The 2026 edition of the SDMB Postcard exchange - new management, old rules

Received a postcard with two very cute otters from @Karen_Lingel. I was looking forward to it!

I now have received mail from all six participants in my two groups. Thanks to all of you!

I received a Sydney postcard from our Postmaster @penultima_thule. Thank you!

I didn’t get a card from @JoseB, and it doesn’t look like @JoseB has received any. Could someone check on that?

I also got a beautiful postcard from Pt!
Love it

The largess continues with a further two much travelled postcards in the mail from:
@Die_Capacitrix featuring some positively bucolic images of greater Luzern and
@Allecher alerting me to the fact that Americans drink 38 Olympic swimming pools of coffee per day which, from personal experience is explanatory. :upside_down_face:

Also have some news from a couple of Dopers who have been struggling with the intervention of RL betwixt their participation. I counsel patience. :heart_eyes:

No worries.

I have received my last card ! From @melodyharmonius - thanks Mel !
(That boxcar spiked cocoa sounds good !!!)

That makes it up to the round hundred sender/recipients for the 2026 PCE.

Target is 132, I believe at least 120 are active.

Current PCE status as I have it recorded. Of course, this is a mail exchange not a race of carrier pigeons.
There are a couple of Dopers who are known to be inconvenienced.
The one I am curious about is @RealityChuck who either hasn’t received a card, or I have missed the announcement(s).

I did receive your card, @penultima_thule.

I sent out 7, but I dont rember to who(m).

I have received from: Die_Capacitrix l, Reality Chuck, Roll Out the Barrel, and 2 from needscoffee.

With the exception of @pjd, none of my five other recipients have reported an incoming card. But that’s possible, they all went from Germany to either the USA or Australia, and I sent them 16 days ago, that’s a realistic amount of time for theses distances.

Strange… according to PT’s table above, PT and Sunup have
received cards from you - although they haven’t said so in this thread …

It’s a long thread, maybe I missed a few posts.

I searched … nothing ! Maybe some people are communicating by PM !

I am waiting patiently, Mr. Hund! (But if the postcard was mistakenly delivered to my jerk neighbors, they would just throw it away… :worried:)

Nah, it’s such a beautiful card that they would pin it to the fridge. :wink:

pin it ?!

Magnets, I believe.

I’d use a magnet. I asked that google ai thingy if you can pin something
with a magnet, and it said - and I quote - “Yes, you can absolutely use
magnets to pin or affix items in place”.
Stupid machine.
You pin something with a pin, the clue’s in the name !
