    If anyone would like a little something from England in their card drop me a PM and tell me what you would like and you might get it. You don't get haggis or Kinder eggs because you people aren't allowed them

      We are allowed to have a variety of Kinder Eggs called Kinder Joy in the US. But instead of the treat being inside the chocolate egg, the chocolate and treat are separated.

        You also get (I think) only half an "egg" of chocolate in a Joy. ;(

          Yeah, it's half chocolate, half toy. My friend's sister got them for their kids for Halloween.

            Sounds like a decent exchange in my view;

                    Not counting spaces and punctuation, what he just sent me is 105 characters (for the whole address). Last year it was 69 characters.

                      I saw Cache County and my ears perked up... I actually really enjoyed the one year that I lived there (I was in Logan)

                        Even the winter?
                        Riverside became part of Benson which is 6-8 miles NW of Logan. I lived in the home my dad was born in for my late teens. In the 2 miles of 2400W around our house there were 8 other families of my dad's 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins.

                          I think I might add some Christmas stickers to the outside of the envelopes this year, if I can get off my sorry behind and get to the store to see if I can find some.
                          Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

                              I usually fill the blank spots on the label sheet with pictures/clip art.
