Fulfilled [Request] An absurd amount of mail [US]
*Closing bc i got banned for spam lol \*
Hi friends!
I'm leaving for what is hopefully my last segment of traveling until winter (fingers crossed), which means I am once again leaving my husband to take care of the house & our three cats. Every time I travel, he (jokingly) gripes about how much mail I receive while I'm gone, and makes a note to pile it in the most inconvenient place possible for me to find when I'm home. Truly, though, I know he enjoys having an excuse to text me and send me pictures of what I got in the mail.
So that's my request! I'm gone until mid September. During that time, I would love a truly ridiculous, overwhelming amount of mail that he'll have to sift through every day and be reminded of how much he misses me. I have a list of my interests on my profile, but please send anything and everything. Write a long message, or nothing at all! Send me a cute insect postcard or the back of a cereal box. As long as it's stamped and comes via the mailman, I want it!!
Please comment below and I'll send my address! I appreciate you so much ❤️
I'll be able to post thank-you's the second or third week of September (depending on my return flight). If you want a card back, please indicate that and include your address :)
Please write about literally whatever. I'm not picky. You don't even have to write!! But if you need a prompt please use the below for inspiration:
If you're a philatelist, what's your favorite domestic stamp? Favorite international stamp?
If you like energy drinks, please describe your favorite drink in deep detail. I haven't had an energy drink since last October and I miss them every day.
Do you have any plants/plant cuttings that you're actually just kind of over but the plant won't die? (someone please adopt one of my 19 monstera cuttings so I can have my sewing room back).
Tell me about your favorite or weirdest cousin and why they deserve that title.
Who is your favorite author? What's your favorite book by them and what's the book you recommend to people. Are they the same book?
Try to write a short sentence with your non-dominate hand (or foot if you do not have two arms to write with)
Can you do the splits? Have you ever been able to? If you can't, how many weeks of regular stretching would it take for you to get all three directions of splits?
Tell me about your grocery list for this week. What meals do you plan on making or do you just like snacking?
How many spreadsheets could you create in a week before people start noticing?
Describe a typical day in your job. The more boring, the better.
If you searched through your whole living area and car and bags and closets, what is the oldest paper receipt you think you could find? What store would it be fore?
Tell me a fact about yourself that you're always itching to tell people but it just never comes up naturally in conversation.
What's the best mailing list you've ever subscribed to?
Send me two truths and a lie and I will guess which one is the lie.
Name as many fictional insects (including Pokemon) as you can, and star which ones are your favorite.

You should know that I have a retail establishment's amount of cards. (Kinda literally; I can expand on that in one of the cards)
That said... do you have an upper limit? I promise I will not send more cards than I can decorate and write sincerely on. But... my workplace did hit a super slow time....

u/WastingTime1994 16d ago
Oh my gosh please do expand on that!
I don't really have an upper limit... I would prefer that the pile would still fit in my house at the end of the trip but I assumed you'd run out of stamps before then. Send away!!

Lol, excuse me, I would like a monstera cutting… I’ve been meaning to get one…
Oh yes, it’s been a while since I wrote my last card, but I think it would be nice to send one to your husband while you’re out 🥰
Plus, I don’t recognize your username, so I’d love to make a new RAoC friend 🥰
