@NatureLover ,  Thankyou for taking time out to explain all that ,   and your right,  eventually it showed up in my email box .  Maybe some one has to read it be fore it gets acknowledged.  @Sophia1  gave me the idea of writing letters in a journal and i take a pic with my phone just be fore i hit the post button.   Its saved me a few times.                                                                     You ask why i call posts kites, Fridge=ridgy didge.......tomatoe sause = dead hourse.....feel a bit crook,= butchers hook,   police,   .. the jacks...    jail the... big house..... Colloquialisms...  If i can add a splash of colour , i try...

I   have a box of letters decades old.   Swirls of ink,  quality paper,  old stamps,  pictures, locks of golden hair, and the fragrance of the author still lingers....  I trust them.   I like to put pressed flowers and lavender oil in the letters i sent.  Thousands of old, infirm,  or disabled people, struggling  with poor rural reception or no money to afford it would regard electronic letters less trustworthy.   The internet connection,   $900,   a computor  $850.  tech support,  medi bank private, optus, hacks.   billions lost in scams,  internet dating abuses,   I use it , but i dont yet trust it,.....   yet...    Great for surfing the  net,  but nothing beats a real letter or hearing some ones voice on the phone... and its way faster and cheaper.   To a cow poke,  a red gum post is tangible.   A kite, ...... you let it go , ...may be it flys ,  maybe it doesnt.....   It helps me to write and i guess for some one who has not yet found a friend to ring when i need one,  that is the point of the service you provide,  and im grateful ,  I just have a nagging feeling that part of the social isolation and mental health problems are the result of our reliance on the internet.  Twitter ,trump, ....   i Better go hadnt i.   how is your stomach ailment.   hope its on the improve..  I do appreciate all your advice and help.    stay safe .... tonys moon base one
