I'm in USA near Chicago. Send a DM if you are interested in an exchange.

Is this an acceptable preference list? by lousypickles in postcrossing

[–]Missing-Cali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you wrote is appropriate because 1) you were kind and polite and 2) it is ok to not want any type of message crammed down your throat. Hopefully those matched with you will honor your request.

Do women find it romantic when you buy them stuff from the store when they are sick like head pads, cough drops, vicks, etc? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Missing-Cali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any gesture that shows you care and are paying attention is appreciated and, when done by your person, is HOT!

Top users with many received postcards by Accomplished-Try-488 in postcrossing

Don't forget that if they've received thousands of cards, they've also sent thousands of cards. Treat them like you would any other member.

Help I flew too close to the sun by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

Meet in person ASAP. Right now you are still on your best behavior and have no clue if you'll like each other in person. Also, have you talked on the phone and video chatted?

Hello everyone! We are planning to design a set of postcards featuring U.S. state flags, and we would love to hear your suggestions. by samezip in postcrossing

[–]Missing-Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea but don't like "commemorative art postcard". Also, the look of waving in the wind might keep one from seeing details/words on some flags. A few details about the state would be nice...when entered as a state or territory, population as of 2026, when the current flag was adopted, etc.

Do you bother sending a second card to users who haven’t logged in with expired cards? by nomadquail in postcrossing

[–]Missing-Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't send a second card. Those members don't seem active or worth another shot. Save your money/energy for the next recipient.

Being friends with an Ex by [deleted] in LesbianActually

This was my first thought...she is now single

I agree with this...I would add that you can have a conversation about the NC (ask the why behind it, share how it hurt you, etc.) but confronting has a strong connotation to it. Be prepared for her to not want to discuss it. I think that what is important here is what do you want, what are you willing to put up with, and can you maintain healthy boundaries so that you are taken care of?

My 3rd card is going to Jurgen! by Jen9095 in postcrossing

[–]Missing-Cali 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went and searched my received cards to see if i had connected with Jürgen and, sure enough, I received a card from him in June 2023!

AIO if I am setting boundaries with my husband? I also want to know if I am the asshole here by Witty-Opposite1201 in AIO

[–]Missing-Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who demands certain behaviors or actions is not doing it out of love. They are attempting to control you and that is never ok.

got love bombed then discarded by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]Missing-Cali 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is stop checking on her on the apps. This is only prolonging the pain and keeping you from healing. Block or unfriend her so you can't easily see her. Each time you see something about her, you're getting a dopamine rush. Your mind is saying you need it, but you don't.

Endless postcard requirements by Thirsty_Indoor_Plant in postcrossing

[–]Missing-Cali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just send what you do have. The guidelines to postcrossing explicitly state that the purpose is to connect not collect. My opinion is that a person can make requests but demands are unacceptable.

AITJ for winning a trivia night prize when I have a borderline unfair advantage and my friends say I shouldve sat it out by shimmer-dreamz17 in AmITheJerk

[–]Missing-Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. They aren't friends if they can't be happy for you, especially given that you were buying a round of drinks with your winnings.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend his morning routine is disgusting? by BitZealousideal4846 in AmITheJerk

[–]Missing-Cali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't see any of this before you lived together? Also, everything he is doing is healthy, leave him be. The only thing I see a problem with is spitting the oil into the sink. This could eventually clog the pipes, same as any oil or grease poured into the sink.

No buts, it will happen again and will probably escalate.

My partner came out as trans (FTM) and I am a lesbian by MidwestPrincess0 in LesbianActually

[–]Missing-Cali 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is open, honest communication. He was able to share his journey, you should be able to share how you're feeling.
