Click For Summary
A postcard exchange club has been initiated, inviting participants to express their interest and share mailing addresses privately. The rules emphasize not posting personal addresses publicly and indicate that the guidelines may be refined over time. Participants are excited about sending and receiving postcards, discussing where to find them, and sharing their experiences. Some members express challenges in obtaining postcards or mailing them due to local postal issues, while others share humorous anecdotes about their mailing habits and the difficulties of sending cards on time. The conversation also touches on the enjoyment of receiving postcards from different locations and the personal touches that can be added, such as drawings or messages. Overall, the thread reflects a sense of community and enthusiasm for the postcard exchange, despite logistical hurdles.

I need a job, can you send me an application to be a post man instead of a postcard? I don't speak polish, but I can deliver mail faster than any nonexistent postman ever.

I can send you phone number of the post office. I doubt they speak English, but it shouldn't make the situation worse than it already is.

To send a postcard internationally costs 56p. Sounds like you've been overcharged!


Yes, that is two extra days of no cheese with my bread and pullit.

MiH, you're welcome. Any luck yet, Evo? Well, there are always more cards.

No problem whatsoever here to get cards and stamps and find mail boxes other than hotmail or yahoo.

Wanna card? PM me.

Wanna card? PM me.

Can you use Nederland stamps please. I've a hundred relatives in Germany and 90% of my stamp collection is from there. Or better yet, do they have Euro-stamps yet? This internet crap is killing my hobby. I've not a single one.

Borek! Your card is in the mail! hmmm... after reading your posts, perhaps I should have sent you a Christmas card instead?

ooh! I got a pretty picture postcard from Wolly! Thanks so much! Where is Bishops Bowls Lakes?
 
  • #96
Ooo I've decided that I want to exchange snail mail addesses.
I think I'll see if I can put a picture that I've taken on the front. (now I have to just find time to go to the print shop to see if this is possible)

I'm just confused as what we're supposed to write on these cards...I don't usually send cards to people out of randomness..

It is just up the road from me, and where i found my fossils, also where some bad guys want build a hotel and houses:mad:

But how did the one with the wrong stamp get to you :confused: the mail people must have been feeling extra nice.
May be every one will get two cards.

I have just put of my stream of conscience on the postcards; it doesn't matter much, as I am barely readable.

Just put address in prints so that cards to US will not end in New Zealand.

Meanwhile, I posted three more cards. Would be nice to see how much time it would take to travel.

I have to remember to make a trip to the mail box. The last time I went I broke my arm. The Evo Child has been making by-monthly mail runs for me.

Monthly? I thought you lived in Kansas. When did you move to Poland?

Cool. Out here they pull fossils out of a big stinky tar pit.

And some with the wrong postage are getting through, i am starting to believe in miracles.

Hey christina, it is the joy of getting a card not what is on it, though some thing written on it would be better than nothing, even if it is inane mumbo jumbo.

Ooops... All I wrote on my cards was inane mumbo jumbo..

My joy is of course seeing a black penny on the card.

Two more cards going today, I'll be home later today to see if somebody has thought of me.
 
  • #112
Wow, got my mail today! No magazines (too heavy to carry), but at least bills and several orders, and...

POSTCARD FROM MIH :smile: :approve: :!) :biggrin:

Incongruous stamp... If I recall correctly there will be something similar on my postcards - they are from Warsaw, but stamps are with Serock view (Serock is a small city not far from here).
 
  • #113
I have to go kick some bottoms at my nearest post office to get more stamps for

Hypatia and christina.

Boy will they be sorry if they are still out.
 
  • #114
Wolram, Found your card today when returning home; thank you very much; a nice little scenery.
 
  • #115
remember before the internet when you sent postcards to people just to keep in touch? then the internet was such a great thing because you no longer had to send postcards to keep in touch?
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round.

Yeah, but after the end times, we'll be the only PFers still keeping in touch. It'll be just like that Kevin Costner movie, The Postman, or whatever the title was. (Admittedly, it was a little unrealistic - I seriously doubt a rock musician or other entertainer could ever be elected mayor of a city, even after the end times.:rolleyes:)

My first postcard! :cool:

The Santa Monica pier at sunset with palm trees and Catalina Island in the ocean.

And from a rule breaker, too. She wrote in the space reserved for US Postal Service.

No, it's a pier with an amusement park; not one where sailors hang out.

I think. What did you ask?
