TRUE LIFE SITUATIONS:   WILL MAILING A LETTER BECOME OBSOLETE?

TRUE LIFE SITUATIONS: WILL MAILING A LETTER BECOME OBSOLETE?

I thought of such as this when I was mailing off payments of some recent bills. Everything is made now to pay on-line and this leaves our U.S. Postal service in quite a dilema. I read where at least 35,000 jobs will be downsized because people are using tech instead of text to write, communicate and send even the birthday cards I adore sending and receiving by the postal service. In case you haven't seen any news a consolidation of the government postal offices services will; or already have closed. Vital community service centers all across the country are expected to merge with other communities in a regional divisions in order to comply with downsizing in order to keep the postal service operational. So is there anything which citizens can do? Well we are already paying for higher costs of postage stamps, and that's not quite enough. Personally, I feel there is a need to revive the old handwritten letter and opt-out of the conviencences of using on-line operations for communication only by your e-mail letter, or paying your bills by returning to mailing them.

Try sending out e-mails only when it's necessary and dote on a handwritten letter for the change. There is a special connection there as well since the postal office does not receive taxpayer's funding many of the mail services may be obsolete and you'll be aiding in keeping mail out alive. I'd hate to see a time to come where I couldn't mail my friend a letter anymore. I'm just too sentimental. It's one of a real life situations for to bare the thought of the end of an era and of the letters... Ode' to the written letter.....

Dear Friend:
Please, if you would next time you write me, send in through the post office....I'd like to hold what you've written in my hands.
Love,
MIISRAEL

I feel like I'm starting a revolution! LO!
In all reality, though I would like so much that people start mailing in their letters, bills and ect. instead of always using computers for everything. It's so much of a monopoly to have everything you communicate be soley done on-line. Some things I believe will need to kept, and I believe in keeping around the postal service. So, even if you only mail something once a week I think if everyone pitched in that way it may help our troubled U.S. Postal to become energized and keep jobs as well.

I can really understand that man's using the P.O. for all his mailings --and as far as I'm concerned has the exact right idea!

Viva la! P.O!! :>O

MIISRAEL, last night I saw an interview with a man who(as I am sure many, many others) has put an end to using the net and not the good old P.O. for the rest of his natural like...

He has just recieved his 2011 $4,000.00 tax return, by mail.LOL...You see He used the 'convience' of using the net to do his taxes and, spent months trying to get his net stolen ID back. It seems that stealing ID via the net of people using this 'convience' rather than their nearest P.O has the state of N.J. in the lead for stealing IDs and the states right behind N.J. were also mentioned....

Need I say more about our PO will always be here and with info like this just may be even headed for a major back. LOL (smile)
