Pen pals...with real pens and paper and all that cool stuff!

[KentuckyGirl]

I was sitting here thinking about this WOE and how I really need a support team. I am hoping to make tons of email buddies, but then I remembered in grade school we all had pen pals from around the world. I would love a pen pal from somewhere besides America who would like to write real letters and little cards and such. We could support one another on our weight-los journey and learn about a new place too. Maybe it is just the teacher in me, but does anyone else think it is a good idea?

Hey Deb--I recall doing that too back in my high school days. I had 1 pen pal in France, 1 in Germany (Sabine Tuchfeldt??), 1 in Belgium and a few in French speaking Canada (just outside Quebec proper) and even did an exchange program in high school with the french canadians, that was such fun! Now I have 1 in Australia, but we e-mail more than snail mail.

What a great memory you've brought back for me.

You might have to post your request in the international forum to get a bigger group of non-Americans. I know there are a few folks who live out of the US who post here on our board.

Stick around here through next Christmas and you can get in on our Christmas/Holiday card exchange. Cards from all over!
