Oh how FUN!!! I live in NJ, but just across the bridge from PA. I will get both!! Hope she wins!
Thanks for the heads up on Facebook 5cardstud!!
You are very welcome and thank you Tracy.
You should win with a spirit like that. Plus you deserve the Official Fusionman Acceptance Certificate for going over and above.

I looked for this post and the other one I did on the forum suppliers post and I saw neither. I also saw another post at the same time I posted the other thread but not these. Makes me wonder if maybe that's why no one knows about it.

You guys are amazing!! :wub: We got numbers 12 & 13 in yesterday, & hopefully more coming in today!



Funny story about this one!! Everyone at the Post Office & also including Isaac thought that our president Barack Obama sent this! On the back, at the very bottom (where you would normally sign your name) one of the facts was that Barack Obama is our 44th president. So I guess everyone at the post office was like "OMG, you got a postcard from OBAMA!" LOL They are silly... although that would be pretty cool. I think her class would have to win no matter what! Haha

I know I'm sounding pretty repetitive at this point, but thank you all so very much for helping with this contest!!! From posting it on Facebook and other places on the forum, telling your family and friends about it. It really means a lot to us that you all are so willing to help out and keep this thing going!! Isaac and I can't really leave our little sub-forum on here. Every time we do our posts get deleted... :grr: So we've pretty much "learned our place" and stay here. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!! & GALS!! :wub::wub:

I'm going to try MN as well. Through the brother of a friend.

But if anyone is from MN.............send it, because again I just don't know. He works for a some big company so I know time is short for him.

Does it just have to be a current date? Or does it also need the state stamp. I have post cards from other states. Would that be cheating? Technically it doesn't say they need the state postal stamp. Just mailed with a current date and details about the state. But morally??????????? I don't know what others are doing.

I think earlier in the thread she said they needed to be postmarked in the same state as the card ...

I believe that it has to be postmarked from the state that the card is from. That's one of the things that the teachers are looking for. The date needs to be current & the postmark I guess is to tell what state it's getting mailed from. IDK what they would do if it was one state on the front of the card and mailed from another state...

We are definitely getting there! We've got 15 states in so far (with the ones my family sent) and a lot more ppl saying that they are sending!!! You are all truly amazing for helping us with this!! Isaac and I LOVE when the vaping family comes together so we've been nothing but smiles with everyone going above and beyond what they actually needed to do. I wish I could jump through the computer and hug each and every one of you! I guess I'll just have to settle for this...

Okay, I can NOT believe this :( *shakes head * :unsure: There is no such animal as a Florida Postcard any longer unless you live near a tourist attraction ! :-x The one I previously sent was one I had here in a drawer at the house (embarrassed to say), the last "Florida" I had Sooooooooo I spent the morning out to all the local stores to find another. :glare: "No, We're sorry Ma'am we don't carry that."...Was what I got everyplace !! One nice guy walked me over to the envelopes though :facepalm: and said There ya go, that's our mailing stuff :?: Then I tried the Post Office cuz everyone told me go there....."Yes, we have Post Cards for the Prison.".....:confused: WHAT !!??!! :blink: Then she gets one and said this is all the post cards we have here, they were completely white and used for the inmate program at the prison. :unsure: I said Thank You but my little girlfriend is NOT a prisoner and those just will NOT do. :laugh::laugh::laugh: I could not believe my experience today in search of a simple Florida Post Card !! :laugh: Now.......I do not live close to any tourist attractions and don't think I wanna drive 100 miles for a card, so I can only hope the other one or another Florida one gets to her :oops: I am so sorry for this. I think it's Un-American NOT to supply State Post Cards EVERYWHERE ! :p

Sounds like you have had quite the day!! Please don't apologize, it's not your fault!! The postal service really sucks sometimes. I'm sure your postcard will make it here! When did you send it?? Isaac bought me a gift certificate online to a spa for my 1st mother's day and it never came to the house, so he had to drive there and get a replacement card... 2 or 3 years later guess what shows up in the mail! Looking like it was run over about a million times before it arrived to us. Even if it doesn't arrive to us in time for Lara's school contest, I'm sure it will get here, and we'll definitely get you your credit :)

At least you know where to go if you ever want to have a penpal from the prison :lol::lol:
