So last Wednesday (today is Sunday), I received a letter send on the 25th from California, it took about a week. The yesterday I received a letter from Florida, the side closer to Europe, and it was send the 20th and thus took over two weeks. Interesting! I also got mail from lamb, my aunt, pixelante, barclayed, Mr and Mrs Genesplicer and Zoesdare. This weekend was recovery weekend, I played stardew valley and made sure the kids were fed and that was about it. Oh, we did two jigsaws as a family. Anyway, letter writing will resume the coming week, keep an eye on your mailbox y'all.

Hey everyone! I went on a two week trip to Texas, which ended up being 2+ months, but I am going to be moving there soon. I know I've gotten some goonmail from some of you (Lookin' at you Lamb!). I still have my house here in Florida because I need to get the rest of my stuff out and sell it, but I am not really going to be here to check the mail consistently, so I need to put myself on hold. I'm not sure if I am going to get a PO box over there or if I am going to just use the house address, but I'll update--- also I most likely will still try to send out some goonmail myself. :-) Hope everyone is doing okay and thank you for the goonmail!

Rad! I found this thread while looking for the sassmass thread... My address is C Smith 1 Parry Drive Temora New South Wales, 2666 Australia I'm into birds- plants- bugs- any kind of science or history- anything handmade or generally amateur- and everyday slices of life from other parts of the world. I intend to post out weird little hand drawn cards to anyone on the address list, 'cos mail is basically magic.

barclayed posted:forgive the ignorance... but out of curiosity, what is sassmass? Something Awful Secret Santa. It runs in GBS every year, hosted by Tiaz. Tons of goons sign up to send presents all over the world. Yes, occasionally you get deadbeated by some loser who fails to send your present, but there's always "super santas" standing by to send presents to people who got ditched by their proper santa. I've gotten all kinds of weird and cool stuff over the years, including liquor, trinkets, vintage magazines, food, toys, and art. Usually Tiaz drops the thread around now (or earlier) and you have a couple weeks to sign up before the big wheel-spin that assigns you your santee.

Hi, you guys! I'm well behind on my mail since moving house this year. But I wanted to say thank you to Lamb and Zoesdare for the recent Halloween mail! Let's hope I can get my poo poo together to send some festive notes. Heh.

Hello fellow goons! I've had a pretty hard year with my mum passing the 26 of December last year, so in order to distract myself from.. everything and because my therapist thinks it'll be good for me, I'll be mailing out Christmas cards. A. Sanborn 418 Tibbetts Rd. Exeter, ME 04435

Holy poo poo what do they do to those PO boxes, do they get filled with gold or something?? I pay precisely 23.60 per year and can cancel any time but pay upfront for a year regardless with no refund, so it's basically almost as expensive but actually it's not, why would it, it's just a tiny little door in some place that fits letters? barclayed posted:that is. crazy. GoG, i want to move to germany (except not really because your story of nazi tattoo guy sounds. insane.) At least that is illegal over here and he's literally the first person I ever see with this in 27 years of being German Keetron posted:280 per year for me, plus another 200 if I want the mail to be forwarded to my house.

barclayed posted:wait i just processed this A P.O. Box would only be about privacy as the mail person can find my house just fine. And not having to change my address when I move. Also, my laziness knows no bounds, why go to the post office when they can deliver to my house? I mean, spending a lot or a lot more is by that point moot. So anyway, I gave goons my address, only good things have happened. I’m writing you a letter so please let me know what to write on the envelope.

I haven't been opening my mail since, well, my dad stopped being in remission since the final round of letters I sent. I removed my address from the list since I don't want to be all take and no give, and I don't know when I'll next have the energy to write a batch. But I do have letters here I'd like to thank people for - Keetron, Zoesdare, Lamb, Poo -- and I think I'm missing a couple of people whose letters are in a box at home and I'll equally cherish! Thank you so much, they really brightened my day!

barclayed posted:wtf my usps wants like $46 for three months I worked for the USPS for a few years and PO box prices are split into two categories: competetive priceing and rural. So if you live anywhere that has a UPS/FedEx/Amazon Warehouse, you're going to pay more then some small nowhere town that has to ship their kids an hour away for school.

Maybe next year, since I had an idea I wanted to do and probably mentioned it in here before. Edit: This is apparently my first post in here. Guess I haven't mentioned anything, whoops.
