Stinky snail mail

A while back, I saw a teenager's Facebook request that stated, "I need [your address] so I can write you creepy letters in the snail mail like old people do."  Of course I laughed, but I also sighed.  I LIKE letters.  I LIKE snail mail. I am NOT old.  I remember when we would go to the mail box every single day to see if we had received any letters. It was a happy day if we did.  My aunt was a letter writer and I "inherited" that trait from her.  I just like writing letters.  I like receiving letters.  Now, the times are changing and I write considerably fewer letters and I receive almost no letters whatsoever. I worry about the US Postal Service and about life without snail mail. So there's only one thing to do about it. "I need your address so I can write you creepy letters in the snail mail like old people do."  Happy snail mailing.

Ha, I remember when we used to exchange snail mail letters before the internet and email. I loved getting your letters in the mail! However, our communication was not nearly as frequent as it is now, so I will opt to stay with email. I understand the nostalgia, however.
