    I wish I got letters in the mail more often, something worthy of all the awesome letter openers I've inherited lately.

      When I got home from my mission one of my greatest disappointments and surprises was that many of my weekly letters home were sitting on the counter or in a trash bin right next to the counter unopened.

        Maybe they didn't have any cool letter openers, at least nothing worthy of fine missives like yours (sorry, man, that really sucks).

                How much money does my company really save by turning off the air conditioning over the weekend, only to sweat out their employees each Monday morning?

                  ?? I hope you are joking.

                    I know; I was a little horrified by this as well.

                      Nope, not a joke. And it wasn't the most surprising thing I discovered when I returned home. I think I can safely place it in the top 5.

                          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                            Thanks for the offer. It's all pretty much in the rear view mirror, and I don't really worry about it now. None of it is nearly as comically sad as the letters; it's all just more in the straight up sad realm. It is on this basis that I will keep the info to myself, plus, I don't want to make this thread about me. If anyone really wants to know more about it I would be open to telling a little more in a boardmail.

                            wuap's random thought about wanting to get letters just made me think of the last handwritten letters I did which led me to remember about that. Perhaps that will be one of the things I forget when I get old and have Alzhimers.

                              Okay, I was a bit to eager. Sorry to hear that you had to experience those things, whatever they were.

                                Your offer was appreciated. If it was still close it would definitely be helpful to talk it out. As it is, it's been a few years now and things are on the up and up.

                                Now, a new random thought: I can't help but chew on the caps of Bic pens.
