Description:

@Francy0212 had a "twenty-something penpal swap" and I thought it was a neat idea. Since I'm in the mood for a penpal, too, I'm going to create a Forty-something Penpal Swap!

If you're between the ages of 40 and 49, and you like to write letters, and possibly make a penpal, this swap's for you!

Write a letter to your partner, introducing yourself, and consider including some questions within your letter to encourage your partner to write back with their answers. I think most people prefer a hand-written letter, but if you have a medical situation that prevents you writing a letter by hand, then you're welcome to type your letter. Please write a letter, rather than a note. One 8.5x11 sheet or two 5x7 sheets is the minimum. Send what you yourself would love to find in your mailbox.

When you finish writing your letter, consider including something a little extra in your letter. It is not required, but isn't it fun to open a letter and a picture, bookmark, stickers, blank notecard, or something unexpected falls out? So consider it. It makes for an extra special letter and definitely brings a smile to the recipient's face.

You will have 1 partner for this swap, as I want you to devote your time and attention to one person.

Newbies are welcome with a filled-out profile. Everyone else is welcome who is 40-49 yrs old and who has no unexplained 1s.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Any comments or suggestions, share them, too.

I hope to find a penpal and hope you do, too!

Could I sign up for my Mom? She is into pen palling, and doesn't have a SB account. But, she's 42. I could put something on my profile.

I'm only 29... but I feel like 40 ;-) that count? (j/k)

Hi, @RyuLuna Your mother is more than welcome to join us! Have her create a Swap-bot account, tell us about herself in her profile, and sign up!

@yumcheesy I'm sorry you feel 40-something in a 29 year old body. I feel quite the opposite...a 43 yr old woman who feels 20-something. Ha ha!
