Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love receiving letters, cards and postcodes.

Often received; if written by someone on holiday; days after that person has returned home.

Use this space however you like as though you are writing a letter to someone with whom you relate to in real life.

You might want to say something to that person, or persons and not be given the opportunity.

Families can be so very judgemental and cause much hurt and pain.

This is a way of writing to tell someone how you truly feel; good or bad.

Just read along if this is not your style.

Carry on with your own preference of using the forums.

This is just an idea.

Sometimes we do not know that we might enjoy something different unless we try.

Writing letters can be very therapeutic and a special way of releasing pent up feelings without the person knowing.

Lastly, in writing a letter, you need not put their name or title.

You might like to address the letter as dear friend, or dear family member; dear doctor; dear psychiatrist; dear pet.

Think outside of the square and write about what you would really like to say.

Good luck

Sophia

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Thank you so very much and for replying straight away.

I am an extremely sensitive and emotionally expressive person.

I hate the thought of hurting anyone who has already been through so much in their life no matter the circumstances.

My sister continually fed her twisted side of a story involving me, setting me up at times and then I would notice them both exchange looks, that dreaded eye look.

Enough about me.

I was trying to get onto a chat that is happening.

I need to find out do I use my username on here or another username.

It mentions real life.

This is not real life.

It is getting worse I seem to be speaking a totally different language to everyone else.

I will ask girasole who invited me.

love always too

your silly bouncing Tigger who loves giving cuddles too so here is one big one for you xxx

duh

@Oaktree

I did not see the letters above the reply box because I had not clicked on it.

I am so familiar with these options.

Unbelievable.

Grief is a very punishing emotion.

Thank you so much Eeyore.

@Adge

was correct about Eeyore being the sensible and grounded one.

The last post (found and not previously sent) was thanking you for the first list.

Can we write in colour on here, If I flicked back and saw coloured writing that would catch my attention quickly.

Oh dear never mind.

My husband asked earlier, if I had finished with the computer.

I said no that I will be on here a little while longer.

I told him that I needed to reply to my new friends...........

A kangaroo, a bear, a donkey, a master bat, an apprentice bat, a Robin, a little bee, a tiger, an owl and some others.

He said "who".

"Oh never mind I am having fun".

@Sophia1 let's get back to this. This is the frame of mind I want you to be in. I love our little adventures and want to go on a new one now. Please take me on an adventure...

All my love,

Eeyore

p.s. I hope I am not putting too much pressure on you but I don't want you to be sad.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love this Thread @Sophia1 Thanks for inviting me.

Silliness is really good (important), very Rare these days.

I haven't come up with anything to contribute yet.

So far I'm just Reading Along - I'm enjoying what I'm reading!

My childhood abuse + severe neglect - Is the main reason why I live on the entire other side of the country.

Me in WA, most of them in NSW about 3000Km away.

I do try to maintain some connections with relatives - Yet, that has always been difficult & painful.

So yes, I can very much relate to you @Oaktree & definitely to you @Sophia1

Edit: I have improved this message by including a clickable link

(Methods for Preparing Written Material)

that will take you to the post, to which I refer below, in a new Tab of your browser.

@Oaktree

Hello Meggle and others here

The link in this message takes you to a post that I had prepared in March. I hope it may be useful for some people who might wish to write longer or more detailed posts and use a few more options, in addition to those provided by the “Reply to Message” box of the forum website. One of the main advantages of using the method that I describe is to avoid the

dreaded “Authentication mismatch.........” demon.

that sometimes jumps in when writing a longish post. If this happens while you are posting an original message in the “Reply to Message” box, you are likely to lose all the material that you have typed, unless you have a back-up copy using a method such as the one that I describe.

The

"Authentication mismatch........"

issue is not peculiar to this website, but is a “timeout” function on other forum websites as well. Using this method also means that you are free to “Copy and Paste” into the message that you are preparing, from anywhere in the forum or any other website.

You can find the post on:

 Methods for Preparing Written Material of the 23 March '21

Hope that this may be of interest and assistance

With Best Wishes

HenryX

P.S.: I also have problems finding my way around the functions on the site. The reason that I post "How to articles" and added information to posts is to learn as much as I can and pass on the information. By doing this I am endeavouring to develop my knowledge of the site in it's present format in ways that allow me to pass on the information to other members and assist us all in making the best use of this forum site.

Hello dear Friends of the Forest,

Thank you to @Oaktree for sorting us out and keeping us straight and providing the list of names. 🙂

Kanga bustles around and looks out more blankets so that Eeyore and anyone else who wants to snuggle can have comfort. She brings out some apple and cinnamon muffins for the gang. She discovers a sand pit near the cave, where Tigger and Roo can play. She listens as Horrace whispers that he might be feeling a bit better, and feeds him some more medicine just to be sure.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

This gumnut baby is sitting high in the tree and often nods off so misses a lot.

Dear @NatureLover @Sophia1 @HenryX @Adge @Oaktree

I guess a long time ago I made a decision not to involve myself too much with fiction. So I have to confess I cannot follow all the twists and turns of the characters. Real Life was very complicated for me and it took all my resources to stay the slightest bit functional and sane. I did study a lot of literature, but only occasionally read it now.

I do have my own imagination and quirky playful sides.

I love the tender, fun and caring ambience of this thread.

Cooooeee from me!

Hello @Oaktree @Adge @Appleblossom @NatureLover @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Ripples @HenryX @Lilaca @Exoplanet

TAKE 2

I just lost my next contributiion to the story.

I have mastered colour though as you can see.

Thank you so kindly for the list of users and characters - extremely helpful. Needs to be put in a safe place.

Not one of my safe places which I forget.

I found my way out of colour.

Briefer version of my efforts to story:

After Tigger bounced along and landed upside down in the sand pit. He said hello to all of his friends playing there.

Roo and Kanga helped brush off the sand from his face as he could not see very well.

Tigger then smelt the muffins and followed his nose to the cuddly blanket where muffins were laid out beautifully on a platter for all to share.

He bounced off without further ado and as his paw reached out to grab not just one, but two; a stern sounding voice said to him.

What do you think you are doing

Er just helping myself to a muffin.

One or more than one muffin.

Well I thought that I might take one for after.

Hmm okay then said Grumpy Bat, Aloysius.

Aloysius was even grumpier as he still had more letters to deliver even though he had his apprentice Horrace whom he generously agreed to take on as his apprentice.

Somehow his apprentice had managed to be promoted over him.

This was the last straw.

Aloysius did not even have a user name.

(user names being a sore subject as there is confusion around which one as well as does one have more than one user name...in house issue with self)

@Oaktree and @Ripples appeared with freshly squeezed fruit juice to share.

They were both very excited to see some of their friends already there in a sheltered space outside of the cave. They had been worried that their friends would not leave the cave as there had been so much going on.

Tigger tnot noticing the two new arrivals gingerly walked around to the other side of the cuddly blanket, quietly taking 2 more muffins.

He quickly bounced and pole jumped over to a large bush where he had noticed two little faces peering out.

Hello Gumnut baby and Piglet. I have brought you some muffins as you must be very hungry.)

Before they had time to thank him for his kindness he had disappeared in the opposite direction.

Tigger was looking for something.........

Tigger also wanted to be in the good books of Aloysius the grumpy post bat.

He was going to find a (user name).

He did not how that is why he had to look for something first.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I wonder what the something was............

Any ideas?............
