me: "I would like six 2.25€ post stamps, six 50 cent stamps, six 20 cent stamps, six 10 cent stamps and twelve five cent stamps."
teenager girl behind the counter: "We can print you these stick on labels with any amount"
me: *offended by the suggestion*
girl: *gives a deep sigh* "Ok so what did you say..."
All remaining cards sent, so now all cards should be on their way!


Yeah, you had our postman quite intrigued. He actually rang to hand over the letter, to find out what this is about. And I was wondering if I'm now required to call up friends that still remember how to remove ink so you can have them back. :D

I once sent some stuff for prizes to @Party and the USPS had Batman stamps at the time. I asked at the counter how many forever stamps it would take to mail the box, and they calculated it out, gave me the sheets, and I stood to the right while I plastered the top of the box with Batman stamps.

I learned later that Dr Claw cut off and kept the top of that box. 😄

The ink though is nowadays different, it's not anymore the kind of that you lick but more like normal sticker that comes with a backing layer. idk if it's harder or easier to remove, but the old knowledge might not be applicable anymore.

Not that there's any real point doing so :D

Missed the exchange this year because somehow I ran out of time so it was quite a big surprise when a nice card arrived today. Thanks a lot platon42!

Is it worth creating a launch notification list?

I hadn't done so before because originally I didn't have email support, but now that I do, because it'd require me to keep data from year to year (even if it was only just an email address) which I'd rather not do.

But if enough people would rather that I did, I can think about it.

Most likely it'd be an email-only sign-up that shows up after the exchange closes at the end of January that sends a single email on launch in 2023. (Then deletes the email addresses.)
Cards will be sent today. A bit last-minute, sorry. I hope they will arrive in time.
Caught covid and wasn't really able to do anything...

Thanks for the tons of swag and the nice art, spiny!
platon42: Thanks a lot for the nice cards and the warm message <3
Florist: HOLY CRAP thank you for the elaborate puzzle and the 80s throwback! The effort you put in does show, and somehow the poem patch made it more christmassy :) Still working on the puzzle - and I hate you for the diagonals xD
RaccoonViolet: Told you on Masto already - thanks SO MUCH for the beautiful individualized card and the nice pixel art! I promise to take my medicine daily!
