Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm game for a PenPal, traveling at the moment is not easy to " work in " . During my early PenPal days, I would draw on the backs of the envelopes, mainly to mess with the postman's mind. My hand writing is easy to read, since I myself might need to read it as well, and writing with my foot was impractical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'd love to write back and forth. How would we do it? Just everyone post mailing addys in a thread? or maybe start a new file in the database for people who want to write to one another rather than one with everyone who isnt really a writer?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 A contact folder in the Files section would work best since it would be in one central place and members would not need to hunt down the information on lines of posts or threads.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Alrighty, I created a folder in the Files section entitled " Pen Pals " with my mailing address. And in the fine tradition of my past PenPal'n I probably will include drawings on the back of the envelopes just to mess with the postman, I'm sure he could use the entertainment.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah I like the Database idea best (no offense :-) ) Yes! Please doodle on the envelopes!

Im also into painting alot so I sometimes do hand painted cards and stuff for special occasions... beyond that, I am jsut weird so I like to print out and use weird stationary...heheh fair warning! :-) I am actually excited about this.. i know thats childish I guess, but still... It sounds fun. -Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think that would be a great idea. Now how do we go about it. seems like most everyone lives on the East coast and I live on the West coast. I'm ready to help if you need me.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hmm, I would love to get together with ya, but I am in Alabama, but you never know! Maybe some day! Maybe some day we can start planning waay in advance and have a big get together for everyone.. We did that a few times in a music group I was in a few years ago. Everyone was all over the US, but we planned a year in advance and made a big get together, and helped each other raise funds to go.. who knows. thats a project for another day i suppose In the mean time, would you be interested in pen pals? Then register in the database on the group page! :-) > > > > Has anyone here ever considered planning a get together? Maybe > > regionally or something..

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think it sounds like a great idea too. said to put something in the files section. I think there are lots of people out there with you. I know I've seen lots of CA addresses and lots of Texas ones too. Then the midwest seems well represented. This would be fun.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I figured out how to get into the database, but the first address I put was wrong - yes I am blond - and I didn't see a way to delete it.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dont feel bad, I did that in another group once.. I wish they made it so you could edit your own entries! I think you have to have an Admin do it though. Bummer. So is the right one the one that has your city and all? --Suzanne > Yeah I like the Database idea best (no offense :-) ) > > Yes!
