Blog Prompt: snail mail or email?Most definitely email. Ever since I learned to write letters, I have despised preparing envelopes. I could write letters all day long, but they would sit because I wouldn't make the envelope. I have no idea why I hate envelopes but I do. Then the other matter is the price of postage and I hear it will be increasing again soon. I do not think it is worth the money to mail a piece of paper like that. This past year I did not send any Christmas cards and it saved me abotu $50 in postage. I have told my family that they will now get birthday postcards (which I can make on my computer) instead of cards. One December, I sent my parents a Christmas card and they never got it but never said anything to me. In Februaray I got the card back saying "no such address." I called my step mom and told her that and she said that she had been living there for over 30 years and hadn't moved! I took the card to the bank and explained to them that there was a mistake and they told me that I could resend it but I would have to pay new postage! Needless to say, they got it the next time I visited them and could hand it to them in person.
I love email because I don't have to fill out an envelope, and I can write and answer when it is convenient to me. I can also use my computer which means if I make a mistake, I can always fix it easily. If it is a business email, it can save and refer to it easily. It also save room when filing and saves trees too.

Yep, email is definitely a good thing!
I don't know where I would be these days without my email. Like you I hated filling out envelopes and yes, the price of mailing anything these days is ridiculous. And I have a BIL who works for the post office.
I sent a letter to a boyfriend once and he didn't get it for 3 months...AFTER we broke up! Needless to say, I'm with ya on the e-mail!
Oh, for me the envelope's the best part of the letter:) My 92 year old grandmother didn't get the Christmas card I sent her, as it is sitting in my bedroom junk drawer with NO SUCH ADDRESS stamped in red on the front. *sigh*
Thanks for commenting on my blog, Pat. The animals did fine in the storm, although the poor goats were shoulder-deep in snow when they ventured out of their lean-to. It's all melting away now, leaving puddles of slush everywhere.
p.s. I looked at your awesome crochet finishes on flickr!
