AI Thread 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.

Niemcy is Germany. Netherlands is Holandia.

Please don't tell me "Outer Mongolia" is what you call America.

I have seen postcards traveling to US for 6 weeks before. No idea why. 3 weeks passed since I dropped them into the post box, they are somehwere at the middle of Atlantic presumably.

Please don't tell me "Outer Mongolia" is what you call America.

OK, I won't tell you.

Okay I just got my postcards that I'm sending out to everyone. I'm going to write something on them.

Note: They look awful, just dreadful looking.
The printing place must have compressed, and used a low quality printer. I sent them a huge image to put on a nice small card, and they even got that wrong.

Um...whoever gets my postcard should hold it 1/2 a meter from their eyes, it looks better that way.

It is my picture though, that I took. I'll probably post it here after everyone's received their cards, so that they can see it at full resolution.

Yours, Andre's, and MIH's cards just went out today.

Borek's is going out soon as well.
I had to scan what I drew on his card...I wanted to keep it after I drew it. :biggrin:

I might post it after he gets it, if he doesn't mind.

Thanks, Christina, great idea, I'll scan my cards and post them but it will take some time. (Not at home)

I'm sending everyone the same card, and I drew something in each just to make each different in a way.
I don't have a scan of anyone's except borek though. I sent them out before getting the idea to. :redface:

I just received an authentic, 1939, San Francisco, vintage, Worlds Fair postcard from Tsu.

Hand delivered.

I gave her a pee-card.

Not too impressive.

But, as compensation, I took her to the upper pee-tram tower for a look.

It was a beautiful day today.

I HAVE MAIL! http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/6785/pyrodancepleaseft2.gif

I went to the post office today and got my mail. Why aren't post offices open at night? I work during the day.

I have 2 from Andre, one from MIH, one from a mystery person in Colorado, one from Wolram, and one from Red Rum when he was in Cyprus.

Ok, I am a chump, I still have no postcards, I guess these will qualify as Christmas cards once i get them sent.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE GREAT CARDS!

Your quite welcome, Andre.
I think everything but the quality of the picture printed on the card is good.

I also think that it's good to put effort into things.


I enjoyed making the cards. :biggrin:

Borek! I was thinking of sending all of the people who were not afraid of sending me their addresses a cheesy little delightful xmas present. All I need to know is if Polish computers have usb ports.

ps. they are made in china, so you know it's going to be good.

If you think Polish computers are made in different place than those sold in US you may need a crash course in economy and globalization :wink:

I just need to make sure it's not one of those steam driven models. I'm sure this is what Wolram is operating.

China Christmas Gadgets Wholesale

Sorry, this product is currently unavailable, please enquire if you wish to order.

Stupid Chinese Santa...:mad:

Perhaps I can find them somewhere else. I'll keep looking.

They asked to hurry, perhaps you were just a little bit slow. Try again, just click faster.

Hey, why pick on me? but then again all those buttons are confusing, it took me over a year to find the (') button, and i do not have a clue what the blue symbols ones do.
And i am quite coputer savy now, i set up my wireless connection and new isp all by myself.
it did not work though, but that was not my fault.

Because the pilot light on your boiler keeps going out during Sunday chat.

That is the hub keeps needing resetting, the hub knows some how when i enter chat, i am sure it doe's not want me to have human interaction
And it is sly, it waits till i have typed some thing then throws a wobbly and flashes the finger up light at me.

For the record: 7 postcards dropped into the post box about 30 minutes ago

It was October 15th, I really hoped they will get to US before Christmas. As far as I remember Andre and Wolly got theirs, so far nobody from US confirmed receiving my mail, so the rest must have drown in Atlantic.

Or they were seized by Somali pirates, that's not exactly on the shortest path, but who knows.

I still think that there is a town full of Yak herders somewhere that is wondering why you sent them all those postcards. Or perhaps they went to http://www.japan-guide.com/forum/quereadisplay.html?0+17278".

Hy! Thank you for yours!

I always try and analyze everyone's card and find some hidden message or meaning.
I couldn't find any message or meaning in yours.
But I just love to stare at it. I do not know why.

I guess art and song are related that way.

So glad it arrived and that you are enjoying it.

Borek, someone paid off the pirates!

Your postcard - cleverly disguised as a letter - arrived today - thank you!
