely more personal.

Yup, even across state lines. I don't know many who are or who have been in jail. Those that I do know expressed just how much a personal visit meant to them. My distance record to visit a family member in jail is 1420 miles.

a few years ago for my friend's birthday. we were best friends when we were younger and used to write letters to each other for the fun of it (even though we lived within 10 miles of another). we grew apart as we got older and i decided to write her a letter for her bday.

Years and years, probably since a couple years before my grandma died.
I should send a letter to one of my friends. She's the only person I know that sends letters to people pretty frequently and I think she would enjoy receiving one randomly.

i've got 4 buddies doing time right now... i'm not capable of visiting at the moment, but i do write them each once a month... i may have nothing really to say, a lot of times i just send 'em the setlist from a recent furthur or panic show & a couple lines of b.s... i also try to throw a little cash at their books when i can... they are prisoners of a war i still fight, & i'll not forget to show 'em love...
