Hey all! It’s an exciting night tonight. Why you may ask? Because it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow which means all the nasty road salt from the snow storm last week will be washed away & everything won’t be coated in a white layer anymore.

Another day another offer! I’m offering 10 random postcards.
I’ll do a max of 5 WW & 5 (or more) to the USA. If more than 5 people from the USA request a card that’s fine too. Whatever way adds up to 10 cards total.
If you’d like one please comment below with your country & then immediately message me your mailing info.
Flair doesn’t matter just be willing to write a thank you post.
u/ferseriousdude thank you for the duck postcard and matching stamp! speaking of, I hope you get to spot some of the arctic waterfowl wintering here.

Hi everyone, my 21st birthday is coming up end of February, and I would really appreciate some birthday cards! They would be great to look forward to
For ideas, some of my likes include cute/kawaii things, nature, animals, cats, and purple. Glitter is okay
My address is the same if you have it, but please chat or message/comment if needed! I would prefer cards from flaired users, thanks. You can use this message link for ease (trying to avoid ban risk)
I would appreciate if you wrote “birthday” on the envelope back flap so I can wait to open them. Thanks for considering!
Thank you x2 u/melhen16 for the puffin postcard and Grey Tyrant bird card. I didn't realize i signed up twice for your bird cards. Thanks for all the animal facts you put on the back lol. My favorite is learning about extinct colossus penguin as tall as LeBron James 🐧

u/angel-icbaby — Thank you for the CA postcard! My boyfriend works in a biotech company where they need gowns and masks and rooms designated for clean space. They have gotten a lady bug and a couple other insects inside, and they always need to open up investigations to see how they trekked in (probably on somebody). BUT THEY ALSO HAD A BAT ONE NIGHT. He took a video of a coworker with a net trying to catch it, omg it was so great
u/forward_ad9939 — Thank you for the cute pumpkin card and telling me about your username! I could never use a randomly generated one — I’ve thought of changing mine to something similar to my instagram handle, but I still have stickers with my current username

Hello, everyone!
My birthday is very, quickly approaching, and I just got some bad news about plans for that day falling through and it sucks. Could I hit y'all up for some last-minute, emergency birthday cheer? I know there are lots of other people worse off than me right now because of * gestures vaguely at everything * but I'm just bummed out and could use some fun mail and happy thoughts in my mailbox.
I am up for anything but if you would like some inspiration, I like: both postcards and cards, green, blue, purple, black, silver, gray, yellow, coffee culture, dogs, tea culture, otters, forests, foxes, cats, pandas, hiking, camping, craftiness, creativity, upcycling, winter, new year celebrations, astronomy, history, art, music, travel, science. I'm easy. I will post thank yous.
Thank you, RAoC! I appreciate you!
u/stillsheryl thank you for the cute Valentine’s Day postcard! I hope your Valentine’s Day is wonderful!
u/draconic_healing thank you for the new year card! Good luck with your schooling! You’ll do great.
I have a congrats on your divorce card I’m DYING to use for a fellow lady. (I’m also a woman) I only have 1 of these. Don’t need the whole story a short paragraph would suffice if you need to let it out. Please keep it SFW!
I received a few drama/complaint cards through my last request and I found that I really enjoyed receiving them.
If you’ve got a complaint, drama to tell, is something coming up that you are dreading or you’ve got a juicy secret you’re dying to get off your chest send them to me!
Thank yous will be posted as soon as I can after receiving.
u/Interesting_Pear1977 for the starfish postcard! I love starfish! I once found a HUGE one on the beach in da 'Bu and I took it home and tried to keep it in my bathtub! It was huge. Yeah if you don't know where the 'Bu is then you probably didn't hang out at the beach picking up surfers like I did in my 20s. 😂 or when my English Bulldog would chase and bite the kites of the kite surfers and then I would flirt with them. (that's what we called Malibu way back in the dawn of existence when I was young). Thanks for this lovely postcard!
u/Legallyblonde_27 for the RAoC Meta : Self-Care card! You did a really nice job with this card and envelope! Thank you!
u/StillSheryl x3 thank goodness you wrote messages on all these! Phew! 😅 for the M&O Muir Woods postcard (never been, thanks for putting it on my radar); the Valentine's Day 💌 pun card (I'd have to look at your offer post but the hot dog and mustard is so me! There is a "famous" (subjectively famous if you watch Food Network) hot dog place in my birth town. One time when I was feeling really hot I scheduled two dates there on the same evening. I was hoping the first guy would leave before the second one showed up. Because I didn't want to cancel last minute on the first guy once the 2nd guy asked me what I was doing that night and since he actually had a good job and was handsome he had to go home, change, shower, and then meet up with me on his bike. Actually the first was this old guy but he was a photographer and he took some really awesome photos of me in the parking lot with all these motorcycles. Then the 2nd guy showed up! He was a hottie and we ended up dating for a while but the first guy got so mad! Especially when I posted some of the photos on social media. He was so butt hurt. The 2nd guy laughed and thought it was funny I did that. Moral of the story: I love hotdogs and mustard (never ketchup, that's for kids. Grow up. I spent a summer in Chicago so I completely agree since that city has the most Poles besides Warsaw in the world and all of you forget I mention I spent the summer at the Art Institute post Vanderbilt, but whatever) hot dogs Chicago style all the way! & this cute little alien hugging card! Also a Valentine message on the backside! I think you made it! Thank you very much.💗
