Description:

I won some postcards on eBay from 1914 up to world war 2. it was so cool to read the cards and imagine the person writing them. Then I got to thinking, in 2118 will people be bidding on their version of eBay for our cards. wow! what view of our world would they get from the cards we send today. Back in the early 1900's-19'70's people wrote whole letters on cards now we get 'hi happy postcarding'

Write a letter to the future person who bids for your card off eBay, Tell them something about your world right now. Let's try not to get political please there is so much more you can talk about. talk about anything you want except politics (check for preferences on religion in profiles and avoid that if it is not welcome)

Recipients you are the guardians of the future protect your sacred charges!

Pick a postcard that you think your partner will enjoy (check their profile for hints) just do your best there it is senders choice. Write in response to the prompt above, stamp and send (naked written/stamped) the card off. If your partner prefers cards sent in an envelope you may do that but it MUST be written on.

Please remember to rate your partner. If you receive any postcard within swap rules with 5 facts, it is a 5 even if you do not like the postcard. Give your partner time to send your card AND contact them before rating a 3 or 1 to allow the person to fix any problems that may arise. Hearts are yours to give or not give as you see fit. Treat your partner as you would wish to be treated.

No recent/unaddressed 3's or 1's. No one listed as a problem swapper. Newbies with well filled out profiles

I will angel if needed after you contact the person and try to work something out and they have been rated a 1.

I hope so it seemed like a fun idea when I thought it up but then I began to wonder if I was just crazy LOL that in itself could be fun though
