Spend less time on my virtual life and more time living real life (read all 11 entries…)
While I enjoy... 1 month ago

communication, there are kinds I am better at…

Face to face is the best by far
The phone works for me as well…

As for the other types, I fail.
In years past I used E Mail a lot, around mid 2006 I backed away.
Keeping in touch with many people using E Mail, typing them all the same news lost its appeal
Chat is something I’ve never used much
and snail mail is out of date…

Have I missed out on some things I could have nurtured?
You bet I have.
Have I lost some people due to this?
Yes, I have had people quit talking to me because they took it personally…

I do talk virtually though.
Here I talk to many and value the friendships I’ve discovered.
And hope to enjoy more friendships with others I would never have met except paths being crossed here.

I hope "snail mail" never goes truly out of date

it’s such a happy feeling to open up the mailbox and find some “real mail” waiting for you.

There are always those 43Things postcards to look forward to getting.
And the occasional special card or present from a thoughtful member.
This time of year
most likely disguised as a 43Things holiday card…

You know

I think it is exactly the same for me. My brother is constantly giving me hell for not being consistent with emails, but I’m happy to talk with him on the phone and especially happy to see him in person. I rarely use chat, except with my daughter and a couple of friends. And I love yapping here. 43T feels like home and it doesn’t feel right if I don’t visit with friends here.
