Did You Correspond Today?

[ceramic_pizza]

I sent out two today and I finally got some nice envelopes so I don't need to use these business sized ones any more. One of my friends said that his dad thought he owed someone money cause I kept using those types of envelopes. haha.

Cool you have Saturday delivery still....we have Mon - Friday delivery and all home delivery ending in a few years in favour of super mail boxes. It would be nice to have Sat mail delivery. I would like that.

Our government must hasn't yet decided to address the issues of the USPS. A couple years back a study revealed that the Postal Service-as a business-is run inefficiently and utterly bankrupt. Fortunately, they are funded completely from tax dollars, so it isn't like they need to be responsible or work within a budget based on real-world mathematics or anything...

Actually, My Post Office has a sign that says they don't receive any Federal Funds...I guess just the money from the stamps, which is a tax, after all. When I ordered some stamps online recently for the first time, I was surprised to see what I thought was a charge for "shipping" (i.e. Postage!) which is a tax on a tax....but it said "Handling charge". LOL
That's one way around not taxing a tax. I hope we never lose the USPS. I think a lot losses are due to the proliferation of email. So I'm happy to see InCoWriMo and to know we can give them a boost.

I've fallen behind trying to deal with a leaky roof but I caught up today by cheating and writing my wife a love letter.

Gorgeous penmanship! Lucky wife!

You could ask Eric for your InCowriMo certificate now

Type40 sent me a letter Feb10. I need to answer it today Feb 11th. The seal made it.

Received this today from Hector while watching Brian Goulets q & a:


Tilly is impressed as am I

3 out today.

Got a batch of envelope(s) and tomoe river paper.
But to my frustration postal employees in India are on strike, starting from tomorrow. So the letters won't get mailed.
Does this breaks the InCoWriMo pledge.

As long as you write 28 types of correspondence that's all that matters, you can post them whenever, or hand them to people, or leave them on their desk etc as long as you write 28 that's all that matters. Well that's how I understand it anyway.

I've got same looking letter today ))

[Morgaine]

Just a Postcrossing day for me today... received a letter though from Philadelphia.

[scrivelry]

this one is headed to Canada....

Oh, this is BRILLIANT!

Someone here has been shoveling for what feels like months and will get a kick out of this.

(I know that people in many parts of the country have lots more snow and are laughing at what we've got, but it's a hassle when you're not set up for it. And the shoveler has been largely uncomplaining, but feeling hassled. Thanks for the laugh!)

I was super GI virus sick yesterday, so no mailing or writing.

I am mostly human again today, and wrote and sent a short letter to my Uncle. And my mailbox had one (1) incoming pen-pal letter and three (3) incoming InCoWriMo letters, including one from Australia. My first international letter.

I will try to get at least one reply written and sent out tonight to make up for missing yesterday while being mostly dizzy and lightheaded and in the bathroom.

Today I replied to a letter received yesterday from a FPGeek. Type40, if you are reading this, your wax seal didn't make it!

Glad the letter made it. Will have to send lots of letters in the hopes of a seal making the complete journey.

Lost power at about 2:30 pm on Saturday... still don't have it back and looking at the tangled mess of the lines (without a work vehical in sight) don't figure it will be back till at least tomorrow.
On the plus side. I got 16 letters in on Monday and another 7 today. Thank you all.

I will reply as fast as I can but living with a wood stove for heat, water, and food as well as candles for light, it might take me a while.

(currently at work, recharging all things electronic)

UGH! Sorry to hear it. It looks like your temps are about 60* higher than ours, but it still can't be comfortable for you; especially after several days.

[Type40]

You are correct. It isn't nearly as cold or a snowed on as other places. It's just converting life to the 18th century.

[VertOlive]

Two in today.

One of them with a stamp from "the wild, domed hills of the upper Miskatonic Valley"!

[TerraNoir]

Oh no Type40. That just sounds dreadful. I'm really sorry. I'm glad that things are getting better!
