Hello together

I'm a little worried and I don't know if I'm overreacting. My penpal and I write via jpay. But I haven't heard from him since Friday, should I write him again or should I wait? We haven't written that long via jpay so I don't know if the waiting time is normal. What would you do?

I always give my penpals about a week before I start fretting otherwise you will make the experience less enjoyable for you both. A penpal will not necessarily email you daily, or weekly for that matter unless you have given him enough questions and stuff to talk about in your last message. Most penpals have a routine of classes, work, Count 3 or 4 times a day, yard time and meal time. It's busy. From experience they find it helpful if the pen friend has offered a subject to discuss or talk about rather then day to day stuff as they may struggle to tell you something different each day/week.

I use Jpay - not all messages seem to be delivered at weekend - I end up with 2 or 3 on a Monday as he emails me every day and one can be from Friday. If there are lock down or some thing at the facility your PP or any one else won't be able to use.

There was the weekend, so, you didn't get a msg. Probably you'll get one or two tonight or tomorrow. ;-)
