I’d be willing to exchange a 10-million-year-old seashell from the local creekbed for a paid subscription. I can also send a knicknack from the [local university](http://www.ecu.edu/) if shells aren’t your thing. ---

I have a parcel all ready to send you, **Tastes Like Chocolate** - but being an idiot, have just discovered I have lost your address. I would email you about it but for some reason can’t seem to get at your email address through your profile. ---
