I am putting on stamps as we speak. Y’all are getting cards from where I work. Yeah, even the Florida folks. (Can’t argue with an employee discount, can I?) And the Canada folks are getting the 70 cent stamps, since I couldn’t remember how many in Canada and other places, when you are at the postoffice at six in the a. of m., it’s a little hard to remember when the list is at home. I can actually send to three more overseas Dopers. Scratch that, ran out of .23s. \*\*Max Carnage\*\* is getting a .70 on his card. (By the way, **MC** sweetie, did you get the package of brochures?) ---

I’m glad you liked my postcards **misstee** and **Rooves**. I’ve got some real nice postcards so far and I thought mine would suck compared to the rest. BTW, thankyou to **fishcheer15** , **Elenia25** , **dbygawdcapn** , **Casey1505** and **LVgeogeek**. I’m loving this! ---

Finally had time to post. Thus far I have recieved 6 cards. Looking forward to more! Sure is nice to reach in the mailbox and get a smile instead of the usual frown that acompanies bills ! Got a card from **LOK** today. Yesterday was **ARCHERGAL** and **ELENIALS**. Saturday was **HUGH JASS, DBYGAWDCAPN,** and \*\* BAMBI HASSENPFEFFER\*\*. Thanks to you folks and for the ones I have yet to recieve! ---

Just one today, from **lainaf**. You would get along with a guy at work who is into coasters too. I asked him about the Georgia Cyclone and he said he was just there a couple of weeks ago, he drove down for the weekend to ride it. :eek: He went to Europe last year and spent the entire 3 weeks riding coasters. He is hoping to hit Scandinavia this year. I, OTOH, have not been to Cedar Point in 20 years and have never been to King’s Island. Lok ---

I’ve received postcards from **Lok** , **Hugh Jass** , **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** , **Ms Robyn** , **dbygawdcapn** , and **Chicago Faucet**. Oh, and one from my mom, but that was entirely coincidental. Thanks everyone, and I see that I picked a bad time to change my user name. ---

Yay my mailbox was full today!! Thanks **Chicago Faucet, Lok, dbygawdcapn, and MsRobyn**! All the cards are awesome, and it’s so much fun to be getting little pictures of places I’ve never been! **Cowgirl Jules** - I am now in love with Yosemite. At this rate I’ll have no choice but to win the lottery so I can travel _everywhere_! **Hugh Jass** - I’d try out the recipe for prickly pear cactus jelly, but the only cactuses (cacti?) around here are in the Botanical Gardens, and I think security frowns on people sneaking in to squeeze them for juice… 😃 ---

I put my fifteen in the mail today, but I have a problem. I’m getting cards from Dopers who were not on my list! Greetings to **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** , and thanks for your kind comments! You are one I didn’t get the address for. **Craneop** , Kansas is actually pretty good right about now too! And that picture looks like it could come from here. I got a card from “a small town in Ohio”. Love that library building, I like old stone structures more than modern ones. Preston, aka **dbygawdcapn** , the koalo is _too_ cuddly looking! YOu are another I didn’t have an address for. Hi to **Elenia25**. from eastern Kansas! **Hugh Jass** , your handwriting looks a lot like mine. I have cousins in Texas, and they agree with your sentiments! **Cyn** , I have a lot of nurses in my family, and one pharmacist. What do you do? **jackelope** , a cousin’s daughter is going to school in Memphis! **Archergal** , are those local beans? ---

I got three more today, but I don’t have them with me; when I get home I’ll post a list of everyone I’ve gotten cards from. I think the total is now eight cards! This is great. And I love that the postmarks on them say, “Greetings from Far Away.” ---

Five arrived so far - **Chicago Faucet** - nice view of Pittsburgh! **Cowgirl Jules** - fresh fruit and veg…mmmmmmm 🙂 One I can’t read the sig of, but it’s Shippensburg Uni, so you should be able to identify yourself 😃 **dbygawdcapn** - brilliant picture of The Mummy, the postie gave me a very weird look 😛 And there’s one other which I’ve mislaid, which was actually the first to arrive ☹ ---
