I think I am going with a sign up cut off date of April 3. I will post that night how many dopers have signed up and then get lists ready to be emailed out by April 5th. **Shirley Ujest** I did not get an email from you. ---

As long you guys don’t mind letting a shy lurker in on this - I’m in. I never get any mail except the occasional bank statement. Would people prefer postcards from Gothenburg, Sweden or Glasgow, Scotland? (I’m in Sweden now, but heading back to university in Glasgow soon…) (Ummm…what are we expected to write on these postcards?) E-mail will be sent as soon as I post this… I feel like I’m plunging into the deep end after I eventually decided to pay my $5… ---

My stars, I must have hit 100 posts while I was a guest! It took a long time, so this thread is now a stealth party for me! Everyone who joins up for the postcard exchange gets punch! It’s good punch too. ---

**finette6** I do not mind if you make them. That is the very best part of doing an exchange is the diversity. **Mississippienne** I did get your email, the only one I hadn’t got email from so far that expressed interest was **Shirley Ujest**. ---

I love postcards in general, but I just started collecting postcards that have a picture of a mosquito and the caption “\ state bird”. I believe that such a postcard is available somewhere in each and every of the 50 states. So, I’d be particularly thrilled to receive a skeeter card from any state. ---

lainaf, I live in Florida and I bet my last dollar that I can find one of them postcards 'specially for you ! Misstee dear, can you tell us how many names you have so far? I’d like to do some aggressive shopping, but don’t want to go overboard too much. Thanks in advance.
