About Me

54 year old married pharmacist with a beautiful wife and daughter. I've belonged to postcard exchange groups (at Yahoo) for twenty years and used to own and/or moderate several myself. I like foreign, map, and animal postcards as well as military and automotive. I collect baseball caps and tee-shirts as well as postcards. By the way, I sponsor a lot of swaps on Swap-Bot, both in groups and individually. If you are ever flaked on contact me and I will be happy to angel for that swap.

I always rate. If I didn't rate you it's because I never received your swap. BTW November 2022 - 7 envelopes are missing. This has become a pattern lately. Every month several swaps never show up, but November 2022 has been the worst.

My daughter loves stickers and decorates all my envelopes and postcards with them. She even puts them on bill envelopes that are mailed. I told her that they probably go thru some kind of sorting machine and that people would probably never see them. She said "maybe someone would, like the mail carrier, and they would get a smile from them." We know all our mail carriers by name and speak to them when we see them.

Favorite Music

Rock, classical, c&w

Favorite Books

Picture books, seriously, those big coffee table books with large clear pictures. I have a lot of those with magazine photos like Look and Life and dozens with historic buildings and castles. I also collect foreign language dictionaries and baseball caps. I also have a million tee-shirts which wife would like me to part with. I have several novels I read over and over.

Favorite Movies

Enjoy superhero and sci fi movies but usually wait until we can rent them.

Favorite Television

Not much of a TV-watcher anymore, prefer books and the Internet.

POSTCARD PREFERENCES

I like animals and birds (favorites are horses, dogs, wild cats, elephants, zebras, colorful tropical birds and frogs). I also like UNESCO sites, castles, religious buildings, old stone forts and bridges, whole country maps, flags, uniforms, anything military, native costumes, and anything colorful, historic, or interesting. I prefer cards unused, clean, newer, without smoke or mildew smell and in an envelope.

Comment: Hi Richard! Thanks for hosting the swap. I still had some postcards left from my trip in Poland and Germany so it's great to join the swap. I just got back to the warm and toasty weather of Singapore after enduring the icy cold winter in Europe. Have a happy new year and keep warm too! 😊
