This is kinda funny but my boo and I have rap lyric battles...I will write a verse and he has write one back in response to mine..we do that with our poems too. What kind of things do you do to keep it going and fresh?

You know what? Me and my man dont really do anything like what you mentioned. We just talk, and write about what's been going on. I do however, get some ideas off of PTO and what other members are talking about.

We try to learn about things together. We read the same books at the same time and I'll print out stuff on the internet for us to read. Then we discuss what we've learned and how it applies to us. Right now we're focusing on self-help things... communication in relationships and surviving long-distance relationships and stuff like that.

Your rap lyric battles sound neat. Travis would lose in a minute on that one. lol My little white boy probably couldn't rap to save his life. :)

Sometimes one of us starts a story, writes a few paragraphs then mails it.. then the other one adds to it... we had one of these "stories" going for almost 6 months one time... of course - it was sexy!

We talk about books and movies in our letters plus all the daily stuff. Mr. D loves hearing about the house, the cats and has really enjoyed pictures of the snow banks we have in the yard... from my hard shoveling!

mrs. d

We don't rap !! :D Well we just share everyday events, I tell him what I'm doing, tell him about my friends, the cat, the bills etc... I print sruff out of PTO and send him. We also write sexy letters... :D

For the moment, we're all excited about our first visit to come. We've "talked" of our first minutes together over and over !!! :D

I write him daily so he gets mail from me every day of the week except for wknds,(i have done this for 2 weeks so far)
I tell him about the discussions on PTO, print out my emails from my friends for him to read, tell him who i met, what we talked about(almost word for word), what i ate, wore,how i feel, the lousy weather..send him polaroids of me in scanty clothing from time to time so he can cancel his maxim and stuff subscription!

I sometimes get stuck on what to say because I do mostly the same routine everyday. So I tend to write every detail about anything new happens or what our daughter does and I print him stuff off the internet alot. Right now I'm on this Alien kick so he's gotten about 100 pages all on UFo sightings and stuff like that. Next week I'll probably on some other thing. I send him stuff out of magazines and when I read a book I rip out the pages so he can read it after me (i also write comments on the sides of the pages of what I'm thinking that paticular moment) (or if they have it in the library he'll get it) then we talk about it. He's not allowed to receive books through mail. I send him origami stuff and what ever pops in my mind. I find that I seem to write every detail of everything, I explain smells, tastes etc. Well you guys know how it is, I've been writing letters for 11 years, you get good at it after a while.

ME 2 GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! we have battles writing each other...he just wrote me 13 questions, ( to the 50 cents 21 questions) now i have to write him back 13 answers....

Well talk about things that are going on in the world, talk about our plans for the future. He writes me a lot of poems and also draws alot for me. Alot of sex stuff. We never seems to have problems with finding something to talk about.

we write about anything and everything. We read the same books, stay up on and discuss politics, history... we talk about all kinds of things... never boring with us. We never run out of things to to talk about...ever

I send him stuff I print off the internet. He tells me about his kids and I tell him about mine and funny stuff my dog does. I tell him I love him and miss him a bunch of times.
I tell him about my job searches and any classes I take, I never run out of things to say but I can hardly wait for him to get out and I tell him that too. I also send him poems I write.
thanks PTO for being here

Well lets seeeee... fresh and new.... I will write about daily things about the house, things i am doing, ask him about things he is doing, I make him personalized puzzles to solve at a puzzlemaker site, I send him things off sites and the internet, right now he wants to read up on presidential candidates, so i have sent him some stuff on them, we write about EVERYTHING. We use to do the book reading thing as well, he would get a book, then Id get it and them we would read it together and talk about it... we send alot of love each others way, and we too have started a story, he will write some, then me and back and forth. I do send poems I write etc, and share some of the things you will find here...like the Love Contract someone posted on here for Valentines Day....

I have a ditgal camera- I and I send my husband pictures of my week- every week.... silly faces my dog makes, the flowers that are blooming on my rose bush, the cat sleeping on his pillow in my bed- what my desk at work looks like.... everything- so he can see what my day to day life looks like every week.

I've been writing my husband for 7 years, and at times I feel like I can't write one more letter about how work was, or doing the dishes and folding laundry!! It's at that time by at times odd personality kicks in, I happen to be an oasis of useless information, and I pass this onto my husband. Little things I've found on the internet or news; like the fact that goldfish can cough or that cats have 100 vocal cords. :)
I've found that my husband actually likes to hear about my days in detail, even if it doesn't change much. It makes him feel like he's more a part of my life.... I also send him jokes or funny stories I find on the internet, there's a great one about 60 things you don't want to say to a naked man (my favorite is - make it dance!).
Be creative!!

Sometimes we do like questions...I write five and he answers them. Like questions about life...you get to know each other at the same time and have something interesting to write about. Then he writes five and so on and so on.
Lately though we have been listing things that bother us about the other person as a way to repair our relationship without arguing. We write the problem then offer a solution. It works....because we learn more about each other. Helps us get along better too! :)

we make stuff for each other, cards, drawings, poems. i recently took a class in cake decorating and i found something that i can use for a card he can EAT! LOL it's something called "DecoEdible" paper. It looks just like paper and there are special flavored markers and paints that you can use with it. It comes in five different flavors: razzberry, peach, lemon, strawberry, and vanilla! It looks just like regular paper, but you can eat it! I also found some soap this is cut into large stars. they look just like confetti. i told him that i was sending some in one of his letters. they got through! and he took a shower with the soap i sent him! :)

:hee: I tell the Hubbie everything that goes on. We are the most talkative couple I know so I never run out of stuff to say to him. I keep him up on the news in the hood, family and the lastest Go-Go CDs' Here in SE DC, well, DC as a whole, we are Go-Go music fanatics. Most of the people who make this music are those who grew up here and know our sense of life style. We bicker through letters and make up on the phone :D. There's never a dull moment I tell ya! ;)

I guess i need to get creative. Me and my fiancee only plan and dream and plan and dream and...I guess I should have more fun with him, like the rest of you ladies. We do throw in a few "love" letters, if you know what i mean.;)

After about 10 years of letter writing girls I'm about all dry out of ideas. I have been in every situation there is out there if you know what I mean. I can't even think of a new way to go about that topic still I have been everywhere and did everything in my letters. I'm kinda sick of writing to be truthful but I keep on but boy my brain has run on empty.

Me and my man talk about everything that is happening. He likes to hear about everyday things joys and sitiuations. We also talk about how we will be when he comes home

I find funny things on the internet to print off and send to him, I write him and tell him about what I am studying and I send him all of my essays to critique and comment on. I take pictures of things that strike me as beautiful or places I want to go with him or funny signs or whatever and send them to him.

HI, am new to this forum, but it is very, very interesting, my husband and I write to each other about the past, and usually when he calls we end up arguing. I hate to waste our valuable time arguing but usually that's what happends. When I start writing to him, I always think about the past and start accusing him of things that happened befor we was in prison. It drives me crazy but we can't seem to get past this. I love him with all my heart, but I feel that even with this experience he won't change. Am willing thogh to give him another chance, because I can't imagine my life without him. Please help me get find a way to forget the past and look to the future. I tell him that I love him very much and he still doubts me. He acuses me of cheating on him and going out with my friends, which yes, I do to destract me even for a little while of my ugly reality. There is nobody in the world I rather be with then with him. He has 6 more months to go and I need to stay as positive as possible to get through this. What more can I say to him, then what I already have. I love him!

I love the idea of writing a story together. We are both such great writers. I am going to get this going this weekend for us. Thanks MrsD for sharing. I agree that is very sexy!!!

We still do all of those questionnaires out there. It still amazes me that after being together for 13 years, we still find out new things about each other through the questions.

Plus we always add quotes as headers to our letters. Our quotes reflect the tone of the letter. Plus I always paste all kinds of graphics in my letters that reflect the quote of the day or whatever subject I may be talking about at the moment. If I describe something to him, I try to find a picture on the internet so he can see what I am referring to. We always type our letters too. I know some people think that it is a bit impersonal but it is great for us.

i have so many letters just from the past 15 months i never knew i could write like this ,well before he goes to doc i have to pick up his things and i now have every letter i have written him only since this last 15 months ...well he ended up not getting sentenced and it was again postponed so we have continued to write and write and write ,,,well after looking at all these letters i think these poor trees i bet they would look good in a book i know its a silly idea but i so want to put together this book that is from a his and her stand point you know like a his side her side thing what we go through while he is inside and she is outside or vise -versa i doubt i will ever do it but ya never know :rolleyes: :)

Dont stress too much on what to write. Just pick up the pen it comes natural to because this is da love of my life and hes not here to share it with me at the moment so normally when i pick up the pen i tell him about everyday life. If im feeling down i tell him, he likes to hear how im doing in school. i've accomplised alot within these three years hes been locked up. im in school for my nursing degree almost finished :) i grew as a person. i tell him everything so our letters are sometimes 6 pages long...maybe more. just let it flow as long as there is communication its fine.

well i write him sweet things to help him know how much i love him

Jon and I write about everything, but for fun we started our own little romance novel. It's a lot of fun to see who is adding what and whose imagination is working best.:p

sex, Sex and more SEX :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
