Yay - two more cards arrived yesterday! 🙂 One from **Kittenblue** from Lake Erie and one from **Lee Q.** with a picture of [this](http://hirshhorn.si.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Alexander-Calder-Fish-Mobile1.jpg) sculpture. Thank you both very much - the cards are beautiful! 🙂 ---

Getting concerned about my other two postcard recipients. If I don’t hear soon, I’ll send replacements out. Here’s hoping they made it! ---

One of my recipients seems to have been swallowed by a black hole… ---

Karen Lingel, back in post #88 I did mention getting a card from you. If you sent me any others they aren’t here…yet. ---

No, no, I saw that. I sent one overseas to a person who has not posted anything to this thread since signing up. (I’m not sure if I should name names.) I suspect this person may not have sent postcards, and I’d like to volunteer to send Pity Postcards to the gypped people, but I don’t know who they are! ---

I don’t want to sound like a whiner, but I think I might be one, **KarenLingel**. ☹ I’ve gotten cards from two awesome people and **Algher** whom I don’t think was official. I also haven’t seen confirmation from an overseas person that they received cards from me, but he’s posted in this thread so I’m pretty sure they didn’t make it there. I’ll re-send in a day or two. ---

Whether it’s postcards, shotglasses, Secret Santa, or any other exchange, it always seems like there’s at least one exchanger that gets, but does not participate by sending or acknowledging.☹ ---

> [@Karen\_Lingel](#): > > I suspect this person may not have sent postcards, and I’d like to volunteer to send Pity Postcards to the gypped people, but I don’t know who they are! I sent cards to three people and I haven’t had notice they were recieved. Two of them are in the US, and are folks who have been participating(to say the least!:D) in this thread. One is overseas, and when I checked I found they’ve made one post in this thread, when they signed up. So I’m not sure what is wrong. I am sure the postage was correct, I hope I addressed them correctly. I can resend to my US addresses if needed, and I’ll also send extra cards if someone didn’t mail theirs. ---

Maybe **Algher** could reach out to posters who haven’t posted that they received postcards? ---

I forgot to mention that the french reproductive system from Ivory Tower was the first of three cards with an ongoing limerick. Helena, I sent yours out the same time as Teuton’s and Silenius’. I hope the address I have is correct. And some of you (see first paragraph) would get return cards iffn’ you’da put your return address on your cards (hint, hint). Just because you got my address, doesn’t mean I have yours. Got a stack of cards an inch thick ready to go out this weekend… just sayin’… ---

Wow - sorry all, on the road for two weeks and every time I went in to play catch-up… From my own files: **DavidA** sent me a great shot of the Norwich University Football squad in 1911. **Baker** send me a stack of cards from Kansas of the rotunda, all wrapped in a card from that National Gallery of Scotland! I will now start reading the thread and my PMs… ---

Who is missing cards? I think all mine sent out have arrived and been mentioned in the thread, but I’ve only received cards from two people ( **Silenus** , **BeeGee** - oh, and **Algher** , who sent to everyone.). I also have a ton more cards with British stuff on if there are still others missing.
