I was just curious on the amount of pen-pals people have on this site??? if you have more than 5 how do you handle them all??? I only have 2 and only one writes me weekly and I wish that i had more coming!!!

I have presently 8 that are writing me back and am waiting on my first response from a new one that I just wrote. I am soooo excited. :0) What I do to keep up with writing my letters is that as soon as I get them I write back. I also keep a file on the computer and a paper file on all my pen pals. Happy Writing!

Babygurl36..thats really interesting..exactly what do you mean by paper file???? I dont know if i could handle eight. Do you have a romantic interest in anyone of them???

Well, I have had 6 responses to the inital 10 letters I sent out. BUT those 6 people are not writing me fast enough (I'm a little addicted to receiving mail) so I sent out 6 more contact letters last night.

It's fairly easy for me to keep track of 6 guys because they're all different, they all have different personalities and quirks and likes and dislikes...it's just as easy as juggling 6 friends on the outside and making sure you KNOW them and spending time with them.

It's like any other friendship...at first you just think of the other person in generalities (That girl who always wears red Door, or that guy that told the funny joke) but after you hang out with them for awhile (even if you're just hanging out in a letter) you get to know them. And instead of hanging out and going to the movies with someone one night, I hang out at the desk and write a prisoner a letter. If you can maintain 10 friendships, it should be a piece of cake to maintain 10 pen pal friendships.

I wrote 6 people and have received six responses. It can get hectic-especially if you open your box and find like four letters in there..it makes you happy and it is worth it...they are all different people..and each relationship is on a different level...I have one person, who tells me jokes and stories that he thinks I will like...one tries to kill me with cologne (LOL) but is very sweet..etc..

I have 10 pen pals. That sounds like a lot, but since I'm overseas, I don't receive weekly letters from most of my pen pals. As MisterPi said, it's easy to distinguish my pen pals because they have very different personalities. Which is exactly what I like

Dana, what I meant by a paper file is that I copied like their ads that I replied to and I also have some information on their crimes and so forth. Also things that they have sent me dealing with their cases and things of that nature. My pen pals send me a lot of their legal stuff to read and give my opinion on or to show me some letter thay have recieved back from the courts or something.
As far as distinguishing them... that's easy. All of my pen pals are really different so that makes all of letters interesting. I love getting mail.
Am I romantically involved with any of them... Not at this point, but One of them is really capturing my heart in a special way, and he has me and his mom calling to one another like once a week. As for what can happen... I don't know. He's earliest release date could be 2005 and his latest is 2008. We'll have to see.
You have a wonderful evening! :0)

How many do I have off of THIS site?? sheesh, i have no idea. I bet 60 came from this site. Sheesh, I dont rember, lol

How do i keep up? I keep files on all my guys. As i said before, i like to keep upo with b-days and their release date and all that kind of stuff.

I have 10 now and all ten have responded. It is much harder than I thought it would be but I am very happy that I can communicate with them and their letters are all great so far. Roger
