@jen325 I’m a graphic designer at a print shop. As such, I encounter misspellings of “stationery” ALL THE TIME. We also get a lot of orders for bisness cards, envelops, lables, and calenders. *headdesk*

I don’t know anyone’s address anymore. Only their emails. It’s weird emailing someone to ask for their address so that you can send a letter.

Also, sometimes I successfully send a letter, and they reply, and then I can’t remember what I told them. I am too used to having a ‘sent’ folder. Is it too weird to photocopy letters before I send them and to keep a physical sent folder?

Not that you need to have more places to spend money, but have you checked out Postagram or a similar thing? The hard part for me is tracking down a stamp and then remembering to put that shit in the mailbox, so the ease of doing it via smartphone makes it worth the dollar. My grandmas love the postcards I send them.

Haha, this could totally be me. I’m terrible about letter-writing (and calling) also.

P.S. It’s spelled stationery.

Oh man. This made me so nostalgic for my childhood days when I had actual PENPALS.

I keep telling people I’ll send them these free commencement invites I got (even though I see them a few times a week and they know the date time and location by now) and I finally bought stamps today after multiple weeks. Who knows if I’ll address them.

International calling, btw: Pingo or Skype!
