Comment: I finally had the opportunity to open your letter and I will absolutely be replying to it!!! I love that you collect typewriters. I would love to see a picture sometime! Having nurse friends is awesome!!! I almost cried at the tuck-ins you included. I've wanted to try a Calm Strip and I love the one you included. I really, really love the Strength tarot card... it made me think of my dad (he was also a Leo). Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Comment: Hi there, always good to have GROUP name of swap along with name of swap -- many are similar, took a bit to track it down. Yes, you've been away long time, think you perhaps have me confused with other swapper, but thanks for joining swap & sounds like you've been busy.

Comment: Hi Bean! I just got your swap in this morning's mail. I love the envelope you created; it's really cool with my name like that! I have to tell you that the stickers and the quote you included were absolutely perfect for me today. We are going through a difficult time right now with some friends, and I was able to share the quote with them and show them the stickers. All of it really speaks to our current situation, and crazily enough, I feel like God spoke to us through the happy mail you sent me. Thank you.

Comment: Thank you for the letter and extra tuck-ins. I don't mind reading you rant. I'm definitely a ranter (autocorrect is telling me that's not a word) myself. It's so annoying when a supervisor won't do anything about a troublesome coworker. Does that make it the coworker's fault or the supervisor's? It makes you wonder. I'm glad you got out of that toxic situation. I think you are a saint for being able to provide nursing care for your mother-in-law and anyone else for that matter. I'm definitely not made out for that type of career.

Comment: ♥ I got the second sending. Thank you. Well worth the wait. I am very impressed with the ATC, but sorry you had to make it twice. I also like the card and confetti. Thanks again.

Comment: Thank you, Bean, for the woven and sewn leopard postcard, the cool sticker (which I interpret as a gay brown power symbol) and the delicious stamps (especially the fir cones, toleware, Tiffany and coffeepot).
