Oh yeah, rebel's like me like sending hand-written p-cards to undermine the internet's hegemony over everything, but when was the last time I actually did? When I remembered there was a celebration. :D
Usually I get some and usually I send some, but almost exclusively shortly before Christmas... That's the one difficult to miss. Especially when hypermarkets start their propaganda in September.

:woohoonaner:
Sweet Idea, Ante :) !! You'll be getting my address in a PM & i'll send you one, too! In fact, I'll send anybody one!
I always Luv undermining hegamonys (whatever that means :confused:)! Anyway, handwritten stuff is a Lot better than internet hegamonys! All I ever get is internet cards (that everybody else already got) & Emails (even from relatives) that are nothing but spam mail! It's not just bad, it's de-humanizing! Personal stuff is 1000% better :) !!

11-09-2009, 04:22 PM
We can add the rule that person recived the postcard must reply to sender? Or just to leave that to personal choice?
:woohoonaner:
Definitely HAVE to reply to sender :) !! If someone doesn't want to reply, why should someone bother talking to him anyway?
saltydad

Of course they should send a reply! One way discourse is a tad boring.

Great idea Ante - and go for it people in the real world! Our airmail takes a month or two, postcards are rejected, and we have to pay US$3 to receive each item - otherwise I would be with you too!

Yesterday (11-30) I came home after 5 days & got a really nice post card from my buddy in Croatia!!! What a nice surprise! And now I remembered seeing this post "when was the last time you received a post card" & BINGO! I just read it thru.
What a great idea Ante...and THANK YOU!! I was feeling poopy after a bad day Sunday but my postcard really cheered me up. It's the same one Howard got - a beauty (thanks Howard--I don't have to post pic of it LOL), & I'm going to save it.:):)
I made & sold sculptured sprinklers at art shows for 7 years & kept all my customers names & addys, and sent all a home made Christmas postcard at Christmas time.
Ante, could you PM me your addy - I can't find it.
Anyone else want one ?--first 3 get one :)
Patty in Wisc
12-06-2009, 08:47 PM
I am having a hell-of-a-time finding postcards!! I tried Walgreens, Open Pantry, gas station, supermarket. I may have to drive to the airport!!!!

Send me your address Greg. After you receive my card, you post a picture of it, and solicit 3 members to send you PMs with their addresses. That's it! So I'll need your address.

:drum:
Funny thing...we went to French Polynesia and sent 20 post cards for a total cost of about $100...
I think 2 maybe 3 friends/family members acknowledged receiving the post cards...people are so immune to snail mail...they do not even look though their mail anymore and when they do it is like "oh so what"...typically just junk mail...
Post cards are awesome..I send them on every major trip.....frustrating that many people hardly open/read/acknowledge received cards/letters anymore...
Patty in Wisc
12-09-2009, 01:10 AM
I still am having a hard time finding some. When weather clears up I will go to airport - they always sell postcards (or used to).
A lot get lost in mail according to some mailmen here, or they take 2-3 weeks to get there. Postcards were so popular for a long time...but now email.
Mitchel, Ante, Cheryl & Greg, have patience till I find them :)

I found mine at Wal_Mart there in the return dept of all places hidden from view.
Thanx for the info, Greg :) ! They can also be found at novelty shops, especially near schools, bus depots, & airports!
It may take me a little longer to get my mail (since it's not direct) but I always get it. And Read it :) !! Ante's totally right! Getting something from a friend, that's sent by hand, is a Lot better than clicking on an electronic email. My emails are mostly from friends and family and most of them are FW's that weren't even typed by them, anyway.

Email is just like regular mail always full of junk, because alot of people wont take the time to write a letter. I think a letter is alot more personal while email does give us that instant gratification. I think it still lacks the scribbles on paper.
I think I need to send post cards out when ever I take any roadtrip.

Hi! What a great idea! I'd like to get in on the next round if possible! My daughter collects postcards. She picks them up anytime we go somewhere, and our family gets them for her when they visit places. She also sends them to our family members, she loves the idea. I'm trying to teach both my kids the beauty of the written word, over an electronic message. They both love to receive mail, and luckily I have family members that are willing to write letters to them as well! Send me your address and I will send you one as well! Thanks!:2722:

I got Cheryl's card last week...thanks! A field of bluebonnets - TX state flower. I'd rather have them than our violets for state flower. They (violets) are WEEDS to me LOL.
I have it taped to kitchen cabinet with the others :):)

Patty, has yours arrived yet?
The white bar was put there either by the US or the Ecuador postal service so that the automatic mail sorter reader bars would be visible by the sensors.

Well, Greg, yours will be on its way as soon as I select an appropriate photo or pair thereof.... But no 12 Cuys of Christmas for you! I'll be going back to my old standby Jama-Coaque Panther envelopes.
Cheryl: cool! They gave you the FAO Year of Biodiversity cancellation mark. I didn't think those were going into use until February...

WooHoo, I got 2 cards today from Lorax! Nice pics - great photography. Is the one of that volcano by you? I'll try to get them in puter to post but might takes hours. I'm back on my puter at home which is very slow.
And, thanks for the passionfruit & papaya seeds!!! It's almost like Christmas again:)

Patty, I'm embarrassed to say it, but I can't remember which two volcanoes I sent you... I think it was El Altar and Cayambe. Altar is quite close to me, but I can't see it from Ambato because Tungurahua (the erupting one) is in the way. However, I was able to see it nearly every morning when I lived in Puyo - which was neat in its own way, since I was living in the Amazon jungle yet I could see a glacier.
Cayambe is the only glaciated active volcano on 0 latitude (the equator). It's visible from Quito and points North.

They are of Volcan. I LOVE passionfruit & flowers & have never tried papaya. Will plant them soon for a headstart for garden in spring. Thanks again:)
