Seeing as I’m currently in a country with exactly one post office, I’m pretty sure that’s me 🙂

If you don’t feel the glare of his laser beam eyes, you certainly should 🙂

In truth - no one likes to be the one with the empty mailbox - it kinda really stinks worse than poop on a hot day.

In the same vein, when you get a postcard, make sure to take a moment to acknowledge it. Everyone likes to hear that their mail was received and enjoyed.

Thanks!!

Wait, what? There’s a _grid_ involved? Nobody told me that…

Oh, and I forgot to mention: I _will_ send internationally. That’s half the fun. 🙂

Lol - don’t worry - I make the grid for me to make sure nobody gets repeats. You just get 3 mailing addresses via PM. 😃
