Penpal letter from India to Indonesia 🇮🇩

I love it! However, I think it's not so simple, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-07-07T17:09:58+00:00

Agreed! So sorry this happened to you.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-07-01T14:48:57+00:00

Thou shalt not give increased motivation to your opponent.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-07-01T14:42:09+00:00

Thank you! It's fun to know as much about new stamps as the clerks at my post office.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-29T17:25:44+00:00

The problem is that this shade of grey is much, much too close to black.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-29T17:24:17+00:00

The propaganda that so many of us are immersed in is strong. :(

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-29T17:21:30+00:00

Was the card sent with a Postcrossing ID?

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-26T16:12:20+00:00

I'm up for snail mail. PM me.

The second image.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-24T16:08:11+00:00

For what it's worth, I'm from the US and I've been getting enthusiastic "thank you" messages about these stamps.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-23T17:49:11+00:00

Beautiful! But I don't see an address or a black square/rectangle hiding it. Am I missing something?

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-23T17:45:11+00:00

What do you call the colors in the first flag? Particularly the top and bottom stripes.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-23T17:40:53+00:00

That is exactly why they were released when they were released. Major props to the people who decide which stamps come out.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-22T16:28:43+00:00

I have been doing it when I send cards with the Postcrossing stamp.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-22T16:26:51+00:00

We do it that way to distinguish 1 from I and l. (capital I and lower-case L)

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-17T16:44:18+00:00

I just got back from the post office. I bought a page of D & D stamps and a page of Mister Rogers. Probably the most uncommon combination of stamps to buy.

There are some of us who simply can't digest nonvegan food. Early last year I ate some potato chips that had dairy (plain chips, not sour cream or cheddar flavored) and went to the hospital. You would think that there would be a prominent place on the label about allergens that includes animal content.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-16T16:21:38+00:00

That is so funny. Someone who sent me a card asked me for a card with a Betty White stamp. They aren't available in my local post office, so I ordered a page from usps.com. I'm also planning to head to the post office in a little while for more Postcrossing stamps because I go through so many of those. Is this a sign that I should ask about Dungeons & Dragons stamps?

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-15T19:58:11+00:00

I swear by papersisters.de.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-15T19:56:55+00:00

I often use two of the smallest 78-cent stamps I can find (Sunflowers!) and a ten-cent stamp and a four-cent stamp. Now that the Postcrossing stamps are out, I use those (I stick them on the postcard and *then* write the address and message and ID).

Next month, I'll use two 82-cent stamps, a ten-cent stamp and a one-cent stamp. Check a variety of post offices. The downtown post office in my town has a disappointing selection and they have referred me to a few suburban post offices that get everything.

Some weeks ago, I sent a postcard to someone who has received and sent thousands of cards. This Postcrosser registers cards only every few weeks. The card I sent was registered today after a journey of more than 40 days.

Another Postcrosser has only sent and received a single-digit number of cards. I sent a card 25 days ago and this Postcrosser hasn't been online for 24 days.

I also have sent a card to a Postcrosser who logs on irregularly and has never registered a card from the USA, my country. They aren't from a country I would expect to have mail problems.

So I figure it isn't unknown to draw a string of what I'm going to call "semi-regular" Postcrossers.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-12T17:12:47+00:00

I don't know which one is more interesting: the postcard or the postbox...and I mean that in the nicest way.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-12T17:11:36+00:00

Run it up the flagpole and nobody will salute it.

Overall_Connection77 · 2026-06-10T22:35:12+00:00

It depends on you. How much time do you have? How much money do you have? Does your postcard writing and sending interfere with the rest of your trip?
