If they don't include a personal note, I don't support them. OK. So now I'm going to be one of those people. Here is the letter I'm supposed to mail to friends. Unfortunately, I only have 37cent stamps and I'm already late in getting this out. If you can help, please send me an e-mail at my screenname at hotmail.com and I will give you the address to send them. Think how good you'll make the little tykes feel. I'll even send you back a special little something. Now if I only knew somebody who is a flight attendant . . . Dear ________________ Hello! My second grade class is studying the similarities and differences of countries and continents. We would appreciate you helping us bring geography to life by participating in our postcard project. Please send us a postcard with a picture of something that is significant about the place you live. Also, we would love to hear information about your area of the world. Feel free to include: famous landmarks weather capital celebrations languages spoken (if applicable) [what the heck does the "if applicable" mean anyway - are there some countries that don't speak any languages?] bordering states or countries oceans, lakes, rivers regional food any other special information We will anxiously be awaiting your postcard. They will be on display creating a visual picture of our unique world. Thank you for your help, the undertwo twins. [the "anxiously awaiting" is a nice touch, isn't it - makes you want to hop to it!]

Originally Posted By threeundertwo ooooh! Venice! Just mail it to my home address. The one where you send me plates and spoons. In fact, we could use some plates and spoons around here right now, we're getting pretty tired of the plastic and paper ones . . .

Originally Posted By Ursula Venice it is. I'll stop by the liquor store on the way to work and pick up or or two. You should have it shortly. How is the re-model coming along? Oh, you should stop by the pregnancy thread to see who is expecting around here.
Originally Posted By threeundertwo what remodel? You mean the one where a beam fell out of the ceiling yesterday? Not a little plank or something, a BEAM. I'm a wreck. There are days when I just can't even breathe, I'm so stressed out. So when you say Venice, you mean Venice California, right? Does your liquor store have postcards from Venice Italy?
