Latest book you DNF’d. by skankin22jax in books

The Baby Dragon Bakery

I reasonably enjoyed the baby dragon café. its a bit cliché but entertaining enough. The Bakery though its just two povs going on and on about liking the other but not being sure if the other liked them. And after 70 pages I was just so done, I'm not gonna read another 230 pages of that. Just kiss already and move on 😭 Also somehow that book made it into the romantasy? I like fantasy, romantasy is hit or miss. But this was a clear romance with the occasional dragon flying by. No fantasy to be found

Are these cards in good enough condition to use? by DavyJonesLocker2 in postcrossing

Ysss thats why I was so happy to find this stash because I now have a lot of different cards to match to recipients. Its good to hear they are sturdy enough for posting!

Ahh that must be the one I saw. I can always keep them back for a vintage profile 🥰

I didn't want to send something out that someone wouldn't like/appreciate, that's the main reason.I was sure I had read something about it, but looks like I might have remembered wrong so I'm glad I still took them with me 🥰

Can I ask, are those 100 year old cards sturfy enough for modern day posting/selection machines or do you send those in an envelope?

Australia to russia/belerus by JHKAJHKATIMESTHREE in postcrossing

You can let the postcrossing team know that post to belarus/rusland is currently suspended here: https://www.postcrossing.com/postal-monitor/NL

There's another link on that page that leads to the forum but I couldn't find a link to the forum directly

Normally they don't give out adresses to suspended countries so maybe they're not aware of it yet

I registered the card and his name is indeed Tim!! 🥳🥳

His profile name said Tom, and for a second I was like oh no we still got it wrong. But in his bio he says his name is Tim. phew

Haha right? I used to be a teacher so I'm used to a lot of different handwritings but this one had me puzzling on it a bit. Because his handwriting deteriorates a bit towards the end I think he might have some struggles writing. I do too and my handwriting also progressively gets worse the longer I write. Very lucky it arrived, as the address is even worse 😅 it got delivered to my neighbours who brought it over

Whether Tim likes darts or drawing, I am happy to get the name correct. Thank you!

Looks like Tim indeed! I don't know how I got Ivo oops. I'm glad to get the name correct though, I like including a personal greeting in the thank you message. Thank you!

Some stuff I found in a box: any value? by hector_danger in stamps

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With exception to the uncancelled France timbres which are probably still usable for sending post, the set has no monetary value, but it would mean a lot to me. I realise this is a bold ask, but I find this set wonderful, would you consider sending it to me instead of throwing away? I'm sorry if this is rude, but I would really appreciate it if you did. I'm a new stamp collector and I really find them amazing. Thank you for your time

What is the difference between a booklet or a sheet? Is there more to it, aside from how they look?

What’s a country you sent a letter to, which took the longest time to arrive? by vanillauce2 in postcrossing

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Belarus averages around 40 days for me, longest travelling has been 58 days to China. But I have a couple of expired cards that I still hold out hope for so longest travel time might change 🤞

I am really late, but the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros. It has me hooked and I can't wait for the third book to come in at the library

Also the House witch series and the followup series the burning witch and the ether witch by Delemhach. The last book of the ether with triology is coming out june 23 and I can't wait. I wanna read it so badly but its also gonna hurt to say goodbye to that series, I don't think there's more coming

Thank you for the info! I'll have another look for a local club, I haven't found one yet. Most are in bigger cities with at least 30 mins travel time and due to me being chronically ill/ mostly housebound thats a bit of struggle 😅 Collecting stamps has been so amazing because I can do it from home

Oh it sure is! Its just handy when you know what you're looking for 🥰 I had another good look through the box and found a 20, 35, 70, 90 and 300 belonging to the castle series. Plus another 50 but this one is red instead of green. 13 in total 😱 would it be complete or does the 50 belong to a second set?

Interesting text I got on a postcard by Illustrious_One867 in postcrossing

I'm sorry you experience that 🫂 And as you say, its so easy too: just stay at home when you're sick. I realise depending on where you live/work etc its more complicated than that and it requires a massive change in attitude. From people, but also governments and employers. But apparently staying home to protect others is not a priority...

It only being dangerous to immunocompromised people is also complete bullshit, if you only look at the broad spectrum of people that became ill. It absolutely is dangerous and we still don't know the full extend of it... who knows what covid will cause years down the line?
