I send real live actual christmas and birthday cards, not just e-mails!! The amount that it costs though to send things these days is certainly off putting for some people on a tight budget though I am sure. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351405029101697801.post-36153546375036838092013-12-13T08:51:51.642-05:002013-12-13T08:51:51.642-05:00Elaine, I totally agree with your rant...why chang...Elaine, I totally agree with your rant...why change things because change is NOT always for the better. I do send cards, notes, letters all year long. And, while I too like the Internet, it is for long letters to other folks who don't necessarily handwrite theirs. That's OK with me as the cost of postage for some folks is a luxury. But, I never send e-cards for any reason. The cost of a card and postage is worth the expense if it brightens someone's day to get a piece of mail. Ok, I am through with my rant.Beatrice P.

They make you pump it yourself, now, and charge you an astronomical amount! Who benefits? Not me :)<br /><br />Same thing with banks! They encourage you to do everything online, or at the very least through the machines, and charge you an obscene amount for service! What service? I'm doing all the work!<br /><br />And on and on...<br /><br />I hate to see the mail service going down the same road. That is very sad. There is something very special about receiving mail at home. There's a certain type of joy in handwritten cards and letters. And, of course, that there is a human touch in it.<br /><br />Sigh...Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351405029101697801.post-312331182155339712013-12-12T12:42:17.901-05:002013-12-12T12:42:17.901-05:00Good day to you dear friend, I totally agree with ...Good day to you dear friend, I totally agree with you about the diminishing rate of mail. I will say that we have locked boxes and after being a victim of identity theft in Ca. I prefer locked boxes. We know our mail carrier and each year are probably one of a few that give her a gift card for coffee. I imagine they feel free overlooked.<br />Love the decorative boxes you shared.<br />Have a great day!<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351405029101697801.post-70114293286970588412013-12-12T09:31:48.519-05:002013-12-12T09:31:48.519-05:00I agree with you, the human element is fading into...I agree with you, the human element is fading into the past.
