Hey! Where am I? :frowning:

I’ve received cards from Scarey Fairy and Vunderbob! Wondering where my final card will come from!

Ah, my mistake. I suggest future postcard-senders not have the names of two Dopers appear on their cards. :wink:

Oops, didn’t mention, yeah, got mailed Friday night. Haven’t heard of any of my recipients recieving theirs (one mentioned they got the other two), but I did send them out a bit late.) I haven’t recieved any of mine though. :frowning:

I received my final 2 postcards for round 1 - thanks to Fish Cheer and Annie-Xmas. A post card from Germany and one from New Jersey - and the pictures on both actually looked a little bit similar! Boats, blue skies and green trees. :slight_smile:

Boy, that was quick. Those airmail stickers aren’t too critical, apparently.

Thank you, Emily. It is nice, if a bit remote. But to be honest, I had never heard of the Jomsvikings before, even though Wollin really is not that far away.

You’re welcome. Not too different from your neck of the woods, is it?

Will be sending my round 1 cards tomorrow (I promise, and sincerely apologize to my three recipients)

Please sign me up for Round 2.

Oops. I didn’t realize Cephalopod was also the name of another poster.

I hope my other cards arrive soon. The postal service is sure taking their sweet time about it.

Please make sure to list your postcards here! I’m tracking who has sent and who has received - I want to make sure that we only keep active participants in the Postcard exchange. It’s not fair if people mail them and don’t get any - and there’s a lot of folks not heard from.

**Labtrash **- just post back once you’ve actually mailed - thanks!

To summarize – I’ve gotten 2 so far; one from **ScareyFaerie **and another from dbygawdcapn. Still waiting for #3.

If I’ve paid proper attention, either 2 or 3 of my recipients have posted here that they got theirs (including you :))

Got an incredibly cool, ignorance fightin’ card from dhkendall today. Thank you!

I just finished double-checking my grid from Round 1.

Here’s some quick facts:

We had 39 participants.
[ul]
[li]26 were from the USA[/li][li]5 from Canada[/li][li]1 each from the following countries: Australia, England, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, & Netherlands[/li][/ul]

To date, 29 postcards have been received by 19 unique participants sent by 19 unique participants.

The following dopers have had all 3 of their postcards received/reported:
[ul]
[li]Faithfool[/li][li]FloatyGimpy[/li][li]The Blue-sighted Shadow[/li][/ul]

8 dopers have received 2 postcards so far. No one has received all 3.

Keep posting the info people - thanks for playing!

I have only received one from Faithfool. I sent mine out on Feb 8 but only anya marie has reported receiving one from me.

Just got another card today from dbygawdcapn. It’s an optical illusion from Washington D.C. Thank you! Since you’re keeping track melodyharmonius, I’ve received 2 so far.

By the same token, I’ve only gotten 2 so far and have only heard of the one being received by FloatyGimpy.

I know this is off-topic, but I’m going to the Philippines on Friday, and if you’d like me to send you (or your child) a postcard, drop me a PM with your address. A lot of Dopers sent me cards when I was teaching in Eastern Europe and it was AWESOME. I’d like to return the favor, if I can.

Pssst… :slight_smile: Didn’t spell your name correctly - sorry. But thanks again!

Unless I’ve missed it, I’ve only seen confirmation that Švejk received mine.

I’ve received the one from FloatyGimpy and one from Blue-Sighted Shadow.

This is lots of fun…
