Re: Did You Correspond Today?
I used a Waterman H-D Free Wheel Medium nib and O.S. Manganate V ink to write a reply to a first letter from a FPGeeks/InCoWriMo participant last night, and when I sent it today my box had a new letter from someone new to me, and also one from an existing pen-pal.

Got 2 in my box today!
Re: Did You Correspond Today?
3 in my mailbox today! Thanks RI, S.CA and PA for making my day.
Re: Did You Correspond Today?
I sent out a passel last week, cards and letters, to prior correspondents. Tonight I've written my first reply to a letter from an FP Geek. How gratifying!
Re: Did You Correspond Today?
Three more out the door! And one written today. I think that the weekend will be my double days for me!!
Re: Did You Correspond Today?
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.

Oh now that is the sweetest thing. Funny enough my hubby is the next person for me to write. I agree love letters are certainly best when written with a fountain pen.
I wrote a dear friend of mine. I am sure she is pretty excited to get a letter in the mail.

I have a pad of N18 Rhodia paper that I print different images onto for each letter. The paper is 8.3 X 11.7 inches, but most printers have an option for you to specify the exact size.Originally Posted by Coffee & Ink
It may not be your style, but I have a few of my standard images up on my blog for download if you'd like some to get you started.

Two out today.
Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

The postman just dropped 7 in the box. Fortunately, he also brought my ink samples. Time to get busy.
Let slip the inks of yore!

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.

Re: Did You Correspond Today?
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...

Yes. It was a perfect rainy day! Attachment 9712
Write buzzed. Edit sober.
Re: Did You Correspond Today?
No. That is not right. Whomever told you that does not know what they are talking about, and the study was likely not real or not quoted correctly. They are not funded with any "tax dollars". If you don't believe me, perhaps you would believe a current US Senator.
Today I replied to a letter received yesterday from a FPGeek. Type40, if you are reading this, your wax seal didn't make it!
I received today a letter from someone I don't know who looks to have obtained my address from the InCoWriMo site (as opposed to here in the fpgeeks forums).

As much as I am loath to believe anything from a politician, it appears I have been misinformed and stand corrected.
