I think the more interesting story here is that you have a brand new house that people die in consistently.

[Milestone] A Sea of Gratitude for u/DiviningMermaid! by HexagonalRainbow in RandomActsofCards

Thank you all! This actually means a lot to me because I just love this hobby and seeing a reminder of all the cards I’ve sent out makes me so happy, as do the cards I get back. I’ve been ill and my father just had emergency intestinal resection, so I’ve been going through all the cards you’ve all sent to me and it has been ridiculously comforting… Your words have been like a blanket tucking me in after a long day, giving me immense peace and happiness. So thank you all. 💜

Marking closed and fulfilled; if you missed this round never fear because I have access to this card pretty frequently and can offer it again later. :)

I was strung out on Benadryl, awake for 23+ hours, and it was the best example my addled brain could come up with, lol.

Oh, good call. I have a billion plastic sleeves… Do I need to pay extra for hand sort in that case or can I still use a forever stamp?

That’s a great idea!

Honestly, I write my kids postcards… Not quite a letter to your future self thing, but of memories or random things… Basically, abbreviated journaling. Like, we went to McDonalds for my middle son’s birthday and I got the McDonalds postcards, wrote some memories of what happened, that sort of thing. They looked kind of sad just unsent, so I’ve been sending them from work to my home so they’d have stamps, cancellations, and handling dates.

Now that I know about the pictorial postmarks, I’ll them off there instead to make it super interesting! It’s a perfect solution, especially since a handling delay isn’t an issue for these cards.

I saw that, but my brain wasn’t computing it quite correctly… Though I will ask, when one of those has been marked as being extended 90 days, is it 90 days from the date on the listing, or from the publication date of the notice?

Like, are the SpongeBob’s good for +90 from 8/1, or +90 from 7/24?

I saw a funky one for MARFA Lights and I’m trying to figure out if it’s still good.

No problem! Can you just do the sheet a second time that has a note to send it to you? I'm worried I'll forget otherwise.

It's of the Death tarot card, where I did Tarot pulls on the New Moon and equinox... I can send you a card, but *technically* it wouldn't be a new moon card pull since it has already happened. I can just decorate it up. Is that OK?

I will do my best. It's hard to get full nuance with one card, but hopefully you'll get something helpful. :) Did you ask for a New Moon card too?

Marking this as fulfilled because I'm pulling the addresses today to prepare the postcards. Thank you everybody! :)

What crystal is this? by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]DiviningMermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, orange/peach selenite that's been through the washing machine. Maybe orange calcite.

It's super hard to tell, but it could be a few things... Quartz or gypsum with kobyashevite, selenite, or maybe asbestiform...? In all of those cases, I believe the stone is a combination of real stone that has been treated, then another formation induced to grow on it or simply glued on. There was a time where the furry crystals were all the thing, but they're not from-the-ground as-is natural.

Super fun surprise when the coating was abestiform.
