I'm sure y'all know that the Postcardx site has been fux0red for awhile with the not allowing searches and all that...well I just went to do one of my periodic checks on if it was in working order again yet and the domain can't be found. So sad! Well, if anyone here still wants me to send you a postcard you can send me your address and I will.
current mood:  sad

10:35 am - Seeking someone from the old site.

I know that this is a long shot, but over at the old PX, before the deletings happened, I wanted to send something to a girl who went by the name Alice Ophelia. This wasn't her real name, but that's all I remember about her. I can't find her address anywhere and no one seems to have saved it.
Do you know her? Are you her? Get in touch. I think Rose wants to talk to you. :)
(This is xposted to a few other PX-related communities, in hopes that I'll find her somehow.)

Last night, I went alone for a run along darkened highways. It was late - that they were darkened at 10:00p.m was an oddity, not a matter of course. The light doesn't fade until after midnight, here, and the clouds were each shot through with an odd monochrome radiance. The sky wasn't merely grey, it was huge shifting patchwork of it. An oil-painting done of the sea which reflected it, in paints with elements like titanium and zinc in them. I ran until I got to the little fishing village and cruise-ship dock away from Auke Bay, still on the Glacier Highway. I looked out over the water and saw a nothing - but puckered, wrinkled, it was grey spinning towards me. You see, it doesn't really rain here. The mountains channel the clouds, and when they touch ground, everything gets wet. This cloud had laid itself loosely over the islands at the head of the Bay, and then headed inland. Standing out in the open, against the cliff wall of the highway, it slammed into me, and bunched up with nowhere to go. At first it wreathed the ships in the harbor, and then the pier structures - curiously, almost, tenderly. Tendrils from the main mass, running ahead, acting as scouts. Lost in a million different shades of grey, I sat down on the shoulder of the road, away from cars, and stared out into a space suddenly changed entirely by nothing more than water vapor. Limitless, endlessly shifting, mesmerizing, it was beautiful. It was haunting. I'm glad I was there.
I'm looking for postcard fiction. Are you the kind of person who writes it? I wonder.

I can't access the postcardx site! Anyone else having trouble?
In the meantime, I have a bunch of random things from my desk that I'd like to send out. Any takers? Comment with your address and I'll start sending :)

8:05 pm - Mail destroyed in I-4 Accident and fires
|

Just a head's up for anyone who was shipping items outbound from Florida, adding insult to horrible injury, about 500 pieces of mail were destroyed in Wednesday's terrible I-4 accidents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quoted news article:
Most Burned Mail Came From These ZIPs
Posted Jan 10, 2008 by Neil Johnson
Updated Jan 10, 2008 at 02:31 PM
The United States Postal Service says the roughly 490 pieces of Priority Mail that burned in the Interstate 4 wrecks on Wednesday came from Southwest Florida.
The mail may have come from ZIP codes beginning with these numbers: 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 341, 342 and 346.
Here’s where you can check tracking and tracing for a Priority Mail item mailed on Tuesday to the Central Florida or Miami area. http://www.usps.com/
For information regarding claims on insured packages, go here. http://www.usps.com/insuranceclaims/welcome.htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not that packages in any way are as valuable as people's lives, but it's still a piece of information people need to know if they shipped or were expecting packages from Florida.

I have several My Little Ponies that are in great condition that I would like to give away to someone who would enjoy them. Included are two out of the three of the warm crystal breezies and all of the cool coloured ones. There are also two of the Original 1983 remakes (the yellow one and the blue one). Then, there are four others, one of which I cannot find an image for, but she's blue and green, one that was only sold in Target stores and two that were for a promotional give-a-way.
There is no catch. Just let me know that you want them, I'll give you my email, you send me your address and I'll mail them out in the morning the next day (so long as it's a week day). Again, I really would like them to go to someone who would really enjoy them and/or play with them. They were a gift, but they are collecting dust in our home.

If you've been keeping up with the conversations on the Official PX Google group, this isn't news to you, but there's a lot of px members who don't check there so I thought I'd relay the information here as well.
With the rampant troll infestation and continual deletion of every single address repeatedly the last couple weeks, a few px members took it upon themselves to make another site. I'm NOT involved in it and I have nothing to do with it's development or management. So this isn't personal spam, just a head's up for anyone who was looking for alternatives. They took what was great about px and kept it but fixed what was terrible. (Like the uncontrolled deletions, vandalization and related.) It just went live but there might still be some bugs to work out.
So feel free to post your address over at sendsomething.net if you're looking for an additional place to mail random goodness.

seems everything has gone again.
would anyone else be prepared to use this space for the time being?
we could make friend only posts and add our profile and address here, then it can't be deleted. tag each entry with "profile" or "member" to make searching easy.
good idea? bad idea?

Okay, as much as I love postcardx
I really don't want to see the database get built up, piece by piece, over months, to be washed away yet again.
So, I was thinking we should start a postcardx group on Facebook.
Because, while facebook is as ridiculous as all that sorts of things, it does seem like it would have a pretty good way of keeping people's addresses. I think we could make the group invisible to those outside, if that was wanted.
Are many people on here on facebook? What do you think of this idea?
