Okay my boo is good at writing letters and I cant complain. But in his last letter he said "dont be a stranger"! I was like "huh"?! I send him tons of mail every week so I dont know what he was talking about! I dont mind at all but how much mail does he need! I get one letter every week or two weeks from him...does your guy do this?

Yes He really stresses that he needs mail from me, especially when we can’t talk.
But he is very good about getting me out mail. I get a letter every other day.
I try & write him every day, but some times I just can’t get the time out to do it.
He works too but he doesn’t have as many obligations as I do in the free world so he understands, (or at least he says he does)

"Don't be a stranger"???? What the heck is that all about? Have you been sending less mail than you normally do? I know when I start slacking a little bit, Travis will write and say "Can I get some mail from my girl, please?" Maybe we're spoiling them too much.... :)

YES! He gets mail everyday most of the time more then one and I only get a letter a week or so.He has been writing much more lately but thats just for the past week or so,he always tells me to write more,how much can I write? dang!LOL I figure it's about the only thing he has from the outside so I try my best to write like crazy.OF COURSE I want more mail but unfortunatly some men just don't like to write as much as others!

Same here, I write a letter everyday and sometimes on the weekends I write so much that by Monday I am mailing out about 4 letters but with him it's 1 letter every week or week and a half. I have asked why he does not write more and he just says it takes alot of thought to write something besides what is going on in there. Like I care, just to hear from him is great for me. I tell him about the boring crap I do on a daily basis, who knows with them. I think we are spoiling them.

Well I have to admit...I did spoil him..I guess I did slack a lil bit but he always gets mail..

Don't be a stranger? Ha. ha. that's a hoot! If I ever hear that I'll be kicking butt!!!! Maybe he's not getting all of his mail???? I send one or two a day. However, I usually get back one or two a day. We are writting fools!!!! For some reason I haven't gotten any since Tuesday! There best be a stack in the mail box today!!!!! Don't be a stranger! Smack that boy!

Girl it may be sometimes when you send those letters he may not be getting them on time. I was sending mail to my man and he was not getting it. So now I have start asking in other letters did you get the other 2 letters I sent?

Hey babieboo my man said something to me on the phone the other day which I might be able to explain why they want so much mail. He told me his cell mate look at his mail and he wow man you get a lot of mail. I thinks it make them proud that they have someone that shower them with love. It's like a person who has a lot of money showing off. Well in prison it's a man who gets lots of mail showing off. I think it cute I show off my cards sometimes becasue all of my friends man are home and they don't any cards lol.

The mail was so backed up where my man is by about 5 weeks that he wasn't getting hardly anything I sent then BOOM 6 letters in 1 day,the next day was 10,day after that was 6 again! LOL He said he almost had a heart attack getting so much in one day

Thanks everyone! Well I just sent him a letter today and also one yesterday...I sent him stuff this past weekend too so he should be happy! Spoiled Bratt!! but I love him...hee hee!

i was spoiling him after the new year and then i totally slacked?! his valentine's cards aren't even all sent out...i got him 5---explainable! hello? v-day is tomorrow! oh well.....he is happy that i got him more than 1 card to begin with! i try my hardest to get him lots of mail especially when he gets extra lonely or is having doubts.....

i get usually 1 letter a week...maybe sometimes none--or sometimes more than 1---that's the thing! i don't have anything to write in them if i don't get anything from him! i have nothing to respond to?!

true bigbree!

I AGREE! JEFF SENDS ME LIKE 2 LETTERS A WEEK ONE IS A NICE SWEET LONG ONE AND ONE IS A QUICK SHOUT OUT! BUT GOD FORBID HE DOESNT GET LIKE 3 OR MORE LETTERS A WEEK FROM ME HE HAS A STROKE. I TOLD HIM, YOUR LUCKY YOU GET 3 I ONLY GET 2 AND CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE TOLD ME? BUT PRINCESS I AM REALLY BUSY!!!!! BUSY? HE HAS GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! BUSY DOING WHAT? working out eating or messing around in the yard? im not busy you know i only raise two kids by myself take care of a house and work full time! I AGREE WITH YOU BABIEBOO THEY ARE SO SPOILED. BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE HE HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE IS SO BUSY!!!!

I enjoyed reading your posts. Daddy is the same way. He says my letters are his medicine and if i don't send him something every day he'll get literally sick. When he heard they would have no mail on Saturday i had to almost drive down for a visit to calm him down. Yes he is spoiled too. He only writes me once maybe twice a week, but his letters are lengthy when he does write. And i have told him how much his letters mean to me as well so he try and knows to send me a word at least once a week. Because i get sick too. For real!!! :)

I sent him about nine Valentines over a three day period. I got my "one" a few days ago. :) But i love it. No card i bought can compare. I just have to accept how he writes and deal with it like you all. However if i don't send mail for a week he would be saying more than don't be a stranger. He might write to my daughter asking "what happened to moma" :). Keep spoiling him babieboo... as long as he deserves it.

My man panics when the mail slacks up...but since he writes me everyday, I understand. He is spoiled with mail and yes it makes him feel safe about us and proud around there. I guess getting his mail daily also makes me feel safe and proud...we both depend on it so much for our happiness through this distance. I don't think your guy has the right to diss you if he is not writing you more. When I cannot write almost daily, I send him out a card "just because" and remind him that I love him but that I have been busy.

Louis and I are having the same talk. He always like I did not get any mail today. I tell him I don't know why he is not getting any because I send one out at least every other day. So now I tell him I did not get any mail today he said good no bills, lol.But he only sends me one or two a week. I get mad at him and think that I'm not going to write him until I get one!!!!! But it never works that way. I guess everyone is right we spoil them.But hey someone has to!!!!
Amy

i don't think her man was trying to dis her. but i understand what you meant. you don't send any you don't get any :0

I write to Steve every day. He never fails to mention how he loves and appreciates my letters, but I only get one a week from him. That's kind of disappointing! But I allow for the fact that he's not a letter writer. Still, I always hope for more than that and when I see that letter from him it makes my day.

I write everyday several things and have gotton 3 letters sense October 2002..
says smae crap different day.........but I go every weekend

babieboo, hey girlie! I just now read your post and I know EXACTLY how you feel... yes, I am STILL waiting on my letter! But that's another conversation!

You know how much your "Daddy" loves you, and you have spoiled him rotten!! So he is EXPECTING to receive a certain amount and when it's under that amount he lets you know LOL. I know it can be a pain, but when you write him make sure you let him know that you would LOVE to get more or longer letters from him and kind of explain why (to kind of justify your case a little :D).

I hope that you get more mail from him soon because I know how long you waited for the last one. Just make sure that you let him know but in a non-offfensive way b/c if he doesn't know then he can't "fix it". Good luck girl!

Mrs.K is so dang smart. We just spoil these men rotten and then don't know what to do with 'em--well, actually we know what do with 'em, but we're sparing them that until they come home and can properly defend themselves! :ha: Babbieboo, I hope you get more mail soon. I know you are probably the most faithful letter-writer that I have seen on all of PTO. Your man is lucky, lucky, lucky that the mail fairy sprinkles her mail dust on him almost every night. I'll do the mail chant for you tonight--I needed to do it for myself already anyway.

My guy actually calls me if he hasn't gotten a letter when he thinks he should of, last time he called he said "why I ain't got a letter this week , that's how it is now? You forgot about me?" I had to laugh because he is just so cute, turns out the mail there is slooooow, imagine that. LOL I'm lucky if I get even 1 letter a week, and he wants to complain about me. He tells me ohh so just because you send a letter that means I got to send one too? I'm like YEAH that's the way it works. I have to agree we have them spoiled.
