Lots of interesting things in Southern West Virginia that I could get postcards and keychains for including: I love the Mothman! He's my favorite Cryptozoology monster. Maybe we can trade. I can send you a cross stitched Slime sometime. I've gotten some nice cards from Lamb, Team Lunch, 1337haxxorpirate, Keetron and Hypothetical Mcgee. I'll try to send out some replies soon.

I've participated in the past couple of Goon Xmas card exchanges, so I'm in! [redacted] Send over anything, although envelopes full of pubes and such are highly discouraged. If you enjoy writing letters to animals for whatever reason, feel free to include a shout out to my cat Meilyn - she is a very sick kitty with respiratory problems.

Ah we have finally landed in our new homeland so hopefully will be getting some cards sent out soon. We had a few cards ome through over the some, so thankyou again Lamb, you are amazing! Other ones came too, but I remember Lamb specifically and everything else is in a box on a boat coming to join us now so I don't remember any names. Also, belated Happy Halloween goons! :-) Address Update: S Greenman 47 Bass Court Dartmouth, NS Canada B2V 2R8 Slightly Used Cake fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Nov 3, 2011 |

Hypothetical Mcgee, I got your card! (pictured with Lamb's zombie- I'm going to keep that around for every holiday.)  Herpy Derpoween! haha, love it! Thanks, Hypothetical! The stamp was scratched out with a pen for some reason. Seemed a bit strange, maybe that had something to do with the delay? I have no idea.

Sometimes a mailitem like a letter or postcard, is not stamped off (language?) correctly and when you as a mailman notice this, you use a pen while on your route or sorting the mail.

I just found a postcard in my mailbox, with a painting of a pumpkin on it, and a trick-or-treat request from a little girl in the Netherlands. I might have to wait until I get paid next week, but I can't not send her candy now.  I don't know how familiar you are with American candy, but as far as I'm concerned, I got the good stuff this year.

Ehm, if you are low on funds, please appoint said funding towards food and clothing for you and not towards candy for some 10yo spoiled brat... :-) That said, I asked her what she thought would be nice candy and she got mad with me for sending out her card and then mentioned that any candy would do.

Due to travel/new job/lost job/next new job/near-break-up/make-up/Spring Cleaning (in Australia) I have been a total slacker in expressing my unending gratitude, but at least I've been getting little surprises in the mail to brighten the hard days! lamb, Hypothetical McGee and Team Lunch, thank you so much!! Every surprise totally made my day. My inspirational lighthouse is totally inspiring. Fortune Fish says I'm jealous. And Herpy Derpoween makes me giggle every time I see it. Best Hallowe'en since I moved to Australia! November is officially Hurry Up And Mail Stuff month!

Hypothetical Mcgee posted:Has anyone gotten one of my cards? I am starting to get worried that the mailbox ate them. I haven't checked my mail much lately. I generally have been checking it once a week. Today I found an adorable postcard from you. It made my day.  I also got a badass Halloween card from lamb, an amazingly adorable card from Cara in Australia, a Budapest scene from Keetron and kids, a pirate-y envelope of goody from Team Lunch, and something from Abby which I remember mentioning a while back, as I was concerned about her address change. I am glad she is back in this thread now. I hope things get better and more stable for you! I feel like an utter snot for being remiss in my thank you's, not to mention for full-stopping on my outgoing mail. Yeah, it's been a hell of a year, not much more to say about that. Every time I start to get over something, something else comes out of left field and flattens me again. Hoop de dooo. I'm hoping to start up again soon. I don't want to say that and then get hit by a truck tomorrow or something and have to delay again (the way my luck has gone), so I'm not going to be decisive about it yet, but going to admit that this thread is always in the back of my mind. And the things you have all sent have been awesome for me, SA is kind of like the little thing that is mine right now, that gives me some escape and it's meant a lot to me. The good news is when I am ready to start up again, I've got tons of oddities at the ready, and stamps besides. You're all awesome and I hope you all have overflowing mailboxes!

I have a lot of "Thank You"s due. Please excuse the crappy picture quality. Palette Swap sent me some great stuff a while ago, The envelope was open when I received it, hopefully nothing fell out before it got to me  l337haxxorpirate sent me a nice postcard, and 13pandora13 sent me some beautiful photos of flowers from her parents' house  Miz Kriss sent this adorable lamb card, and this postcard came from DeYoung  Then, I got this package, also from DeYoung! The USPS cares, in case anyone was wondering. They just don't care enough to not destroy my mail.  My older son truly enjoyed the comic and the coloring book. I'm glad he can't really read yet, because I would have a hard time explaining what "you're hosed" means. He was really mad because I wouldn't let him have the DeLorean, but too bad for him because there was a place for it on my desk at work next to my Matchbox 1967 Impala.  Dr. Pancakes made this wonderful pop-up card for me  genesplicer sent me this card with a secret message and glow-in-the-dark glitter  and finally, the always awesome Team Lunch sent me the creepiest card ever  I've begun accumulating Xmas crap, so get ready! The first post and the address list are up-to-date as of today.

I've finally decided to do this. I have a "small" scrap-booking addiction so I have way more paper and stickers and other things I'll never use so this is perfect. If you send me something please no NWS on the outside as the mail will be going to 1 of two houses(My parents or my grandparents. The addresses are almost identical except for 1 letter and our mailman puts my mail wherever he feels like it that day.) Stephanie C/Mysa 4923 State Route 276 Batavia, Ohio 45103 I like animals(chances are if I send you something I'll probably include a picture of one of my pets doing something silly )Also Disney stuff and Star Wars. Oh and Pokemon  (I'm 23, Don't judge)

MAIL IS THE BEST!! Niemat Edit: Change of address listed on page 68 I'm going to have to insist no body parts/fluids or pubes, though... I work in a Pathology lab, so I get to see those things (minus other people's pubes, I guess) alllllllll the time.  edit: And, unfortunately, I'll also have to insist nothing graphic on the outside of the envelope... My mail man is a sweet, 70-something old man who I'd rather not shock into a coma.I'm a chick who loves Biology (specifically marine biology) and owns two pain in the rear end cats. I also collect owls. I'm excited to send you all cards made with the fine motor skills of a seven year old! Niemat fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Mar 2, 2013 |

Oo! Oo! Me! Me! EDITED since we're over the major holidays. 03/02/12 I would like cards of any kind, especially Christmas in the future. My 20th birthday is December 17th, too! I won't be able to actually see any of the mail at this address until Thanksgiving, though. No NWS on the envelope/outside please. I am a poor art student and I like foxes (because it is like a puppy and a kitty at once), movies, Klimt, and pumpkin pie. Can't wait to get started on some cards myself!

I'm having a blast with this year's cd swap, so this is obviously the most logical next step. USS Kobayashi Issa 420 County Rd. Z Nekoosa, WI 54457 I'm another ladygoon, and my interests consist of foreign languages (I currently take both Spanish and German), linguistics, makeup, ducks, and Star Trek (send me Nimoy pictures  ). That being said, send whatever you want! NWS is fine, so no worries there. I'd love to see homemade stuff, and I'll do my best to reciprocate; however, outside of writing, I'm not very artsy. If I'm not sending kitschy Wisconsin-themed crap, expect stretchy bracelets with silly messages on them.  Also, I have a birthday coming up this Monday.
