You know what I love? I love it when a company comes up with a solution to a problem that has plagued us all.

So…

I am grateful that they have come up with a template for helping people address their envelopes…

Finally I will not have anxiety when I need to send out a letter or such…

  1. How many people write letters these days? Maybe I do it a few times a year to pay taxes. And there are always self-addressed envelopes and return address stickers when paying monthly bills. That’s if you don’t pay them all online. I’m not going to buy stock in this company right away.

  2. I remember when my kids were around middle school age, and I realized they had no clue how to write a letter or address an envelope. It’s a life skill that isn’t taught in most schools anymore. I had pen pals in first grade thanks to our teacher.

  3. I knew there was a lack in my life. My co-worker prints out many of his address labels at work – I just thought he was lazy and wasteful, but he might merely be untrained. We did lessons on letter writing and addressing letters at school. An donly yesterday I blogged how I was feeling old…

  4. Is it a case of “too little, too late”? I rarely write a letter, very rarely. Perhaps at Christmastime, but the one aunt I used to send letters to dies in November so I highly doubt I have need of this. It’s a strange world.

  5. Should I admit it? When I was in elementary school, we would use a ruler to mark light lines on an envelope so that our address would be straight on the envelope. These days, if you are allowed to teach penmanship, it is unusual.
