Tacky eMail
Growing up, the main source of communication was writing letters and post cards. Not email, not cell phones, not the Internet. But good old fashioned, pen and paper and a postage stamp. My kids have never known that form of communication, and they most likely never will. But thanks to today’s website, they can experience some of the joy of sending postcards.
The name of the site is the Tacky Postcard Archive. Here you can look at picture postcards from years gone by. This was what you used to receive from friends on vacation, usually with the message “Having a wonderful time, wish you were here”, etc. etc.
Now you can send these same cards via Internet email to your friends. Whatever the occasion, either vacation, holiday, get well, or just thinking of you, all of the reason are here. They are well divided up, and easy to find. Some of them are more adult oriented than others, so a close look is advised before sending them. It is easy to communicate using postcards, after all a picture is worth a thousand words.
When I was in the service, it was great getting mail from home. One of my grandmothers used to send me a postcard every week. You could set you calendar with her post cards and how often they arrived. So send a card to a friend or a loved one. You can’t go wrong…. well, hopefully you won’t. The rating on this site is a 7.5 out of 10.
