u/terrorcatmom

Thank you everyone who's sent me mail this week!

u/Tight_Ant_2587 I don't think I thanked you for your getting to know you card!! So sorry about that. It was fun learning more about you :)

u/tigerlady13 Thank you for the Washington postcard! I loved all the scouting stamps. I actually used to be a scout here in Canada.

u/credo99 Thank you for the postcard from Korea! I know Koreans have a habit of wearing fancy outfits to go hiking or to landmarks but didn't really think about them picnicing.

u/boomerang88 Aaaaah! I loved the Hobbiton postcard! The Arwen stamp really completed the set. I love her character. I hope the set tour was a lot of fun!

Hey! I'm Terrorcatmom. I write, cross stitch sometimes, am a semi-active member of r/RandomActsofCards, and have started a container garden in my shared yard. Let me know if you'd like some seeds for your own garden as I have a lot to share!

I work at WISH Drop-In Centre, a low-barrier overnight centre for sex workers in the DTES. If you don't see sex work as real work, we likely can't be that close. I have some mental health conditions including ADHD and self-diagnosed autism. I'm queer and walked in the parade this year so if you were there and said hi, hello and happy pride!

I'm also a total nerd who volunteers at local conventions pretty frequently. I love fantasy and sci-fi, with a preference for fantasy. A few of my favourite book series are the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor, and Everybody Loves Large Chests by Neven Iliev. I mainly listen to audiobooks nowadays and am open to some recommendations.

My family listened to what I wanted for my birthday and (finally!) gave me my gift: one roll of 50 US stamps and one roll of 50 international stamps!

Just wondering for all the other people who do a weekly roundup of card thank yous, how do you do it? Do you add them as they roll in, or do you sit with your mail and write your whole post at once? Inquiring minds would love to know!

Thanks to:

u/princessbionerd Sure, tomatoes are nature! I don't really eat them raw either if I can avoid them haha. I love all the mushroom stickers you added to the card; thank you!

u/forsaken-estate4041 Thank you for the postcard! I wish you could send me some of those pumpkin seeds but it's too late this season to plant pumpkins (and the whole issue of customs, of course!)

u/bananas3706 I love the noodlehead card you sent for my latest birthday! It was a lot of fun to get a birthday card from an internet pal. Thank you so much.

u/pretty-resolve-8331 Thank you for the SFW joke card exchange! I would've used one of my typewriters to write you but it was in the shop! I hope my card gets there safely. I also would love to be pen pals!

u/craftymonmon I accept your invitation wholeheartedly! I'll have to doublecheck my work schedule but it should be free! I'll try to book it off if not!

u/mouserat I would have never figured out that the card was supposed to depict chickadees had you not written something! I love fishing minigames so I cannot relate but I think that's hilarious.

u/mumbamakincards Wow! So much pretty purple! I love the card you made and sent and the envelope is gorgeous too! Thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone whose mail arrived this week!

u/milopfrog Thank you for this HOT postcard of K.D. Lang and Cindy Crawford! I also appreciate the drawing of the uterine system you did for me!

u/mouserat Yes, summer, and with it, wildfire season, has begun in Vancouver. I actually have a friend who's from Phoenix and can tell me all about the weather there. God, those dust storms sound terrible.

u/eastern-witch829 The card is beautiful! I'd love to go visit that park someday and see more waterfalls.

u/emeliminator I love the cat card you chose for me! I haven't dedicated time to listen to the RAOC playlists but am planning on spending an afternoon with them. I'd love to hear more about what it's like on Postcrossing!

u/birdiebennett I hope to meet you next time too! I love James and the Giant Peach's movie adaptation so much, mainly for the french spider.

u/tight_ant_2587 I loved the meetup too! God, that story with the baby bear scares me cause the worst thing to find while camping is a baby bear "by itself" cause Mom is probably close by, just not where you can see her! You were smart to leave before Mom showed herself!! I once refused to get out of a car when a juvenile bear was across the street. My dad still makes fun of me for it.

u/alaindit Luckily for the both of us, I was actually in French Immersion and so I can understand the recipe for the most part. Thank you so much for the soup recipe card; I look forward to trying it sometime!

Thank you to everyone sending me mail! I'm finally getting all the pieces from the meetup :)

u/stillsheryl That's a crazy story! Funny enough, I was actually in Greece relatively recently on vacation. Also, can you tell me where you had the stamps of your cats made? I'd love to make one of mine!

u/dragon_beanie I love what you added to the card! I love mushrooms. I hope someday we can see each other at a local meet, maybe?

u/withininus Oo! I'm glad you had fun at the bar and rave! I've never been to a rave but they sound like they could be a fun time when I was in the right mood.

u/boomerang88 I love all the stamps I got on this card! Also, did you watch The Sheep Detectives? That's what I thought of when I first saw your card!

u/wabisabi_sf I had a wonderful time at the meetup and I hope you did too!

u/noxmi Thank you so much for your cute card!

u/cozyshiba Thank you for the card from NY! I'd love to go walking that early in the morning. Sounds super peaceful.

u/classic-power-333 That name story is so funny wow. What the heck job do you do that you're able to travel so much?!

Hey everyone, if you responded to my random carding offer or I got your address during the virtual meet, I'm just a bit behind on mailing everything out. I had my birthday last week and requested stamps as I'm all out of US and International, but my family hasn't given me the stamps yet.

Thank you to u/Monetmonkey and u/lemonlolipopw for being the first cards from the RAOC virtual meet to pop into my mailbox!

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s cards.

u/monetmonkey thank you for the reptiles of the UK card! I didn’t even realize the UK had snakes, nevermind 3 kinds!

u/lemonlolipopw thank you for the Curacao card! I sincerely hope I never lose my luggage the way you did. Hope your trip was still good without your belongings!

Thank you to u/kittycatcon who sent me mail ages ago! I just went through my stash of cards and realized I never opened your pokemon card! It’s so cute! And I totally agree that Gen 1 is the best, but the later Eveelutions were better.

Hey! As I say in the title, I'm actually most active on reddit on r/randomactsofcards. I love sending cards and figured I'd dip my toes into r/randomactsofamazon! I technically joined four years ago, but never actually set up my account correctly or really interacted. I'm wanting to get into sending more than just cards! I also used to be part of reddit gifting and miss it, so I'm hoping to scratch that itch here. Feel free to ask me questions! I'd love to get to know you all.

I'm a Canadian nerd who loves InuYasha, sending snail mail, drinking tea, gardening (container gardening), and insects. I also collect typewriters; I only have two, but hey, gotta start somewhere.
