disneygurlz2s Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Hi Everybody... Reporting on behalf of Sammi.... She has received about 20 so far from TPRers!! Many of the international ones are starting to arrive now. Unfortunately, little "Dory" isn't very good at remembering who and where they are all from, but I will find time to stop by the school and take a look for myself real soon. I know she did get the one from Zaney (Tokyo DL!). I think that one stood out in her mind because it had the RODENTS on it! Robb is right...she has until the 13th of November to receive. They don't have to be a park or even any special attraction...all states, countries and cities are interesting (I am actually looking forward to when we get to bring them home to see and read all of them!) Have a great weekend everybody!
TheHulk Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I can send you another one from FL. The city I live in dosen't have very many interesting facts, but I can write down two from a city close to me.
King of Ka Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I don't know if you guys have got one from PA yet; if not, I'll gladly send one. Good luck!
Troll Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I sent one from lowestoft earlier. I only had space for the 2 facts cos my writing is kinda big. It should be with you by next friday.
TheHulk Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Just got two post cards and I'll be sending them your way on Monday!
Medusa1861 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Ok, so i was about to send my postcard into the mail.. and then I realized, I have no idea how to write one out. Which side do you put the address on and which side do you write the words in? I've never done anything with postcards in my life.
TPDave Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Write your message on the left and the adress you want to send it to on the right
Medusa1861 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks, I feel so dumb for not knowing that.
Hurricane Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I'll be stopping by Dreamworld some time this week so I'll pick up a Postcard and mail it to you
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Ok, I have one from Indiana's Amish Country, one from the Windy City (do the facts count if they are printed on the card when you buy it?), one from Cedar Point, and one from here in Washington. You shoud be getting them by Wednesday or Tursday. Possibly earlier or later depending on the mail.............
TheRapidsNerd Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Dear Sammi and Mom, Been a busy couple weeks and FINALLY got the postcard in the mail today. Look for a Space Shot postcard from the US Space and Rocket Center in the coming week. Sorry for the delay. Looking forward to hearing how things turn out. Sounds like all will work out very well. Always glad to help out a fellow/sister TPR member. Best to you all, Michael
Big Mike Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Sammi and Mom!! I just got back from California and read your thread. I will also send a postcard from The Great State of New Jersey just in case the other one does not make it there I have also posted in my thread to send all my valuable Big Mike Readers to this thread to help out!!! Since it is the #1 thread of 2008, hopefully we can get the rest of the states you need!!! All the best and hope to meet up one day, Big Mike
disneygurlz2s Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 ^Thanks Big Mike.... Awesome job on Leno! Sammi received 4 more cards today, I think! I am going to try to stop at the school at the end of the week and see if I can get at least a picture of what they have hanging up.
ebl Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 ^ I'm working on getting one to you from Ventura County, CA. All I have to do is get out there and find a good one! Eric
BudtheWeiser Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hope mine got there from Sunny Brighton ok and that Sammy's class wins with all this great tpr help
Medusa1861 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 To big mike: Hey... I may not know what i'm doing completely and may be a bit of a procrastinator, but I finally did my part and got it in the mail and sent all correctly. We'll just have to see who came up with better NJ facts... My postcard is from Sandy Hook in Monmouth County! The best county in New Jersey! >= P
Big Mike Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 OK, Very cool then!! I will still send one because I want my postcard to be the best of them all Peace, Big Mike
Jojo19799 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Hey Sammi and Mom!! I'm sending out my postcard tomorrow, so it should arrive sometime next week!!
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Mine was held up a bit. I may be able to get my mom to get it in the mail. It will be there soon, though. I promise!
TheHulk Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Sent mine on Tuesday from FL! (Actually sent two) One of 'em has the sunshine skyway bridge on it, awesome bridge to drive across!
TheRapidsNerd Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Ok, sign me up for dumbest things said/did on TPR. It's been a LOOOONNNGGG time since I've sent anything snail mail, let alone addressing a post card. Well, when I sent it the other day, I put my address on it thinking "return to sender address" and not Sammi's address. EPIC FAIL! Sorry Sammi and Mom. I'll get it fixed and in the mail soon. Hope you get a laugh of this at least.
BudtheWeiser Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I shouldnt but hahahahaha that is quite funny
PirateTinkerbell Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Sammi! How excited we are about your wonderful class project! What a fun way to learn about our country! Our family (My Mom, Dad, and Me) live in Arizona. My Mom and Dad grew up in Ohio and I have lived in Arizona all my life. We're excited to assist you with your project and we will be sending you postcards from many places in our beautiful state. We hope you enjoy discovering the Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Montezuma Castle, the San Francisco Peaks, Meteor Crater, Sedona's red rock country, and lots of other special sights. We'll send you a postcard showing you what autumn looks like in northern Arizona. We're confident you will learn a lot from The Great State Race, have fun hearing from people!
TheRapidsNerd Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Mailing Postcard..Take 2 A funny thing happened on the way to mail your postcard today. I stopped by the US Space and Rocket Center gift shop to get another postcard after fubar-ing the first. On the way in is a little memorial for Miss Able Baker, one of the first monkeys in space. There's a tradition of leaving a banana on top of the monument as a little tribute. While looking at this, I noticed for the first time, a smaller, flat monument. This one was for Big Al, another space monkey AND Able's husband. Curiously, Able had her customary banana, but Big Al didn't. As luck would have it, I had a banana with me that I bought for breakfest this morning. The answer was obvious. I grinned and said quietly "Here you go, pal", placing the banana on the stone. For some reason, I briefly petted the stone just like you would a dog or cat. Yep, the second banana got his OWN banana today, thanks in part, to your class project. Where ever he is, I'm sure Big Al is one happy little space monkey. Hope you enjoy the story and postcard that's once again on it's way. Best, Michael
Beeja Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Hey! I sent mine a few weeks ago, I hope it got there on time! I sent one from Leuven, aka Beer Town, in a self-painted enveloppe to help Sammi's class win!
