445. Letter Stationery Sets

Sun Nov 18, 2012, 08:54 AM

Nov 2012

I just went looking for this and couldn't find any. My daughter is in Basic Training and we have to WRITE to each and SNAIL MAIL our letter. She is not allowed to have a COMPUTER in Boot Camp. So much for technology.

Sure I could type it out on my computer, print it out, and mail it to her, but SHE can't. Besides, a typed letter to your family is very COLD and IMPERSONAL. Fortunately, she is 28 years old and was taught SCRIPT, so she will be able to read my handwriting and I hers. I have heard some people say that even printing will become obsolete since it will be unnecessary because of the Net and computers.

Well, besides this Military example, what if you lose POWER, as in a natural disaster? We were in NY for Sandy. I could still WRITE a letter without power if I had to. The mail (obsolete Post Office) was delivered everyday even with the Hurricane. Plus even with the cell phone problems then, her LAND LINE phone still worked.

It is not just food items going away.
