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.

Good, they are on the move :smile: Strange that Andre didn't get his one first, one may think he is in the same direction, just closer.

Well it dropped just in today. Thanks. Is "Niemcy" Germany or The Netherlands? Might that have caused the delay?

Niemcy is Germany. Netherlands is Holandia.

I just received Wolram's and Andre's cards.
I like the flowers on the card Andre sent me, and the texture of the card that Wolram sent me is quite nice as well.

Now I'm feeling guilty that I haven't sent mine yet, so I'll order mine online today.
Just wondering if I should make them all the same or some different. I'll decide.

Thank you Wolram, it arrived today. Now I need to know why they plan on getting rid of the Viaduct?

Thank you MIH for the great birthday card! I love it.

There is plans to build houses and a hotel on the site, it would all most double the size of the village, needless to say none of the locals want that, but these guys have been trying for over five years now and they will not quit.

You all know I'm in the "Postal" industry don't you? I can use these messages as confirmation of "transit tests" and use them as tax write offs. That's about 85 cents I'll be getting back next year. Woo Hoo! Early retirement beckons.

Do you need to collect some formal reports from us for that, or just "Om, your card is here" in this thread will suffice? :wink:
 
  • #193
Hey Christina - I just found your email. I will send you a postcard soon, but don't eat it, OK? I think we can take recycling just so far.

Are you the one who keeps raising the stamp prices in the U.S.?

Whoa! So now, instead of "going postal", we can "go Cheeto"!

I'll be sending all of my correspondee's a 9 part pdf form. It shouldn't take more than an hour to fill out. Oh, and it's in triplicate. So you'd better buy a lot more stamps.

Won't it be better if you will be buying stamps? We can't write them off, you can :smile:

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)
