Ooh I can't wait!:D This is gonna be fun!
I really didn't except this many people would want to participate. I am glad I said something now I was afraid someone would think it was dumb.:o
I do hope this list keeps growing though.:)
I have added a few more people to the list they are in the Bold Text
Remember if you are already pretty good friends with a person on the list let us know.:)

Are we going to post a questionnaire?
Yes so they can PM it to us then we will pair them up. The questionnaire isn't done yet though.

:o Dumb question -- when is this going to happen? I'd like to participate, but will be doing a lot of travelling or special projects for work/jury duty so I'll be tied up till late in October.
If, as I suspect, this will happen in September I'm going to be very hard to reach. But I'd be really discouraged to not sign up, and then learn it's starting in November. :( :p
Thanks for clarifying this.
Yes it will start in September but you could always sign up in November. I think we may just make this thing for two months and see how it works then switch the people around.

Since it's starting so late, I'll go ahead and add myself to the list. I've had so many things going on lately that I was debating about it. Might as well go for i :)
Karen
08-09-2004, 07:49 PM
This is gonna be so much fun!
Should folks list that they don't "do" AOL IMs? I don't ...
Yeah I think that would be a good idea.:)
captain
08-09-2004, 08:28 PM
You can count me in. :D

Alright captain and todd you have both been added.:D

I just wanted to ask - are you gonna switch pairs every month? Well I just wanted to say i dont live in USA or Canada - and letters from Iceland to Canada or USA sometimes goes really long time - about 2weeks....
I think it would be best to switch pairs around every 2 months because of that reason.

Tina, sign me up, too! I might be tied up for the next few weeks, but I'll go for it.

Since it is getting close to the Sunday 29th I figured I better get this back up top.

Can someone explain exactly how this works? How often do you exchange letters? It is snail mail, right? Do you just write what you feel like writing or will this questionnaire be used just to pair people up or is it something that will be sent to your pen pal?
I'm not much of a letter writer and I'm thinking maybe I wont' really know what to write about. :confused:
If I sign up, my pen pal may be bored senseless by my ultra-boring life.

Oh whatever micki:p Now my life...that's pretty boring!
Pretty much you write whatever you want to, but there is a questionnaire just in case a person does not want talk about something.
Yes the thing is done through snail mail and you will have the same person for 2 months.:)
If for some reason there is someone on the list you do not want to be paired with, or friends with please PM Kay,Aly or me.

I still don't understand what you mean by talking about anything? Like what? sorry i'm confused how this is.
Did you never have pen pal in school or when you was younger? I mean talk about anything you want the weather,pets,cars,hobbies,animals, trees,how your life is, favorite color, food, drink, what you did one day and want to share it, just whatever you want.

I'm pretty sure i know, so i'll explain. Tina- If im wrong, correct me, :p
Amber- You write about anything you want. You can talk about your day at school, your pet's, your friend's, yourself, or just anything that comes to mind.. It's just as if you were writing a letter to a friend/family member. Or, it's just like writing an email, just to someone you don't usually talk to, and it's through snail-mail. Hopefully people will become better friend's with the person who they are sending mail to..
Get it? :p
*Edit* Tina- I didn't see you replied. :o
Yep she pretty much explained it.:D
Don't worry about it you explained it better then I did.:o

We're gonna tell your terrorists - aka - terriers you said life is boring .... :p I'm sure they'd be happy to change that!
Kids - make sure your parents are okay with you giving your mailing address out to people. Please do that ASAP.
Well since not everyone that signed up views General. It will be posted in Dog General, Cat General, Pet General, and here also.
So please watch for the post aly will be posting the questionnaire.:)

Maybe you should put a link to the questionnaire. I was looking for it because I knew you were going to have it up today, but I thought it was going to be its own thread. I just happen to come here and found it.
Aly you want to put a link up for the questionnaire?
I'm now posting the updated list of people we've received questionnaires from on this thread:
