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

Dear Forest Friends,

I was not aware that we also had a username on the forums called "Kanga" - thanks for that information, @HenryX .

@Oaktree to my view you definitely fit in here to the forums and are a lovely member. 🙂

@Adge you've given me several laughs regarding eating Henry Rush, etc 😄

Kanga checks on Horrace this morning and he tells her that he is feeling quite a bit better. This may be to do with the fish burger and the fact that no beetles were eaten last night. Roo jumps up and down in delight at the fact that Horrace is feeling a bit better. Kanga spies a toaster in the corner of the kitchen, and starts toasting crumpets for all the gang. She hasn't forgotten the sugar water for Little Bee, or the fairy bread for the silver fairy. Sooty has eaten all the cream and is lying stretched out on a small armchair. Eeyore has discovered thistles growing in a corner of Tigger's secret garden, so is happily munching them. Kanga is not sure what Henry Rush likes to eat, but has carries him outside to the garden to choose what he likes.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Thank you @HenryX for a response that was carefully thought through.

Time taken on presenting clearly shown.

You also responded to different friends of the merry troupe with kind comments on your observations.

(wonderful as clearly indicates that you are reading and following the thread.) Sophia feels happy about this.

Your trip to Cambodia coming to a sudden halt would have been so disappointing, I can only imagine after going through being vaccinated for everything under the sun. Valid reasons.

I also liked the way you compared the numerous kinds of vaccines and risk along with the current questionable vaccines available to varying aged group people.

As I mentioned before, media has a lot to answer for yet again.

Self questioning is an outcome of therapy and is part of the work in assisting discovering more about yourself.

The depth that one goes to in therapy measures the intensity of feelings rising to the surface.

Long term patterned thinking can be changed if the person is prepared to be open to change.

Some people can just not cope with change. I am not inferring that this is the case for you.

It will take ongoing work and acceptance of the new.

Good luck.

I am sorry to hear about your pain. Physical pain further exasperates mental pain. In some cases the mental pain is there to begin with hence the increase in symptoms. In other cases the physical pain brings on mental pain. A vicious circle.

Movement very important yes.

I hope that we hear more about Henry Rush. Dear Henry Rush, your merry troupe of friends would love to have you join in on their adventures in your own style.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Hello dear friends.

I have been carefully thinking of my offerings for the next part of the story from my perspective.

Life of course interrupts; tasks to be done; calls to be made; movement and exercise in between. Meals need to be remembered.

How impudent of life to interrupt this space.

I received another unauthenticated ticket thingy. I don't even read the red alert box anymore as have now received so many.

I remembered @HenryX advising me that this occurs when taking too long in posting. Haha well that describes me.

Hence I find a ticket when I return to continue.

This time, however, I copied what I had already written which was quite a large amount and now will be able to paste into a new window.

Thank you Henry Rush, our clever beetle.

I will now end this post and return to my story, hopefully still in holding bay waiting to be pasted.

Can you handle a few trolls ... will need an old bluestone bridge ...for the acoustics ...

Very interesting and love the fact that all of these years later the old bluestone bridge draws a choir to sing beneath.

The acoustics would be quite wonderful with the water nearby as well.

Wonder what the platypus was thinking?

Hmm we could create a space for a platypus as our numbers are decreasing.

Trolls fascinating also. They should be honoured that the trolls allowed them to enter let alone pass through when finished.

Lovely to find more of our story.

Thank you so much @NatureLover

Dear Friends of the one hundred acre forest

An update for you all on where some are and some are not.......................

@Oaktree

Eeyore was upset and self questioning himself.

Please trust your instincts and come back to play Tigger said out loud to himself (Tigger believed by speaking out loud, the powers that exist within and beyond the universe, would enable the person to whom the comment was addressed, in this case Eeyore, to hear what was said.)

White Rabbit was some time ago witnessed digging himself a very deep rabbit hole and disappearing down it.

Question:: Was White Rabbit constantly referring to his pocket watch? If this is the case the answer is that White Rabbit is in the wrong story. Hence he has disappeared.

Owl has now flown the coop. Owl has given a handwritten valid reason which has been accepted by the board of directors not yet named.

Applications for a position on the board are now open.

Please refer to our efficient organisers, @Oaktree and @HenryX ; @NatureLover

Little Bee, also appears to be needed elsewhere and has moved on. Though not stated in writing, reasons are accepted knowing her circumstances and freedom of choice of course.

Gum nut has been noticed and is happily trying to encourage, wake up some, to join in on the fun.

Lovely story about a beautiful bluestone bridge...............thank you @Appleblossom for giving the letter writing turning into an ongoing story a different touch. Beautiful.

Christopher Robin has returned @Shaz51 and all have been informed to welcome her back.

Roo is still referred to by our lovely Kanga @NatureLover even though Roo does not seem to be present anymore.

Aloysius has been very quiet or perhaps he was not being paid attention to so has been sulking.

I did read that he delivered a card from Owl to Horrace. Or have I already referred to that. I dare not look back as I will probably end up with another red box alert about mismatched ticket thingys.

Beetle has written a letter, taking a considerable amount of time thinking about what to say. Thank you Henry Rush @HenryX

Horrace appears to be in fine form....

I wonder what else was in the fish burger. He was definitely making a statement about his choice of food, defying anyone to question his choice of food. @Adge

The multi-lingual sleek black cat with green eyes in company with a long silver haired fairy with wings that sparkled. This fairy was dressed in a versace gown matched with prada boots possibly with a handbag accessory made by Gucci. Still waiting on confirmation about that fact. Said angel has also been heard to speak or recite in Latin.

@Flax

The smaller group of friends were so happy to have their Christopher Robin back but were missing their cuddly Winnie the Pooh Bear.

How could she leave us all of this time on our own, they thought individually, each with their own thought wording.

Now Tigger, meanwhile had mentioned about his new extra shiny, special edition, very fast, very sleek , super duper motor bike.

There actually was a lead from the end of that letter.

@Adge Horrace wins the prize for noticing and offering an answer to what the number plate might say..

Whilst we appreciate your efforts and your letter is very important to us, at this time we have to advise that your answer has been considered closely, however is

wrong

Does that sound familiar appreciating efforts?

Cannot get rid of the colour again.

Here we go around the mulberry bush again......

What his band of fewer friends did not know was that the secret hut in the secret garden which Tigger was not ready to tell his friends about, was not the hut that his friends had found. That was an additional hut as a camouflage.

Tigger's secret hut which led to something far greater and magnificent than any of them had ever seen could only be entered by using a secret password....

Tigger would love to have everyone gather together in front of the tree in the one hundred acre forest so that they might have a discussion. Please reply to Tigger if able to attend the meeting as in virtual meeting in virtual letters.

Tigger

ps Piglet made an appearance to let us know how she was feeling. We will allow her as long as she needs of course as Piglet is so very important to all of us. We are sending some flowers to let you know that we are thinking of you with love. A card will be sent around to be signed. Eventually this will hopefully be delivered by Horace our apprentice post bat whom I believe has achieved a diploma in the course of posting.

🙏🏍

Cannot find the flowers 😣😫😒😞😟

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Well the copy and paste scenario to outwit the mismatched ticket thingy has not worked so Tigger needs to go back to the previous post and edit.

Apologies in advance.

Hello to Everyone

@Emelia8 @Adge @Meggle @NatureLover @Sophia1 @Anastasia @Flax @Exoplanet @Appleblossom @Lilaca @Snowie @Ripples



Henry Rush makes the suggestion to Tigger that, to come out of colour, back to black script, we do the reverse of getting into a colour. When you want to change to black from colour, go to the “Text Colour” panel and select black. Henry often checks to see if a colour is right and changes for deeper or lighter, or another colour in this way.

By highlighting a section of text, with the left-mouse button, and then selecting the desired colour, a complete section of text can be coloured. You do then have to re-select the next colour or black, as desired, for what you want to then continue writing.



When preparing a message, in the Apache OpenOfficeWriter that he uses, before “Copy and Paste” into the “Reply” box. Henry doesn't open the reply box until he has proof-read the message and is ready to do the transfer by “Copy and Paste”. It is the “Reply” box that times-out, rather than the script of the message.

Best Wishes

@HenryX Rush

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Dear Friend @HenryX Rush

Woo hoo I managed to get your friend name green.

Now I will try the instruction on how to get out of colour.

Fingers crossed.

Woo hoo

This is wonderful, thank you so much.

I work and learn and actually have more interesting conversations in reality with one to one basis.

The Apache writer I might leave alone as prefer not to download anything to desktop pc.

Husband is administrator and dreads it when he sees me pointing my finger at anything technological.

This includes far too many remote controls.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Dear Friend @Shaz51 and @HenryX @NatureLover @Adge @Emelia8 @Oaktree @Flax @Appleblossom @Lilaca

I have of course noticed the decline in numbers and attempted to write them into the story from a humourous point of view, at the same time respecting their wishes to no longer contribute to the story.

So I ask you all to write to me one more time and let me know if you still wish to contribute to this story, start another one, write letters or move on elsewhere.

I am so thankful for all of your efforts and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I simply love being silly.

It is the opposite of suffering with depression or crying with grief, attacked by anxiety.

I have attempted to include the mental health side within the story also.

I am not upset with anyone.

I also understand that you might not be up to this at the moment.

You also possibly are fed up or bored silly.

A zillion of reasons.

What I need to say is that, it is not helpful for me or those people who feel compelled to hit the support button to keep on this way if I and perhaps a couple more are writing and or supporting.

So let me know and we shall either champion on or say adieu to the writing and receiving letters via virtual post.
