[barb02]

I am still interested. Send me a PM with your addres or if you need mind. Sleepless in Illinois! Barb

[Kitty]

I'm still interested! I have all but a couple of addresses that were left untransferred into my address book. In fact, I just mailed out about 10 on Tuesday - so they should be getting to their destinations soon!! :)

[joellelee2000]

Count me in! I still have to mail out a few from Before.

[TheSleeper]

LOL have I mentioned I am a fiscal conservative? (read cheap) Actually all addresses were lost at the other place (no fun zone?) Not that I have gotten any cards yet, a work in process! Dang! 26 cents! LOL

[turtle_78]

I am still interested , I have not got any out yet. I have been sick going in 2 weeks and have not left the house(went to the doc) to get any :Sick: I will be getting out of the house this weekend I hope. then I will get them sent. :Writting:

[tamiloo]

Hey...I'll send you mine if you send me your...:Writting:

Don't do it MOOSE!:eek: OMG who knows what you would get in the mail! :D:D. I'm trying to save you from yourself, LOL;);)

[SurvivingMSwithHOPE]

Count me in! I wasn't in it "over there", but sounds like fun! :)

[freeinhou]

ok, who did I miss? Let me know!

Tom

[tamiloo]

Come on everyone...we lost the addresses over on the other side...please????

[Vonn07]

uh, TWINK ... you already sent me a card from beautiful UTAH ... now I would LOVE a cruise one .. hint hint!!

working on mine ... I've gotten 8 already: Illinois, Indiana, Utah, Massachusetts, Ohio, Georgia, Washington, Louisiana ... more more!! PM me .. my mailbox is empty ...

and, Moose!! .... what's your girlfriend going to think when you get all these cute cards from us girls (I know that Tom will send something about a space rocket! ;)) LOL

[SBrown45]

I've gotten quite a few already and sent most of mine out but there are a couple new people on here I would like to send to. I'll PM them for addresses!! It is so much fun to get something besides junk mail and bills for a change!! :D

[suzyqz_2007]

I agree it's a lot more fun than gettin bills and junk mail! If you'd like one from Houston just PM your address and I'll send you mine.

[GladysD]

Please count me in!! :) I PM you all a little later this evening.... :)

[KajunButterfly]

Have gotten a few postcards...very nice, would love to have more though. I have many left to send out also....PM your addy please.

[Chris]

I'm in, but what is a postcard exchange?:confused:

*See how easy I am?*

[snoodles]

I would love to do this - don't know how to begin with all the PMs
I am wondering if there a possibility we could find a safe way to post all our addresses to a site and then we could share the password and then have 1 stop shopping for all the addresses of those who want to participate....

[freeinhou]

I got another one today. From Kelly (herekitty1960). Thanks!

suzyqz_2007 - wanna exchange postcards, or just meet for lunch some time? I'll give ya some NASA trinkets!

Tom

[suzyqz_2007]

Hey Tom! We could do lunch sometime that'd be great! I missed the Houston get together back a while ago cause I was out of town. Maybe we could get some others in the area and have another one?

Susan

[Twinkletoes]

Tom

Hey, Tom! I met ya for dinner and you didn't bring ME any NASA trinkets! :girl(sad): But it's okay: I'd rather you take me up for an aerial tour of Houston! :wink:

Hey Suzyqz, whaddya think about that smooth pickup line? (Wanna exchange postcards, or just meet for lunch sometime?) :icon_rolleyes::D

[ashaffer99]

I have gotten a few postcards but would love some more! I am going to try to pm my address later.....

Geez! What a player! And who knew? He certainly seems nice enough....;)

I'm jealous. I either want to move to Houston (I like trinkets) or work at NASA (wonder if those lines work on men?) :D

[Carolina]

I love this postcard exchange!! If anyone wants any of my postcards that suck, send a pm my way!! I am going to give it one last effort this weekend to score some cool ones like I have received but conditions are not looking favorable....

[Carolina]

I've gotten quite a few already and sent most of mine out but there are a couple new people on here I would like to send to. I'll PM them for addresses!! It is so much fun to get something besides junk mail and bills for a change!! :D

I agree with that!! Every once in awhile, that Twink has a good idea!! ;)

[Vegasgrl]

I picked up a post card supply today. If anyone would like post cards from Vegas send me a pm.

[Kitty]

I have more to send out - hopefully I can get them in the mailbox today before the mailman gets here.

Even though I am from Georgia mine are pictures of Lighthouses from all over including Alaska and Hawaii - I couldn't find any others that were already pre-stamped!!

I never get to go anywhere - so I have to live vicariously through whatever means I can find!!

Hi Chris!

The postcard exchange is great! We trade addresses and mail each other postcards with themes from where we live. I don't think that is a hard and fast rule though:D. I believe you can send any kind of postcard you want.:p

We need some new faces (to some of us:)) in on this, it really is fun!

[freeinhou]

Hey, Tom! I met ya for dinner and you didn't bring ME any NASA trinkets! :girl(sad): But it's okay: I'd rather you take me up for an aerial tour of Houston! :wink:

I gave them all away before you got there! Hah! I'll make it up to you though.

Tom

What can I say...the offer of trinkets gets me every time! lol
:wink:

[Pickles]

Twink - Nobody tries to lure me with trinkets either...don't feel too bad.

[SBrown45]

Nobody ever lures me with trinkets either! Wonder what I'm doing wrong?? :p

[SBrown45]

If there is anyone I've missed getting an address for that wants to send me one, just drop me a PM or an email. (If you email make sure you put MS Postcard Exchange or something like that in the subject so I don't delete it!)

I've got postcards just sitting here waiting on addresses!!!

BTW, Twink, where are you going on your cruise?? I've never had a postcard from a cruise! HINT!!

[Vonn07]

If I missed anybody who would like to exchange with me - please PM me.

If I pm'd you twice - sorry - :o

Question - where do you get the postcards ???? Bookstore ????

I have never sent postcards before - and did I read somewhere yesterday that the postage is 16 cents ???? I'm a newbie at postcard sending... ;)

[freeinhou]

Well - I got a couple more today. From Sassy and Carolina! Michigan and Ohio. Go figure... (born in Ohio, grew up in Michigan).

Ok - I got enough postcards left to send to people that recently sent me their address - I'll send them out Monday from the lobby of the Johnson Space Center mission control center. I'm curious - what's the postmark say? Probably just Houston...

I'm gonna try these stupid smilie things...:grouphug::eek::rolleyes::D:D:D

Tom

[freeinhou]

Cool!!!! :) :p :)

[ckepi]

Hi all, I was so glad to see this has carried over to here!

I have pmd a bunch of you :D.

I have received 3 post cards so far.

I got one from Twink of beautiful Utah!

I got one from Joelle from Key west, great pick and story!

I got one from Sheila, sbrown45, of lovely Indiana!

Thanks so much I will get mine out soon, I have resigned to the fact that I'm gonna have to order some online unless I want to take a drive :rolleyes:.

I guess post cards are not so popular like they used to be but rest ashurd (sp?) I'll get them by hook or by crook!

Carrie:)

[Vonn07]

forgot to tell yas .. I got a card of an Alaskan lighthouse ... from herekitty1960 ... uh, she's from Georgia!! too cool!!

sending out Packer cards in the morning!!

[Kitty]

Ya'll will be happy to know that I'm getting out of the house today - going to visit my sister in Cumming, GA - so I'll be able to look for some GEORGIA postcards!! Wish me luck - I don't know where to start looking for them. My last batch of cards were ordered online through the USPS!! :)

[sassy]

How about rest areas along the expressways? Or gas stations that have gift stores attached?

[sassy]

Anyone made their own yet? The ones I sent out cost 1 dollar each and my son took a better pic of our beautiful depot than what is on the post cards I bought.

Unfortunately my printer is not laser so the colors and print will run if they get wet. Any ideas for me? Is there something you can coat them with to stop that?

Guess I'll go googling in the meantime.

[Chris]

I never thought that it would be hard to find postcards that are local to our area, but now that you mention it, we live fairly far within the city limits.:( I hope the local pharmacies will have some, othewise I may resort to "re-postcarding".:D

If you find some will you let me know where you found them? We live close to each other - and I am going to Cumming today - so if I find some during my outing I'll be sure to let you know where!! :)

[GladysD]

Well I'm officially bidding on Ebay!! Some vintage Boston 60's-70's cards....PLUS I've found some even more local and historical, but those don't end until mid-late week :)

I never thought it would be so hard to find postcards, LOL...

I'll have to look into making my own...I have some cool shots I took at Fenway a couple of years ago :D

[joellelee2000]

I just want to thank everyone at once for the postcards, in case I missed someone:p. My brain is not what it used to be:p:p:p

Thank you so much (in no particular order):hug::

clear plastic Contact Paper... I've used that (in the past) to make my own postcards from photographs.

here's how to do it:

[CayoKay]

I sent out my first batch of postcards from Belize... interested in knowing how long it takes to get up to the US, so, y'all lemme know, okay?

picked up a dozen more cards at the market this morning, so I'm ready to do some more, but... I need addresses!

also, a few addys got LOST when PMs went tilt elsewhere, so, PM me here, and we'll start afresh...

oh, and I haven't gotten ANY postcards yet (wah!) but hey, I just got two CHRISTMAS cards last week, so, I suppose... patience is a virtue?

:D

[SBrown45]

Question - where do you get the postcards ???? Bookstore ????

I have never sent postcards before - and did I read somewhere yesterday that the postage is 16 cents ???? I'm a newbie at postcard sending... ;)

I found postcards at travel centers on the freeways and toll roads. Stop at some of the bigger truck centers/stops where the cars also stop. I don't know what they would be named where you are but I've seen some named "Love's" and places like that. They were anywhere from $0.33 to $0.40 each.

The postage inside the continental U.S. for a 4 x 6 card is $0.26, to Canada it's $0.69, and International is $0.90. Straight from the USPS clerk at the post office!

[SBrown45]

I also just checked Walmart online and you can order postcards with your own pics from them. They start at $0.84 each. They've also got greeting cards starting at $0.33 each. Don't know what the difference is. Didn't take the time to check. It's probably easier than trying to cover with contact paper!

Just thought I'd let you know!!

[KajunButterfly]

Sheila, I found my postcards at a local truck stop! The postage was .26

[hjmom]

I ended up finding some postcards at Walgreens(the second time I went in there, not looking for them LOL). The first time when I went there specifically for postcards, I couldn't find them anyway. They had a whole rotating stand of them. They had a better selection than anywhere I found.

[Carolina]

Okay, everyone. I drove and drove and drove and FINALLY found postcards that have OHIO splashed across them. They still suck but at least they're not as bad as the other ones.

To those that I have already sent cards to (the artwork ones), I will also send you one of these. Imagine, two postcards from me that suck. Life doesn't get any better, eh? :rolleyes:

I bought all 33 of them!! So, send addresses my way.

BTW, for the peeps having trouble finding postcards, I found mind at Cracker Barrel. Of course, while I was there, I figured I might as well buy a sock monkey.....two garden sticks.....bbq sauce....hand creme.........my postcards ended up costing me $56.00 :eek:

[Tootsie]

I found mine at the local antique shop! Odd isn't it. I couldn't find them at the pharmacy, the grocery, the book store or anywhere but there. I'm sure they are lurking somewhere:winky:, but I've worn out my energy level.

I am using my Christmas stamps or some extras I have. I know it's more than the 26 cents required but the post office is about 10 miles away from me.

For people who are challenged by the thought of getting postcards, but want to participate do you know you can go to USPS online and order things there. The mailman will drop them off at your house!

Now that's service.

Tootsie:winky:

[duvabw]

I would love to exchange postcards!

I had been reluctant to post to the thread because I hadn't been posting much on the other site lately and just joined here. Twink was so sweet to send me a PM (thank you twink!).

So, if anyone is interested in exchanging postcards PM me your address and I will reply with mine.


:)

[suzyqz_2007]

I found some more postcards and went a little crazy lol now I have more postcards than address so if you'd like a postcard from Houston PM and we'll exchange addresses!

:Writting:

[braingonebad]

I am SO in. Going post card shopping tomorrow! *all psyched up!*

[Koala77]

I haven't put my name in here before because I live in Australia, and if anyone sends me a post card, it's going to cost you more to post it than to a neighbouring state.

But........I'm more than happy to trade addresses (by PM) with anyone who wants a Tasmanian postcard from me.....Tasmania is the state I live in, and is that little island at the bottom of Australia on the map! :D

[thecatsmeow]

I am still IN! I have bunches to mail so let me know if you want to trade. :) I just got 2 more today and one from my friend in Scotland also. :) A good mail day! Koala77 I will gladly send you a postcard. My uncle is in NSW and I am used to Aussie postage. Besides you live in a lovely area and I would LOVE a PC!

[SBrown45]

Koala77, I picked up extra international stamps last time I went to the post office. I must have know you were gonna join us!! :p

[CayoKay]

Tasmania is the state I live in, and is that little island at the bottom of Australia on the map! :D

cool! I used to know a guy from there.

we called him "Taz" after the Tasmanian cartoon dude:

So when I go to the post office I ask for an international stamp?? I've never sent anything out of the US before. :confused:

Sent you a PM Koala as I would love to exchange cards with you. I just need to figure out how to send international mail for you and Kayo!

[Koala77]

cool! I used to know a guy from there.

we called him "Taz" after the Tasmanian cartoon dude:




Tas or Taz is a pretty common nick-name for exTasmanians, when they live over on the "mainland" as we call the big island here!

PS. I do like your Tasmanian Devil though. It's certainly cuter than the real thing. :D

Sorry Kathy, but I don't know how postage works from your end. Maybe some-one else will be able to let us know.

[Blessings2You]

postcards .69 to Canada and Mexico
.90 to other countries

[braingonebad]

Amazon has several cool postcards to pick from too.

[hjmom]

:Dunno:Sorry to be so dumb, so if I just put 90 cents or more of regular stamps on the postcard it will get to the appropriate country - Belize and Australia?? Then I can just stick it in my mailbox for pickup. Looking for the easy way out. :winky:

[FlyFishin Momma]

I am up to 4 so far.......wwooo hooo....
Got yours Kathy ...... and twinks and Barb and Carolina...........

Thanks ya'll.........

I couldnt find any MO PC's locally.....so I made my own.I am taking them by the po today to see if they will work to mail this way.I may have to do some altering........

I am going to be in Branson this week so I will look for some MO cards over there......
I am loving this so much........

Thanks Twinks for starting this darlin'

and everyone else for getting it up and runnin!!!!!!\
Its actually COOL to look fwd to the mail everyday....I just pitch the bills on the desk and sit in my recliner and drift off to the places on the front of the postcards and visit with the sender in THIER neck of the woods...........

This is great medicine RO............

BTW.....can we cover them in contact paper? I wonder the rules so to speak..I will just have to find out at the PO today......I dont want the ones I send to get ripped up and they are just on regular card stock..and have been water color painted....I am afraid they will be easily ripped......

Hugs and all that,
Kay


(Kathy.....Why you feelin Blah?)

[suzyqz_2007]

I had hubby take a bunch of postcards to mail this morning so be watching for one from Houston! If I missed getting your addy and you would like one just let me know!

I have the same question. You are not dumb and neither am I :):):D:D!

[SBrown45]

I don't think any of us are dumb. It should work to just put the right amount of postage. Just call the post office and ask them. I do believe you can also order stamps from USPS.com and have them delivered to your mailbox. That would also save you a trip to the post office. :)

[Kitty]

I have the same question. You are not dumb and neither am I :):):D:D!


We're all geniuses (did I spell that right? :o) so don't ya'll forget it!! :D

Joelle, do you remember how many stamps I put on the MP when I sent it your way??? :eek::D I had no idea how much to put and I didn't want it to get sent back for insufficient postage so I probably put 20 first class stamps on that poor envelope!! I'm sure the Post Office has a good laugh on me!!:o

[AZjanie]

I have received several but would love more and I am in an area that is a little tourist town so we have lots to choose from.:)

pm me if you would like one. I just bought 12 but can get plenty more!:grouphug:

Okay, I just called and you can also go to USPS.com and they have a postage calculator.

It's 90 cents and they don't care what stamps you use as long as it totals that amount. At least that is what they told me. ;)

**Don't kill the messenger**

[Girlie Girl]

\I am up to 4 so far.......wwooo hooo....
Got yours Kathy ...... and twinks and Barb and Carolina...........


Kay and others, I promise mine are on the way!!! I just haven't gotten my butt to the post office. I think I am going to order the stamps online so they can drop them in my mailbox.

Massachusetts postcards are on the way. Anyone else like one?;)

[snoodles]

I am getting mine ready -need to go get the postage - have a BUNCH of postcards - went kinda crazy buying them - so I need some more addresses. :D

By the way, I bought a few at the Cracker Barrel, then went to a truck stop and bought a bunch more and they were cheaper, then I went to Wal-Mart where I shop at least 1 - 2 times per week - and what do you know - the Wal-Mart had a bunch and they were the least expensive and prettiest of all, sooooo of course I bought a bunch more !!!! I had never noticed that Wal-Mart had them - I have never sent postcards before...

Are you all placing them in scrap books and if so - how do you do it - I don't want to paste to a page because I want to be able to look at the back.

I am soooooo scrapbook illiterate - know NOTHING about how to even begin !!!

[turtle_78]

I am sending all mine out on tues. I just bought 12 of them.
If anyone else wants a postcard from me just PM me and let me know and I will get them out soon.:D

Since most of mine are 4 x 6 I'm putting them in a photo album for 4 x 6 photos. That way I can see front and back! :p

I was ROTFLMAO when I saw how many stamps you put on!:p:p I have a postal scale at home for just those occasions ;).

[thecatsmeow]

Hi again :) I just mailed out a whole bunch more so keep on the lookout! I also put mine in a photo album. Acid free so that the writing and the pictures do not get hurt over time.

Joyce =^oo^=

[hjmom]

I mailed 6 more postcards out today, including two international ones!!! This has been fun :D Since I found postcards at Walgreens, I'm doing good now. ;)

[ashaffer99]

I haven't sent any more out recently, but I will certainly try to get that done in the near future, I have just been feeling like crap and havent felt like doing anything....once again if anyone wants one from Nebraska just pm me!:Sick:

I recieved another lovely post card yesterday this time form HJMOM! thanks Louisianna, I hope I spelt that right, looks beautiful!

It is so great to get something in the mail just for me :D. As a wife and mother usually the only things for me lately have either been bills or about MS :rolleyes:. Its so nice to have something to look forward to getting.

[AZjanie]

Wow! Great idea!! Thanks Twink! :hug:

I found postcards at the tourist center here in town and they are six for a dollar!! :)

There are some really pretty ones of the town or desert flora and fauna. I mailed a bunch yesterday and the other 22 are going out today!:cool:

If you asked me for one it is in the mail or will be and if you haven't asked and would like one from Arizona pm me and I will get it mailed to you asap.

I just love doing this and I have received so many different ones and looking forward to more! :winky:

I have 28 or 29 postcards that will go in the mail tomorrow !!!
This is so fun !!!

I stopped and picked up stamps after work today and tried to get the correct postage for the International stamps (Belize and Australia) but it looks like those cards will get 3 stamps each. :p

I have a bunch more postcards and a bunch more stamps if anybody else wants a Tennessee postcard from me. :D

-- And I'm still "flirty" LOL - love that smilie... :)

Hi Snoodles,
I've kind of lost track on who I sent one to and got one from especially for the folks who didn't put their username on the postcard since I lost my PM's from before so for some I have no way to reconcile the username with the real name... I'll have to check:confused:

Anyway, I did the same thing for my Belize and Australia postcards, used 3 stamps. I had to call my hubby and ask him how much was a stamp these days. We had stamps at home, but he always buys them and there was no amount on them LOL. Stuck three on the international ones and one on the others and stuffed them in my mailbox. Took the easy way out on that :D

Kathy

[MSCherokee]

OK, hope I won't get in trouble for this, but I feel it's important and didn't want to start another thread and draw more attention to it.

If you need to retrieve any of your information from your stored PM's at that other site, you will be able to get your PM information from 2/4-2/10. :D

[Vonn07]

[barb02]

I got 2 postcards today. Thanks to Susan from Houston (you should not brag about weather in the 70s when we just got 9 inches of snow:D) and to Carolina from Ohio. Since I am from Ohio I remember what it looks like. At least you also have hills and trees. Nothing but corn and soybeans here in the land of Lincoln.:rolleyes:

[CayoKay]

You are so very welcome! I agree...it is so much more enjoyable opening the mailbox to "fun" mail instead of the usual bills.

Anyone else want one from MA...PM me your address and I'll send one off to you!

[barb02]

[tamiloo]

Two more today...thanks Snoodles and GladysD!!!

[Chris]

I received two more today as well. Thank you Twinkletoes, and GladysD. They were both beautiful postacrds. For some reason, Twink thinks I am an "awesome MOD". Perhaps you meant to put "AWESOME BOD"?:D

I was just out at the Dr., and then to the grocer, and am having a difficult time finding postcards. Does anybody have any ideas for me? I am at a loss.:confused:

[Twinkletoes]

Lol Chris!

Thanks to all you postcard senders! I got 3 today. Woohoo! Got my Belize one last week. Thanks Kayo!

And there was a silly girl from Ohio who sent a 2nd one, cause she didn't think the 1st was very cool. Lol!

I got all my pics on a CD today, so maybe I can figure out how to post a picture of my picture postcards! (Tech challenged)

BUT WAIT!!! There's MORE!!! Finally finished opening my mail and discovered a hand-made one from Tucson, AZ!!! How pretty! Thanks Tricia! :)

All the cards are so pretty and the messages are so much fun to read.
It has literally been years since I have received mail that wasn't a bill or junk. With the Internet - nobody writes letters or sends cards anymore so this is such a treat !!! :D

In the next few days I have to get out and pick up a photo album to store the cards ! :)

Thanks again !!!

[thecatsmeow]

I recieved 3 more today. :) Thanks to Snoodles, Carolina and Vonn07. The Green Bay Packer one you sent Vonn is AWESOME!!!! I have more if anyone wants one from Washougal, WA. Just PM me. Also working on some Valentiney ones.

Joyce

[Twizzler]

CHRIS, Do you have any old-fashioned pharmacies in your area? Also, try any hotel/motel--they should have some for sale in their gift shop. I had a bit of trouble finding postcards myself. Good Luck!:D

[reillymo]

I was very excited to get THREE postcards today!

Thanks to Michelle (Twizzler), Janie (AZJanie) and Nancy (Snoodles)!

Only one problem - Janie - I don't have your address:( So I sent you a private message - hopefully you will get it so I can send you one

If anyone hasn't sent me their address - I still would love to send more..please just PM me your addy!

wouldn't it be great if we could all get one from nearly every state? never mind so many other countries!

Mo aka Maureen

[Koala77]

OK, OK.....mine are in the mail.

Honest, they have all been posted. You just have to be patient peoples. :D

[duvabw]

What do we need for the international stamps??


Post Office told me postage is 60 cents to Mexico and Canada and 90 cents to all other countries.




I was just out at the Dr., and then to the grocer, and am having a difficult time finding postcards. Does anybody have any ideas for me? I am at a loss.:confused:


Any truck stops close by?
I live in the boonies and couldn't find postcards anywhere. Thought I was going to have to print my own. Hubby finally went to a truck stop in the next town up from here and they had a whole rack of them.

[duvabw]

Received two more postcards today ... Big thanks to Twink and Snoodles! :)


Finally got mine in the mail today.

[prettypearlgirl]

If you can all PM me your contact info and addresses, I'd love to send out some postcards;) I got one from Herekitty this past week!!

Carolyn:)

[Sneaky Sam]

Hi Twinkle!

I'd be happy to be a part of your postcard exchange. We chat again soon!

Sneaky :o

[sassy]

I got two yesterday! One from Tennessee and another from Utah! Thanks Snoodles and Tamiloo.

I am fighting a nasty cold bug that hubby shared with me so be patient it may be a few days before I get out and about.

[Girlie Girl]

I got one from Tennessee yesterday!!!! Thanks Snoodles, I loved it. I could just picture myself walking down the path to that house....ummmm, very peaceful. :hug:

[Girlie Girl]

I received two more today as well. Thank you Twinkletoes, and GladysD. They were both beautiful postacrds. For some reason, Twink thinks I am an "awesome MOD". Perhaps you meant to put "AWESOME BOD"?:D

Chris, I found mine in a Hallmark paper store. Do you have a store like that around? :confused:

[Vonn07]

sorry .. I've had no phone since sunday ... and will get more cards out (Becki's & GG's too! thanks for your addy) ... after reading the last few pages of posts - there are quite a few that I do not have yet!! :eek: they may not be Packer postcards - but if you'd like one from me, PM me!! thanks!!

[reillymo]

Thanks Annelee - got your lovely card from the Mississippi River today!:)

Finally got out of the house today and mailed out 20 or so cards!

Thanks!
Mo

[Koala77]

YAY!! I got my first cards today! Three..... all on the same day! :D

Mel :Dancing-Chilli:

:Writting:

Who do I PM my addy too? Just PM everyone here on the thread? PM me if you want some postcards from me.

Moose will probably sell my addy or something LOL

[SurvivingMSwithHOPE]

Yeaaaa, I finally recieved my postcards stamps. I ordered last Wednesday, never figured it would take 7 days!:eek:

I've recieved several, THANK YOU, would list them all but don't have them here in front of me, so don't want to leave anyone off!

Will get them out this week, if we haven't exchanged addy's yet, please PM me, I have several to send:)

Glad to see you here Melissa (80sgurl). PM me your address!:hug:

[CayoKay]

Moose will probably sell my addy or something LOL

to the highest bidder, no doubt!

but then I'll have to hunt him down, and paddle his bottom.

:D

[AZjanie]

If anyone would like a postcard from Arizona let me know. I'm in a tourist area so lots of cards to choose from and 5/$1.00 so cheap too!:p

I mailed out 29 so far and received 12; thanks all!!

Our pony express here is a three-legged mule but they will get there eventually.

Isn't it neat to get postcards instead of just junk and bills??

I love it and started a postcard album that has clear pages on both sides so names and messages show through.

This was a great idea Twink!! Thanks!!:hug:

Janie

[Carolina]

[turtle_78]

My kids are loving it too. they get to look at teh pictures that come in the mail. My son keeps asking about the Gingerbread man ( will put that in another thread). Thanks to everone for making my day brighter when I go to the mail box:)

[MooseasaurusRex]

Moose still trying to get out on I-95 or somewhere to buy some postcards.

[Vonn07]

wasn't this such a good idea :idea: to send out cards and such to our buds?? :Bow:

someone mentioned to me that it's fun to go to the mailbox .. hmm, Banner!! Banner!! where are you??? .... because you get good mail instead of all those bills and junk!!

and we are venturing out to get cards, etc instead of running to doctors and appointments all the time!!

yes - we are DEFINITELY having a blast!! :rocket:

I am!!

we are rich :Rich: with friends!!

:Thank you:

[joellelee2000]

I want to thank everyone who has sent me a postcard:D:D:D! I have lost track of who I thanked already:o:o.

I mailed out a new batch today (1 of them to Belize and 1 to Australia). Let's see how they take to get there:D:D.

Hi Janie!

Where did you get the album with clear pages on both sides? I really want one too:):)

[GladysD]

I wanted to stop in and say Thanks to the cards I have already received :)
I've got two from Utah, and one each from Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Illinois.

I just received two new requests and shall send out accordingly :D

FYI, sometimes you can find some bulk postcards on Ebay :) I was pretty excited to have three of the MA Statehouse...I filed one in each of my boys baby books ;)

[Koala77]

Hi Janie!

Where did you get the album with clear pages on both sides? I really want one too:):)

Joelle, I don't know about where you live, but I bought mine at a stationary shop....where you buy writing paper and envelopes. Another place here in Oz that sells them, are the shops that sell school supplies.

[tamiloo]

Got two great cards today...Amy (duvabw) from Kentucky...and Carolina from Ohio...fantastic cards...thanks!!!:hug:

[AZjanie]

Hi!
I got the small clear page albums at Dollar General store! I wasn't even looking for them and instead I was looking for small mailers and found them. I bought two as they probably only hold 15 or 20? At $1.00 each I thought I could splurge on two!! :p

I have to trim about 1/6" off the postcard to fit since it is meant for photos but works perfectly! I like the clear sheets as I can read the back of them too.:)

I wrote names, addresses and the screen names on a piece of paper and keep it in the stationery drawer so I can refer to it if I forget whos who?? :confused:

I can't wait for the mail each day and have plenty more to send if you'd like one or for the children too! :wink:

Hugs and giggles,
Janie

[barb02]

Received a postcard from Tom in Houston today. Thank you!

[Carolina]

Got two great cards today...Amy (duvabw) from Kentucky...and Carolina from Ohio...fantastic cards...thanks!!!:hug:

Do you know that I mailed yours on the same day that I mailed Koala's to TASMANIA and she received hers first!! :eek:

Either the postal services acknowledges how special Anne is and delivered in warp speed or they're just really disorganized! Maybe both. :D

I just hope the ones I sent out don't take too long to get there.

[freeinhou]

Got duvabw's postcard today! Thanks Amy. What's that white stuff they're eating??? Looks like a Texas salt flat...

Tom

[Vonn07]

stopped at dollar general and picked up a 24-page 4x6 book ... and keep the postcards in that! did I say $1 ... YEP! :rich: ... so, I didn't break the bank - and have more $$ for postcards and postage!!

OH - then I took some small labels and wrote everyone's name/signon and stuck it in the corner .. so when I flip thru it - I can see who sent the card!! cool, huh?? :idea:

[Koala77]

DH just got back from posting cards to Utah and WI for me.

Does anyone else want a card from Tasmania, the island state of Australia? :confused:

[reillymo]

Thanks to Amy <duvabw> for my card from KY today!

[Carolina]

Moose still trying to get out on I-95 or somewhere to buy some postcards.

I'm sure you'll be worth the wait, Moose! ;) :hug:

[Twinkletoes]

It was a really good mail day:

received 2 postcards, one from Hibbing, MN (who knew that was Bob Dylan's birthplace?) and a funny one from Lerayeville, PA.

And a cute card & postcard from Anthem, AZ. Thanks, ladies!

Was also very excited to finally receive an envelope from Brazil: we sponsor a cute 12 yo boy thru Christian Children's Fund. He drew a picture and actually wrote a sentence in English! I was so surprised!

I haven't been good to individually thank those who have sent postcards. Please accept my gratitude, ladies. It's fun to get to know you a little better.

Hmmm, I wonder what you can tell about a person by her choice of postcards???

Again, thanks everyone! XOXOXOXOX :hug:

[greenjeans]

Oh Twinkletoes!
I helped raise 3 children in South America. I cherished, and still have, every picture and letter they ever sent me. They are so pure and grateful for the help. One of my kids actually made it into college and was the star of a local Rock and Roll band. Proud Godmother I was!!!

I really should get another one...they grow up so fast!!!

[tamiloo]

Thanks for the cards...Becki and kelly...they are great. My Olhipie loved the Bob Dylan one!!

[duvabw]

Received a postcard from Tom (freeinhou) today! :)

Thanks!

[hjmom]

I received a beautiful postcard from Tasmania, Australia - Thank you so much Koala!!! I also received a lovely Kentucky one with horses on it from Amy!

Thanks Ladies!!

[Koala77]

I received a beautiful postcard from Tasmania, Australia - Thank you so much Koala!!! .........................


I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully the rest of mine should arrive around your nation soon. I did say they were in the mail :)

[reillymo]

Wow! I received three today!

Once from Barb in Charleston, Joyce (thecatsmeow) and Becki in MN.

It is so much fun going to the post box now:cool:

Will be picking up more cards this weekend as I owe about 5 people!

Take care

Mo

[CayoKay]

I got POSTCARDS !!

I got POSTCARDS !!

YIPPEEE !!

lol, it was fun to get some mail here today...

there was a gorgeous one of Barb's school...

and a lovely lighthouse from Carolina!

and a cool Mardi Gras from Kathy

and a busy skyline from Vonn.

and a squirrel from Sheila!

there, was that discreetly descriptive enough?

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

that was my first MAIL (of any sort!) in months, so I guess I'm a little excited.

:D:D:D

now, somebody help me calm down.

I've been outside with a flashlight, helping hubby head off a march of ARMY ANTS !!

we were alerted to the disturbance by the chickens freaking out...

my husband is still out there in the dark, saying some VERY choice words, and trying to make a moat around the chicken coop.

hugs all, think I'll go back out and assist in the endeavor.

[Koala77]

Hmmmm....................

now I'll have to put my thinking cap on the find one as interesting as those..........
....let me see......:Scratch-Head:

[SBrown45]

:sorry:

I have to apologize for not posting my thanks before now for the cards I've received over the last week and for not sending out any more cards yet. Can I make the excuse that I've been very sick?? Actually it's not really an excuse. I've spent most of my time in the bed, bath and beyond!! LOL.

I got cards from GladysD, Turtle 78, a Packers card from Von (that's my hubby's favorite team), and one from duvabw. I've got more cards to get out and I'm going to work on them this weekend and get them out Monday.

This has been so much fun that I don't intend to stop with just one card to everyone. You get to know people on here through the posts and it's fun to keep in touch. As you're reading posts you find out what different people like and don't like and all sorts of stuff about them. I've already got something in mind for someone. It comes from something I love to do and something she has mentioned she loves so that will be going out shortly. Does that make everyone wonder??? :D

Since I've been off-line for several days and I've missed the new people that have come on I hope that they will PM me their addresses. I'm going to try to catch all the posts and PM them but I might miss someone and I don't want to do that!

Take care!! :hug:

Hey Kay,

it's the real village post office, five blocks from my land...

on the bench (a board on cement blocks) you can see where I tossed my black purse, so I'd have both hands on my camera.

[CayoKay]

My hubby wants to come live with ya'll. He says he'd rather put up with really, really huge bugs than some of the people he has to work with!!

Wait, wait....I stand corrected....I have just been informed.....

As much as he likes the tropics, he has changed his mind!

Now that he has a new friend in his dream land - Tasmania - he has decided to escape there!!

*** Run, Anne, run!!! ***

(See what a postcard will do!) :eek: :D:D

As much as he likes the tropics, he has changed his mind!

Now that he has a new friend in his dream land - Tasmania - he has decided to escape there!!

*** Run, Anne, run!!! ***

(See what a postcard will do!) :eek: :D:D

[SBrown45]

I want to thank those of you who have sent me postcards! ;)

Unfortunately, I have no addresses to return the favor. :(

Cayo, I used to live in the PI so I know exactly what kind of PO you have! Great picture!!! :D

All's ya gotta do is ask!! :D

I didn't think to put my return address on the postcards. Kinda dumb of me!!

[SBrown45]

OMGLMAO!!! After a really hard and trying week - I just read this to my husband and he agrees!!!

He works in a viper pit - big bugs are nothing!!

Looks like we'll be joining ya - maybe we can get a discount on airfare!! :D

:holysheep: A REAL viper pit??? What exactly does your hubby do????????

[Carolina]

:holysheep: A REAL viper pit??? What exactly does your hubby do????????


:ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO: No, that was said metaphorically but that's what he calls them!!

Wouldn't that make an interesting conversation though? "How was your day, dear? Get bit?" More like, "Well, I guess you didn't get bit, you're here!" :wink: :D

[AZjanie]

WOO HOO!!

I received more post cards in the mail today!! Thanks everyone and I sent more out today so keep lookin' as I have everyones addresses and I KNOW where you live!! :eek:

Monday I will go back to the visitors center and get 10 more!! I love choosing and sending cards!:)

Any of you with children who would enjoy a card from Arizona..I can be Santa on vacation and I am still watching you. :rolleyes:

I just sent one today from the gingerbread man.:p

[SBrown45]

even the scorpions? and the tarantulas? and the boa constrictors?

and the ARMY ANTS?

lol, S, I only go outside if I'm WELL-covered, and shod!

give him a hug for me, and tell him Belize is wonderful, if you're fearless!

:hug:

Okay Kay,

I showed him the pic of the army ants and he says he'll take those and the scorpions and the various other creatures any day over the people he works with. He says they have made him fearless!! Me on the other hand, not so much!!! :eek: I'd have to have a really good, really looonnnnnggggg camera lens and do my looking from that!! :ROTFLMAO:

I do think I would like to visit one day, but I'm not sure I could live there permanently like you do. I have to say you have more guts than I do!!

Take care out there in the wild!! :hug:

[greenjeans]

Dreaming of Belize :D

We have mosquito problems here...I can get out of my truck, run to my cabin door and unlock it, and be bitten a dozen times. We use lots of bug dope, even on the dogs to spare them! We also line the cabin with citronella candels and wicks....works great...if you have enough!!!

Those ants could carry a human off!! LOL!

[Vonn07]

hey GJ ... sorry about the bug-gy issue with skeeters ... they actually don't like me ... and with the tingly/numbness - can't feel anyways on the left side if they try to 'pick on me' ...

I do have some good bug-dope that I get from Avon ... and also - the skin so soft stuff ... I've heard this from horse owners that would buy SSS by the gallon for their horses!

talked with a friend of mine yesterday - about having a 'summer' home in alaska, and then spend the winter in Wisconsin (november to april) ... hmmm - I'm thinking this would be very 'healing' for me!

working out the details!! :hug:

I also have a mossie problem. They just loooove me, but I am allergic to their bites! If there's just one within a 5 mile radius, it'll find me.

I've tried just about every product there is on the market to try and prevent me getting bitten, and the only one I've ever found that works for me is the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard (and I am not usually an Avon person). I was getting relief for a while from Lavender cream, but after a while that seemed to lose it's effectiveness.

[Twizzler]

Thanks to the following people for sending me postcards this week: :Thank you:

I just :heartthrob: Love :heartthrob: receiving them, and my sons enjoy finding where each person lives on their globe.:icon_biggrin:

I've tried just about every product there is on the market to try and prevent me getting bitten, and the only one I've ever found that works for me is the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard (and I am not usually an Avon person).

I'm from California, and spent lots of time at the beach.

especially loved sunsets, over the ocean, so spiritually soothing, and beautiful.

so, I come to Belize, and want to see my very first sunRISE over the ocean.

I crawl out of the hostel bunk-bed when it's still dark, and take a few steps out to the Caribbean, and sink into the beautiful soft sand, crosslegged, and wait.

it's quiet, and beautiful, the stars are winking out one by one, and I'm meditating, and watching the dawn come towards me.........

did I mention my legs are numb? and that I'd never HEARD of such a creature as sand fleas?

oh *&%$#&^% !!

I counted the bites later (totally unfair MS problem, didn't feel the BITES, but, unfortunately, I CAN feel the itch!)

lol, I had SEVENTY FIVE bites on my calves, shins, and feet!

:eek::cool::eek:

some helpful person told me that Avon's SKIN SO SOFT is something that works well for keeping off the sand fleas.

I'm all: "NOW ya tell me!?!"

:p:o:p

First time I ever "met" sand flies (or midges) here in Oz was a few years back. I was fishing off a pier with DH at sunset (the very worst time), in a pair of shorts and a bikini top.........I'd never even heard of sand flies or midges then. They are so tiny that you can't see them, and you don't even feel them bite..... They sound very much like kissing cousins to your sand fleas Kay.

Needless to say I couldn't count the number of bites, and all the pharmacies were closed, and I hadn't discovered SSS by then........You don't want to know about the night I had. :eek:

[Carolina]

I left little blood spots all over the sheets, from scratching in my sleep.

and yeah, sand fleas are also called sand flies here.

I found mine at a Hallmark paper store. Good luck finding some.

Oh yes, the lovely sand fleas!:) Fortunately, I was warned about them when I moved here :D! We also have the mosquito problem in the summer.

My first Halloween here (still summer in S. Florida!), I was outside handing out candy with my new neighbor and couldn't figure out why she was wearing long-sleeves and jeans when it was 85 degrees! I found out later :):)!! I had on capri pants and a short sleeved top. The next morning I woke up with my legs and arms covered with bites! I learned my lesson the hard way LOL.

Kitty,

I got all mine at truck stops on the toll road and freeways. You should be able to find some where they sell those little souvenirs and fireworks and such. I know I've seen them going into Georgia and Alabama. Just go into the bigger stores - not the sleazier little ones - we do want you coming back out, you know!! :eek:

[AZjanie]

We have no mosquitoes here or fleas either which surprised us being in the desert. We have the "bug man" come every month because some of our neighbors have seen ants and little scorpions in their homes!

I gladly write the "bug man" a check each month to keep them outta here; the bugs not the neighbors!! On second thought....
:)

We do have lizards in the back yard; little ones who just terrify me but my 82 year old Mom just loves to sit out on the patio and watch them scamper around.

One was sitting on the edge of the spa one afternoon last Fall while I was in the water. When I saw that 10 foot long DRAGON (3" lizard) I let out a yell and really flew outta there!!
:eek:

Bet I set a new record for the long jump!! :p

[AZjanie]

BTW:

Some of the sleazy rest stops are great places to find post cards. Just don't use the rest rooms; don't even go NEAR that area!!!!
:eek:

I have seen some so bad I wiped my feet on the way out! :rolleyes:

[braingonebad]

I gave up and ordered my PCs on Amazon. They finally got here.

Not Ohio cards, but okay. No way was I braving the cold (not to mention the truck stops, lol)

And thanks Snoodles and Freeinhou! Got your cards.

:)

DGD loved the shuttle pic, Tom. *Vroom Vroom!*

Reminds me of the first time I saw an opossum. I was from NJ, so I had never seen one before and thought it was a giant rat. Scared the holy heck out of me.

:ROTFLMAO:

[Koala77]

Wow!! None of neither? :confused: Consider yourself blessed AZjanie! They are the bane of my life! :eek:

.......I gladly write the "bug man" a check each month to keep them outta here; the bugs not the neighbors!! .......


Once a month surprises me. We get the bug man in once a year to spray for redback spiders and other creepy crawlies, and the once a year spray lasts all year round. We always know when the year is almost up because we start to see the occassional little spider or ant inside the house.

We have lots of little lizards in the garden and I also find them interesting to watch.

I do however think I'd be way out in front of you, if a lizard 10 foot long crept up on me without me knowing about it. :OuttaHere:

You're scared of geckos????? They're just so darn cute!! I'm with your mom on this one!

The last time we were in the Bahamas, nearly every morning, I shared my cereal with a gecko while sitting on the picnic table. Not sure if it was the same one or not.....:D

[AZjanie]

Lizards are creepy!

They look like snakes with legs!!:eek:

They like to sneak up on me when I don't expect it and nearly scares the pudding outta me!

Whats even worse is they run off to their lizardy friends and I'm sure I hear their raspy giggling "yep; scared that old lady again!":D

No way, Janie! This is coming from the woman who has eaten snails and snakes? You might not like to look at a lizard, but I'd bet you'd eat him if he were on your dinner plate!!! :D

[AZjanie]

Oh yeah!!

They are much more attractive on a plate!! Yummy!:p

btw: Twink; yesterday I sent you a postcard with a rattlesnake recipe!! Now all you have to do is find a rattlesnake!:D

I have never seen one in five years we have been here but a few people in town are bitten every year.. probably trying to pet the nice little snakey!
:eek:

Janie - You've eaten SNAKE?????!!!! YECK!! ICK!!! PFFFTT!!! Puhleeze, don't even tell me your sceered of cute lil' geckos after you have had snake in your mouth.... (um, that does not sound good).

Maybe the geckos are sneaking up on you for what you have done to their friends without legs! Next will be the poison dart frogs!

[thecatsmeow]

I am so far behind on this thread. I hope I have gotton post cards to all who have given me thier addresses. Many thanks to all who have sent them to me. I did send out belated Valentines this morning. Belated because I do not think they will make it by Thursday. :D Its been a tough few weeks.
I still have more postcards if anyone else want one. :) I promise if you give me your address you will get a card. :D

[tamiloo]

Rochelle did you get my postcard yet???

[AZjanie]

My neighbor came over to visit yesterday and said she saw a lizard when she was sweeping her patio!

YIKES!! RETURN OF THE KILLER LIZARDS!! :eek:

I hope they will just stay out in the yard eating bugs instead of terrorizing me this year.

Seems every time I would be out hanging up clothes one would sneak up on me and I would nearly end up on the clothesline!!

I don't know why they keep after me; maybe they just want to sell me an insurance policy??

[CayoKay]

hey, Janie... we've got Jesus Lizards here (so named, because they can "walk" on water)

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3959/basilisklizarddz1.jpg

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2803/jesuslizardnw7.png

Abundant in the tropical rain forests of Central America, from southern Mexico to Panama, green basilisks spend much of their time in the trees and are never far from a body of water. When threatened, they can drop from a tree into the water and sprint, upright, about 5 feet per second across the surface.

To accomplish this, they have long toes on their rear feet with fringes of skin that unfurl in the water, increasing surface area. As they rapidly churn their legs, they slap their splayed feet hard against the water, creating a tiny air pocket that keeps them from sinking, provided they maintain their speed. They can move along the surface like this for 15 feet or more.

This one looks like me trying to get out of the shower (except my tail is fatter)!! :o

Kelly

[CayoKay]

I was thrilled to see a Jesus Lizard run across a creek that feeds into the Macal River.

but then again, I was safely inside the car, lol.

our chickens pretty much keep the geckos, lizards, and iguanas away from around the outside of the house.

my main worry is scorpions and snakes... and fire ants, and killer bees... so I only go outside in tall boots, and long sleeves.

oh, and guess what, Janie?

I built my house with a LONG screened porch, so I can hang the laundry INDOORS, and not have to deal with, er, um, "surprises"

and I bought a five-line retractable 15 foot long clothesline, and a tall cushioned stool and work table (sized to fit a laundry basket), so I can gaze out at my farm, and pond and such, from comfortable safety.

:D

oh, and LOL, Kitty, on the tail!

I have another batch of cards ready to go out tomorrow.

incoming mail doesn't arrive until Friday...

[CayoKay]

I don't know why they keep after me; maybe they just want to sell me an insurance policy??

I gotcher insurance guy right here!

a gecko, running across my ceiling:

http://www.geocities.com/kayl3on/thumbnails/gecko03435.thumbnail.jpg

they're really tiny, from an inch or two, up to 6 inches...

I don't really mind them, as they eat lots of bugs for me.

now THIS one is a tad more fearsome:

http://www.geocities.com/kayl3on/pictures/Iguana_03.JPG

took that photo from my front porch... it's a green iguana...

isn't she BEAUTIFUL?

she's about FIVE FEET long, from nose to tip of tail.

http://www.belizezoo.org/zoo/zoo/herps/igu/igu1.html

they're actually harmless, really, I promise!

[AZjanie]

EEK!!:eek:

I'll have nightmares after seeing those monsters!! Great idea about the clothesline; wish I could do that.

I think you really have a few more and even bigger scarier critters than we do!!

If I saw a lizard on the ceiling I would be digging a basement and we are on a slab!:p

[CayoKay]

you said you traded blizzards for lizards.

do you still think you got the better end of the deal?

:cool:

me, I'd rather clean up gecko poop than shovel snow, but that's just me.

:D

[CayoKay]

PS: sorry if I caused you any nightmares, dear!

:o

shall I start posting virtual postcards of bugs instead?

:eek:

[AZjanie]

Okay; ya got me. :o

Yes; I traded blizzards for lizards!:)

I would rather have the little beasts than cold gray days, ice and snow.

It could be worse; I could be shoveling snow and chipping ice off the windshield.

I still don't like 'em though and the little creeps still sneak up and scare me on purpose!! :mad:

[Koala77]

Just one more thing to love about NT is how far we are allowed to go :Off-Topic: without getting smacked over the knuckles.....or did I speak too soon? :confused: Maybe we should start a lizards and creepy crawly topic!

I'm intrigued by lizards and gheckos and I did see a green iguanna just like that one Kay, when I was in Fiji many moons ago, and I do have a picture somewhere .....:Scratch-Head:... We had a little ghecko living in our house at one stage (when we lived in the tropics) and he did his best to keep our indoors bug free! They're harmless AZjanie and ever so cute. :)

Back onto postcards..........I sent out more this morning, but bought up big yesterday if anyone else would like one from Australia.

My DH is enjoying this post card exchange just as much as I am. He beats me to the mail box every day, and I never get to look at any I've received until he's finished perusing them! :D

hubby picked up the mail today and told me there was a POSTCARD for me..

but he hasn't brought it IN yet, and for sure, I AIN'T a-goin' OUT in the DARK to look in the truck, nuh-UH!

:p

[AZjanie]

Hey girl!!

Call me the OT Queen!!

I got your postcard and shared it with my friend from Australia. She said the Tasmanian Devils are really ugly critters and don't look a thing like the cartoon character!

Hope you got mine ok. I sent out a bunch and kept track of names and addresses so hopefully each person I sent one to got it ok or will since I sent out a few more today.

[reillymo]

Thanks Tom for the great postcard from Houston!

Thanks for that link Kay. I had a look at some of your wild life, and although your jungle sounds idyllic, I think I'll stay here with my playpus, cute koalas, wombats, and kagaroos.

Virtual postcards of your bugs and critters will do me just fine! ... :eek:

I did get your post card thank you Janie......it arrived here on the 7th. I sent you a PM letting you know and I'm sorry if you didn't get it.

You're quite right.... the Tasmanian Devil is a nasty little critter and ugly as sin. Unfortunately this tiny island is the only place in the world where you'll find it in the wild. For some reason they've been struck down with a deadly form of cancer over the past couple of years, and unless they find the reason why and a cure, the little animal could be wiped out in a few years!

That's sad, because the Tasmanian Tiger also was wiped out back in the 1930's, but mostly by man that time.

Here's a link about the Tasmanian Tiger, and also one to our Tasmanian Devil.

[CayoKay]

oh, good link on the Tasmanian critters there.

I didn't know about the cancer, that's horrid!

and they have no IDEA what's causing it?

some environmental pollutant perhaps?

:mad::(:mad:

Have a great day everyone!

[Vonn07]

this is so cool about the postcards .. I'm behind .. all of a sudden (which is a good thing) .. I've been bombarded with tax returns ... :yikes:

you bug/lizard folks should start a 'YOU BUG ME .. YOU BUG ME NOT' thread - you may find alot of lovers and haters there!!

we've had some nasty weather here to get out and get the postcards in the mail ... but will get somemore out soon ...

thanks to all already - will have to get another postcard album ... my friend has one of those 100 page 'flip' albums that she keeps on her desk at work - the other day .. I saw a postcard from Alaska that I sent to her in it ... that was the fall of 2005 ... that was cool!!

later gators!! LOL or should it be 'later lizards' ....

I got more cards!! I received a postcard from Becki and a Valentine's card from Joyce. Thanks to both of you!

And Joyce - thanks for the trip down memory lane - I can just smell the glue and chalk now!! :D
