Yeah, me to!  I hate people thinking I can be contacted anytime, anywhere, 24/7, and then get upset if I don't answer. 

In fact normal telephones were rare in the houses when I was growing up, you had to walk up the street to the telephone box/kiosk.  But if people HAD to get hold of you somehow they managed!!!

I never answer the phone at home unless it's my daughters or my good friend. That's it!! 

Remember letter writing?? A long lost art form!

Oh my goodness yes - I can't remember the last time I got a letter or in fact sat down and wrote one.  That is sad really!

We would exchange address...privately of course...then send out postcards!! My mailbox would be full of them! It was a lot of fun. Some were holiday postcards....funny ones....antique ones....

Lots of fun!

That sounds like a great idea, can you remember if there was a thread about it we can hunt for.  Or should we start another one asking who would be willing to join in???Smile

It was called Postcard Swap. I'll look but it'll have to wait until tonight. Unless you can track it down.
