Thankyou for the card, screech-owl but I live in Watton, not Walham. 
Anyway I love the picture and I’m so jealous because it sounds like you have such a cool job, even with 28,000 other people.
oh wow, I’m really glad the postcards are getting through! 
You’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 
… so I picked everyone’s cards from the remaining 1/3. Hope there’s enough variety there 
And many thanks to

for your beautiful cards!
Please exuse my handwriting. I have crappy handwriting.
I like my job, too. Especially when my deodorant works for me. (83 ferschluginnah degrees today!)
Whoa whoa whoa here people -I want in too. Is it too late?
OK - I slacked off but I am sending them out today. So some of you still have one coming. And I love the ones I’ve gotten so far. Thanks for the recipe for Canadian French Toast!
(Sorry, I’m at work right now and don’t remember who sent it. Jen, maybe?)
New batch in:

and Tastes Of Chocolate.
I’m amazed. Thank you very much, all of you.
I’m a bit behind. But my two week vacation has been wonderful. Postcards will be purchased and sent this weekend. Thanks to all those who have sent so far.
Hey, Tastes of Chocolate. I still want to know what picture I sent to you. Pleeeease? I can’t believe I can’t remember what I sent out. Actually I can, I can be a dingus when it comes to memory. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad…

What was I saying again?
Basandre, I have a bone to pick with you! Where the heck am I supposed to get prickly pear cactus juice?
picunurse, I was once stationed at Ft. Lewis. I loved it up in Washington!
Thanks to all for the many delightful postcards received so far. I apologize for my delinquency in mailing mine but… 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? That’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.
Mine are finally ready to go! My apologies for the delay! They are being mailed out tonight, so ya’ll should start getting them next week.
Sheesh, I left of three cards.
screechowl, it sounds as if you have fun at work!
pasunejen, I’ve never been to Boston but I was stationed at Ft. Devens for a month, January of 1976. Coldest I’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.
Woohoohoohoo!!! I just collected all of my mail from my neighbour after my holiday. And there were 20 postcards. What fun!!
And I have got underway on the outgoing as well.
Thank you all.
Thanks so much to everyone who has sent a postcard,my dad’s in the hospital and I’m so busy trying to get it together to get on a plane I can’t respond right now to each person individually but my 7 year-old son and I really love them!
EEEEEeeeeeeehhheee heeeee!!! Manateeeees!!! Thanks, Ravenous Lady!!!
Well, Amazon.com’s gourmet food section sells the actual prickly pears, and something called prickly pear puree which could probably be adapted for use. This 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 it’s in season.
I just got a card from Cranky, which was sweet. I meant every word in my card, Cranky.
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. But I worked my way through it. I was supposed to go to Lake Tahoe a couple of years ago, but had to cancel for a funeral.

I was cleaning house yesterday, and found a new one in one of many piles of mail my wife leaves wherever she damned well pleases… :rolleyes:
LVgeogeek and a picture of Hoover Dam. Why not the more famous Ghivaa Dam? Hmmm?
For the benefit of those Dopers who didn’t receive this fact on a card: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum displays Dave Evans’s #8 Cummins, which in 1931 became the first car to complete the Indy 500 without making a pit stop.
I haven’t received any other cards since my last post to this thread.
