TBTL PenPals!

Finally, I have a way to combine two of my passions:

1) eradicating global loneliness

2) supporting the US Postal Service

Since receiving a personal note goes a long way toward making you feel connected and real, TBTL now has a Pen Pal program.

Simply email your interest to: tbtlpenpals@gmail.com

You will receive a very short questionnaire in reply. Starting on March 5th we will start emailing your introduction letters and you're ready to buy stamps and cute stationary. YAY!YAY!YAY!

On a personal note: my first job out of college I was living alone and working alone and the loneliness was unbearable. On my birthday I bought myself an ice cream cake at Baskin Robbins and sat in my apartment in L.A., watching Friends and eating the whole thing by myself. We all have times like that...well maybe not just like that, but you know what I mean. It's hard to connect. So be a penpal, for yourself and for someone else.

    Pen Pals!
    I'm in! A few months back I put out a call on Facebook for people to be penpals with our 4-year old daughter Madeleine. For about two or three weeks straight our mailbox was full of letters and other fun things for her and checking the mailbox everyday became her favorite thing in the world.

    Just filled out my survey!
    And, on another note, I just want to add than Sean's "Feels Like the Third Time" mashup literally made me laugh out loud. Not like the kind where people write "LOL" but there was no actual "out loud" laughing. This was actual out loud laughing!

    We already have a term for that: LLOL
    Janie and I started using LLOL when we Literally Laugh Out Loud.

    Just donated, just signed up for the pen-pal program (PPP)
    As a listener for the last two years, I'm so happy that I'm finally financially able to donate! I chose the ten bucks a month plan, and I'm looking forward to hearing the pilot. I also signed up to be somebody's highly sporadic pen-pal (yeah, I have to choose the here-and-there option). I love what you guys do, and I'm so glad I can finally contribute financially!

    thanks
    Jen...thanks for this Great Idea. I submitted my questionnaire a few days ago. This reminds me of the Frog and Toad story called The Letter.

    This means so much to me you can't imagine
    Oh, man! Do kids these days even get to still do this? I'm assuming that PenPal companies went out the window some time after the Satantic Day Care hysterias of the 80s. I will always remember taping a dime to a piece of paper and mailing it to the Pen Pal People. Getting a letter from her every month was the BEST! I often wonder what happened to her... This is a terrific idea, Jen. Definitely awesome.
