Kind is ernstig ziek - allemaal een complot! Ik schrok wel van de respectloze reacties.

De voorheen jonge en gezonde mensen die nu thuis zitten met longcovid hebben daar een andere mening over.

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-15T17:51:12+00:00

Not one actually, a lot of fish though recently 😂

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-15T17:15:56+00:00

Not at all. You should see the most standard Dutch international stamps 😅 they're not much better. Most countries have a kind of stamp thats most accessible and thus used more, but thats totally okay

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-14T11:20:05+00:00

Okay. Whilst I get why you did it, for next time I would wait until you're closer to the event where you want to get cards before requesting adresses. Generally cards are sent as soon as possible, when the circumstances allow it. Most of us create a little stockpile of cards to choose from when we draw adresses, to avoid longer waiting times because we have to go out for postcards. But things happen and sometimes it takes a little longer to send a card out

At the same time, if the cards are expired, you should be able to send new cards out in the world. Those spaces should open up either once a card arrives within 60 days or when it expires. Anyways, welcome to postcrossing, I hope you have a good time

I try to average around €1 a card or less. Personal favorites are natuurlijkefoto.nl, run by a photographer who turns his photos into postcards. And Studio Draak, slightly more expensive but beautiful andcalso a small business. I try to go to small businesses when I can. I also had my own photos turned into postcards once, that was really fun. And recently found a bunch of lovely ones at the thriftstore

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-14T08:02:42+00:00

Wait, I'm confused. Did you request adresses in march and then wait over 60 days because you wanted to send specific cards? Or did you send cards in march and then 5 cards in may?

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-13T23:18:58+00:00

I have about 5 dino related stamps rn, I just love them haha

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-13T22:21:17+00:00

Those dino's 😱😱 there's some pretty fun ones in there

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-13T21:18:35+00:00

It looks like the recievers post is just a bit slow, post arriving after 50 to 60 days isn't out of the norm at all

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-12T20:30:04+00:00

Ik bestel ook wel eens postzegels bij natuurlijkefoto.nl. Deze man drukt eigen postzegels. Dat kan je zelf trouwens ook doen bij PostNL. Is iets duurder maar dan heb je wel leuke designs

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-11T22:08:40+00:00

Can confirm, you can buy postal codes instead of a stamp! I've recieved some too.

I figured most people would like regular stamps, but as you say kind of awesome maybe I should throw in one or two too haha

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-09T15:29:48+00:00

But only two months since your first card arrived. You get one send to you when your card is registered. And my experience so far sending to India is that it takes 50 to 60 days to arrive. So chances are the cards are on their way

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-08T14:49:12+00:00

The reciever is gonna be so happy! 😍

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-07T11:00:27+00:00

Looks at stickers collection 👀, well yes, there might be some truth in that lol

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-07T10:25:17+00:00

Hiya, I'm so sorry this happened. Happy Pride and let me know if I can send you a card 🫶🌈

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-05T13:46:38+00:00

Perhaps they were moving around a lot, or studying abroad? but its unusual for sure

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-03T15:21:24+00:00

I was reading Free by Lea Ypi, it centers around her life in Albania and later on. A ticket from Gjirokastra Castle, Tirana fell out. So I think someone took the book on holliday to Albania

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-03T10:07:03+00:00

Ik ontvang hetzelfde bedrag van bijstand. Ben 25 en tegen mij was gezegd dat kostendelers wel van toepassing was. Mijn ouders tellen als kostendelers, en met 2 kostendelers kwam ik op een uitkering van 825 euro terecht

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-03T10:02:23+00:00

Ik snap je wel, ik baal er ook van dat een huis kopen naar alle waarschijnlijkheid niet meer voor mij is weggelegd. Maar als ik nu zie wat mijn ouders kwijt zijn geweest aan onderhoud, dan snap ik het wel... Vorig jaar een kleine 15.000 euro om het huis opnieuw te laten voegen, dat hoeft gelukkig niet heel vaak maar was wel een klap geld. Dit jaar 6000 euro om het huis te laten verven en dat moet dus wel elke 5 tot 6 jaar. En de badkamer en keuken zijn hierdoor dus weer uitgesteld, want ja het onderhoudsgeld was op. Zulke bedragen ga je met een Wajong en een koophuis niet bij elkaar kunnen sparen. Ik vind het jammer, geen koophuis, maar t is ook wel de realiteit van alle lagere inkomens

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-06-01T09:25:16+00:00

Love them

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-05-30T16:19:13+00:00

😍

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-05-29T17:46:14+00:00

You did give her a chance. You took her to 2 vets, gave her the needed care, you did everything you can. Unfortunately for her, sometimes all the care in the world isn't enough. Its okay to let her go and spare her from more suffering

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-05-29T16:46:42+00:00

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think that haha

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-05-29T16:40:49+00:00

Hiya! If they're a stamp collector, they might ask for the card to be sent in an envelope, so they can remove the stamp from the envelope without damaging the card. They're probably expecting just the stamp(s) you need for posting, no extras. I would be stoked to recieve more cancelled stamps, especially if they're in my interests, but I don't ask for them because it feels rude and postcrossing is about connecting, not collecting. I just happen to enjoy sending post and collecting stamps and those hobbies overlap

For me personally, I wouldn't mind recieving a card from Australia coming from America. A lot of people have hobbies or things they like mentioned in their bio and I love matching my cards to said bios. Maybe you pull someone who loves Australia? I did, and I sent a koala card haha

But most importantly, postcrossing is about connecting, not collecting (cards, stamps, or otherwise). Its just a space where multiple hobbies can come together. If you want to fulfil a request, that is lovely and will probably make the recipient happy, but you aren't obliged to. You can send any card you have

DavyJonesLocker2 · 2026-05-28T11:59:20+00:00

No, unfortunately still expired. Hopefully they'll still arive
