I like it here. It serves my purpose very well. But the limitation on number of messages allowed is a little irritating.

This site is asking. I originally thought to try penpals to get my kids interested in it. I don't want expecting to meet my best friend on this site. And no we didn't know each other beforehand. Thank you Global Penpals!!!!
