I have received many great cards. Thank you!! I am too lame to post pictures or name names (but you know who you are). Work has been ca-razy and I fell behind on sending cards but I plan to get more cards out today or Monday.

So Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I went to Target today and bought a bunch of cheapo cards (the best kind) and I'm formulating some ideas for crafty stuff to send with them. On the Lego Valentines: don't send one to me but I definitely want to see pictures. I can't seem to wrap my mind around what these look like.

JimmydaFish posted:Hey everyone, I have a favor to ask. My mom has been quite sick lately (part of the reason I am behind on posting thanks for xmas cards) and she needs some cheering up. Would you kindly goons send her some fun/cute/cheerful cards to help her feel better? Better keep it clean since it is my mom. I would really appreciate it. I just want her to smile again and not be so miserable. I'll send your mom a homemade card that my mom made. It'll be pretty and/or cute and I hope it helps cheer her up a bit.

Mine aren't really goony - I grabbed a bunch from the dollar bins at Target and I'm going to add in a couple things to make it a tiny bit goony. Last year I sent out doofy Valentines of puppies and kittens - the kind that kids exchange in school. Got those from a dollar store.

 I got a start on my Valentine's cards this morning. Here's the obligatory fuzzy cell phone pic. I have a total of 40 cards that will go out. Wheee!

I sent out 39 Valentine's cards yesterday. It was going to be 40 cards but there was an incident involving an involuntary spasm and coffee. It wasn't pretty. They'll be writing songs and poetry about it for years. I sent to everyone that sent me X-mas cards (I'm pretty sure) and then picked randomly from the address list. Hope y'all like 'em. I love V-day - my favorite card exchanging holiday. Something about it brings out the kid in me and I love the pink and red EVERYTHING during the Winter grayness.

DLAO posted:I have ten more cards full of GOON LOVE ready to be deployed tomorrow. I got paid on Friday, so I could afford to buy more stamps. I'm glad Disargeria posted the recipe because I ran out before I sent your card. You're getting a special card, anyway, because you're my Goon-Hello Kitty soulmate. That sounded creepy.  To everyone else: I hope you make and enjoy those brownies. I'm trying to lose the holiday weight I gained (plus the ton I've gained as an adult) so I won't get to imbibe for a while. :hambeast:

I've been saving up my Goonmail since Saturday to open all at once, like Christmas presents! I couldn't sleep this morning and I've been up since FOUR O'CLOCK and decided I'd open everything to make me feel better. It worked! In no particular order: Lamb, thanks for the envelope full of goodies. I dig the cupcake button and the squirrel card is about the cutest thing I've seen all week. Jimmy da Fish, I love the heart stickers and the fortune teller fish -- holy crap! That was a blast from the past -- I have vague memories of something like that from whenI was a kid, which reminded me of other stuff and, well, I had a little trip down memory lane this morning all over that goofy little fish. Thanks. DLAO, totally diggin' the HK card, complete with TATTOO! Your cupcake card is adorable. Handmade, I assume? Where did you find that cupcake paper? 'Cuz I want some! Also, I think I might make a ShrinkyDink out of my Scooby-Doo coloring page. Crazy Old Clarice, thanks for the envelope full of randomness. I have never seen such a tiny pop-up card, much less in Valentine format. Adorbs! I'm lovin' the stickers, button, playing card and Hello Kitty! thingies (tokens?). TeamLunch, origami hearts FTW! So little! So red! So folded! Thank you! I'm gonna be rockin' those flower tats, too. And, finally, I came home last night to find  DRUNKEN MAIL from Killamajig and PezMaster. I'm not exactly sure what you said because the stamp covered part of your note, but it had something to do with Mexican happy hour and an Italian wine bar. I can tell that you guys are fun at parties.Aaaand, as I sat here typing up my gratitude, it struck me that there was at least one other envelope that I received but haven't opened and I can't seem to find it. If you sent me a card and I haven't acknowledged it, it's probably in the void. It'll turn up. My roommates and I are disorganized pigs, but stuff always turns up again.

Jimmy da Fish and the former Mustard Master (now Man of the Year): I got your Valentine yesterday and your letter today, but they were pretty totaled, and Mustard Master's candy was gone. There's an 800 number on the USPS website: the post office Alternatively, you could call your local PO and ask to talk to the...manager?

My goonentine from lamb I received last week was just the scratch to reveal card left in a mostly open envelope... and these are just the latest in a string, so I'm noticing a pattern. Ya'll work too hard to have your mail trashed!! 
Has anyone else been having this problem (or know what causes this problem??)? Is my mail making it to folks okay (albeit waaaaaaaay too slow, I've noticed)???

It's been a crazy couple weeks, including moving. I'm behind on thank yous. I've noticed the PO won't forward stuff addressed to "Shoozy". I'm still checking mail at the old place but please don't send anymore thee. My new address is: Shoozy Kopp 1969 W Evergreen Chicago IL 60622 I'll not be doing mass mailings like I did for v-day, but I'm definitely going to be mailing stuff. I live sending and getting mail.

DLAO posted:Are any of you goons still looking for potential penpals? I just found a bunch of stationary I bought a year or two ago that I NEVER used and am now reinvigorated to the cause of sending Goon Mail. :-) Ya know what? This sounds kinda fun. I didn't respond before because of some unpredictable happenings, but things are on track. Now how exactly does this work? I only ever had one pen pal and he was in a Nevada prison and I was 12. No, he did not send me anything inappropriate. From what I recall, I just write about my dumb life and he sent me drawings and poems and stuff. Is that what the kids are still doing these days?

I have had a tough month. My mom died unexpectedly so I've been dealing with that. Nonetheless, I am eager to get back in the swing of things and am going to send some mail out to the usual suspects over the weekend. Did you know that May 11 is "Eat want you want" day? I may send some recipes out. May 16 is "National sea monkey day". I will not be sending anyone freeze dried shrimp.

I feel like I've neglected this thread, too, although I don't have the awesome excuse as Panorama_change does. That's a sweet lookin' pup ya got there. Since my mom died, I've been alternating between procrastination and slothfulness. I received some very nice sympathy notes from a few of you. Thank you. I never did manage to send any May cards out. I might manage to get some June cards out...

I sent new cards to you goons listed above. Frankly, the ones I sent first were pretty but kind of boring. I found more interesting ones so I sent those. I also sent postcards to mysa09 and shananaginsluck today. I have to go now. My brain is mush from all the daiquiris and lazing about. Hope I remember how to, like, get to the airport and stuff.

Senior Scarybagels posted:I just got yours today! It is beautiful and hanging on my wall year round! Is the food good there? Yay! The food is just okay. I was disappointed by the lack of authentic Mexican food. They have pizza, Italian, Chinese, Cuban, American, gourmet food using typical Mexican flavors. We had some very good rib-eye steaks at one place. The two Mexican-type restaurants they had actually looked pretty gimmicky and so we didn't even go in. Then again, there were a couple small places that I never made it in to that looked like they had good Mexican. If you like ceviche, you'll be in heaven. We ate at one place that was on the beach right where a lot of the fishing boats dock. One family caught a ...something... and they had it made into ceviche that they brought back to the hotel and had for dinner the next night. I thought that was pretty cool. I think the thing I'll remember the most about the whole trip is the amount of time we spent outside. The temperature was so perfectly warm and the ocean breezes are just about everywhere, that we just didn't want to be inside. Ever. We wouldn't even eat at a restaurant if their outdoor seating was full. I think the only time we were inside was when we slept.
