Some of the things she wrote raises eyebrows - she never complained in person to people around her - but unloaded her troubles on her friend - and I've never knew her to be "snarky" but some of her comments are truly that! I'm uncertain I actually want to "have" these old letters!Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-80566996947227326402014-03-01T22:09:10.771-08:002014-03-01T22:09:10.771-08:00When I think of all the letters I used to write--a...When I think of all the letters I used to write--and then realize how impossible it seems now to even do so much as connect a stamp with an envelope--I wonder how such a change has overtaken us. Yeah, I can see how email makes life so much easier...but one change in computer programs or online services and poof! Those years of email correspondence go out in the ether! We are leaving no document trail of our personal history for our descendants besides a governmental collection of dull, dry "vital" statistics. We've let ourselves be reduced to that :(<br /><br />*steps off soap box*<br />I can see how letter writing can be a great outlet, Far Side. And yeah, I'm with you on emailing...so much easier--and immediate!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-2913757768336954502014-03-01T22:01:40.661-08:002014-03-01T22:01:40.661-08:00And I can even hear her saying that, Wendy.
