Thankyou for the card, **screech-owl** but I live in Watton, not Walham. šŸ˜› Anyway I love the picture and Iā€™m so jealous because it sounds like you have such a cool job, even with 28,000 other people. ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > Thanks, **purplycow**!! Iā€™m glad I got to see something else of Malaysia than the Petronas Towers, which is the about the only thing I could recognise šŸ™‚ oh wow, Iā€™m really glad the postcards are getting through! šŸ˜ƒ Youā€™re most welcome! Actually Petronas Twin Tower postcards made up 1/3 of all the postcards I saw, and another 1/3 of the cards depicted beach scenery _yawn_ šŸ˜‰ ā€¦ so I picked everyoneā€™s cards from the remaining 1/3. Hope thereā€™s enough variety there šŸ™‚ And many thanks to **Archergal roxx222 Bambi Hassenpfeffer dbygawdcapn Cowgirl Jules Chicago Faucet torie MsRobyn Hugh Jass GorillaMan Lok** for your beautiful cards! ---

OK - I slacked off but I am sending them out today. So some of you still have one coming. And I love the ones Iā€™ve gotten so far. Thanks for the recipe for Canadian French Toast! (Sorry, Iā€™m at work right now and donā€™t remember who sent it. Jen, maybe?) ---

Hey, **Tastes of Chocolate**. I still want to know what picture I sent to you. Pleeeease? I canā€™t believe I canā€™t remember what I sent out. Actually I can, I can be a dingus when it comes to memory. Itā€™d be funny if it wasnā€™t so sadā€¦ā˜¹ . . . . What was I saying again? ---

Thanks to all for the many delightful postcards received so far. I apologize for my delinquency in mailing mine butā€¦ forty-ish went out today and the rest go tomorrow. **Baker** , all you have to do is go out in your yard and pick some prickly pear pads, pick the spines off, peel them and squeeze them and voila prickly pear juice! What no pricky pear cacti in your yard? Thatā€™s all I have to do. Not that I ever have. Since we had them removed because they were overrunning the yard. And I could have supplied the entire SDMB with prickly pear cactus juice. Nevermind. ---

Sheesh, I left of three cards. **screechowl** , it sounds as if you have fun at work! **pasunejen** , Iā€™ve never been to Boston but I was stationed at Ft. Devens for a month, January of 1976. Coldest Iā€™ve ever been in my life! **Sternvogel** , you guessed correctly. My username is my vocation. Breads are my favorite but I do a good German stollen at Christmas. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > **Basandre** , I have a bone to pick with you! Where the heck am I supposed to get prickly pear cactus juice? šŸ˜› Well, [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com)ā€™s gourmet food section sells the actual prickly pears, and something called prickly pear puree which could probably be adapted for use. [This](http://www.nativetech.org/food/PricklyPearCactusJelly.html) is another recipe that tells how to get the juice from the fruit. Or, if you want, I could send you some in the fall, when itā€™s in season. šŸ™‚ ---

Got 2 in the mail yesterday. **Cowgirl Jules** those are neat planes. I have to remember that place when I hit California next year. **Sternvogel** , I got to tell you, I thought _my_ handwriting was hard to read. šŸ˜› But I worked my way through it.

> [@Avarie537](#): > > [in ā€œsmarmy TV announcer voiceā€]I have a wide variety to choose from, some of which include museums, skyline photos, and the racetrack. Sorry - I just donā€™t have time to take requests. Youā€™ll have to be thrilled with what I send you, and no doubt you will!! So be on the lookout for your very own postcard, complete with a rare and/or interesting fact regarding its subject matter, hand-addressed by ME![/sTVav] For the benefit of those Dopers who didnā€™t receive this fact on a card: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum displays Dave Evansā€™s #8 Cummins, which in 1931 became the first car to complete the Indy 500 without making a pit stop. I havenā€™t received any other cards since my last post to this thread.
