Yes! Brian Cox is one of our current crushes (we both have a thing for astrophysicists, I just wish more of them were young, hot females). I've added the quote to my collection of Quotes I'm Going to Immortalize In Caligraphy, Once I Get Around To It. Thanks!

This makes me unreasonably happy :neckbeard: Glad I made some good choices and that you enjoyed the card! And I'm going to second the notion that button-stand-up cards are great and make rather attractive decorations!

I'm back and I'm ready to send some mail out! I owe several of you some replies so I'll be getting on it this week! I know this is well over due and my apologies! Thank you to everyone that has sent mail the past several months. I greatly appreciate it. :)

Thank you all so, so much for sending me all those letters! I'm starting to have a huge pile of them on my desk and slowly and steadily I'm gonna answer and write back to you.

So many letters :3:

I gave that pitch vibrato. Pitches love vibrato.

Does anyone know how much it actually costs to send a letter from the US to Canada...? I just went into the Post Office to drop something off (cuntvalet be watching!), and the lady said it was part of the flat rate international program for $1.10. However, the last time I went in, the guy I spoke with said it was $0.90. Does anyone know which it is for certain? Coming at it from a different angle, has anyone I've sent mail to in Canada been charged for my lack of postage? :ohdear:

Replies going out over the next couple days, it was my birthday the 19th but I'm ultra broke because I'm getting the timing belt replaced on my car (it's starting to slip and it's either $700 now or $1500 later to replace the whole engine).

I kind of have to be... I'm on some mind fogging meds that make my memory more of a "did that really happen or was I dreaming or something?" kind of life. So, I try to respond as soon as a get something. But since I was sick, now I'm confused as to whom I've responded and who should be getting something.

I was considering just giving up and sending out stuff regardless since I'm too confused. Also, I was trying to alternate my different kinds of card stuff, but now I don't remember who I sent what. All this before 30. Can't wait 'till I'm 60--- I probably will forget to get to that age though. :smith:

A special amazing thanks goes out to Team Lunch for the beyond amazing thank you card and gift you sent to me.


I am not sure if you are an amazing stalker, or I posted authors I like or what, but you pretty much picked one of my favorite books ever as a cover to your notebook. Asimov is a Sci-fi god and by far one of my most favorite authors. I am going to take this notebook to work to right down all the staff notes I need to brief to all my guys every Thursday, I am going to get some great us out of this amazing book.

Rythe, I'm glad you got it (I am really belated on replying to this). I'm not a very good stalker- I just have amazing luck sometimes. That book cover was sent to be my a pen-pal of mine as a postcard, and I really loved the artwork and wanted it to live on as a notebook. Really glad you liked it! :)

Niemat I got your card yesterday and have written you back!

Kafka's goldfish I sent you something also, did you get it? I'm a little nervous as your address is a bit unusual.:ohdear:

Hey guys. Look I've absolutely loved the influx of mail I had been getting. It has meant more than anything I could ever dream for. Unfortunately at this point some seems to have been mismatched and all I have are the letter carriers them themselves. I made a little monument on everything I've received since around August and grouped them as best I could. Before that they're at home but I'll try to get those too!



The letter on the bottom left is the pen-pal letter which really tore me up. I can go through each individual card and thank the person personally but I'm so afraid I'll miss someone and make then feel unwanted and that's the last thing I would ever want to do. Just know you've saved me and helped me feel not alone for once in a long while and are helping me through an incredibly bad and stressful part of life right now. At the very least I'll try to show I had received them later

Love you all.

e: It's all seriously made me tear up to whomever though of me when they sent me something. I have no money right now. Behind on so many bills. I will try to send at least something when I get a chance. I believe it was kafka's goldfish that had the actual wax seal on it but I lost it do to the vomit (ew). I'll try to compile a list of everybody that I can who has sent me something although I know I'll miss a few. Chime in if I did.

Oh and whomever glitterbombed me around decemeber (or maybe late November) I'm still finding stars everywhere including my bathroom tub and I moved to an entirely new apartment since then. Major kudos.

I'm losing track of everything because (as I've stated before) work is becoming an unending nightmare. My boss just came back from out of town today and when he walked in, I flat out said 'Just so you know, I will NOT be in tomorrow; I'm having a day OFF!" and he just said "sure" and went on his way. What he doesn't know is that I also plan on turning off my work cell and ignoring any work calls to my personal cell. HAH! I honestly think he agreed so readily because the expression on my face was "You let me off OR I go postal right here, right now".

I got cards/notes from Lamb, Panorama Change, and Party Hat. I am a bit poor (rent just came through), so I tendered some medium responses, but never fear, I shall be sending more later in the month when money is more friendly! :-) Things have been incredibly stressful and the one saving grace has been receiving goon mail/love periodically! We're strangers, but I love you all SO MUCH you have NO IDEA! Thanks LAMB for being so awesome and starting this thread!

As a side note, apologies to everyone that's sent me letters in the past couple weeks... I've got a two day Neuro exam coming up this week, so I've been a little preoccupied studying for that. :( After that's done, letters galore are going out to you fine people!! I even got new stamps when I mailed in my tax information the other day... :smug:
