Open House received from:
@coleandjojo - what a view of Grand Canyon National Park; Iāve been to the Outer Banks only once at Thanksgiving and we camped in Duck, NC - we thought the camper was going to be blown over at night it was so windy.
@jocrafts - an Urban Sketcher card of a fountain in Paris; I saw an ad for Emily in Paris and wondered if it would be good. I may have to check it out this weekend. I need a feel-good show.
Iād like to join 1060, Double Eagle, please.
Group 1162 is in the mail!
Cards for 1162 are mailed!
Hello!
In my quest to find a formal FAQ list (which is supposed to be on my hamburger menu and isnāt) I finally found something I ran across āin the beginning of the new forum transition.ā Itās the **Users Guide" and can be found here:
You may want to bookmark it. Itās helpful - doesnāt answer everything, but still helps! @maleko, jump in here if you know where FAQs might be hidden.
Iām also going to post the link on the opening page of this RR.
Hope it helps! 
Shesa-Renegade reporting in with new postcards from the mail yesterday! WHEEEE!!! haha @MichelleW

@kyvintage sent a beautiful Gorse Fairy card. I had never heard of a gorse before, so of course I looked it up (thank you, Google). What a beautiful flower. I had to switch to bifocals a couple of years ago. I got the progressives so you donāt see the line. They take a little getting used to, but I love mine now.

@coleandjojo sent a fun facts card of a jellyfish. They are such cool creatures. Iāve only ever been stung once, but that was enough for me. The stickers that you used are fabulous. I swear I could spend my entire paycheck on stickers and postcards. I will check out the food and drink RR! Thanks for the invite.
@jocrafts SQUEEE!!! A Biden/Obama postcard. Just seeing these two makes my heart so happy. I am thinking of going to the inauguration, too. My bestie lives in Raleigh NC, which is a 5 hour drive to DC. She wants to go, too. I think it will be monumental. I love all of the stamps that you used and the astronaut skipping rope sticker. I was never good at skipping rope, but I could play a mean game of jacks (do people even still play jacks, I wonder).

Thank you @Blue_Fox for the awesome Michigan license plate card! It ripped nearly in half on its journey, but I find that to be a part of its charm!
Thank you @kyvintage for the awesome Kentucky postcard! This is the first I have received in this style and I love it!

Thank you @serifluous for the fun beach card and fun facts about SF! I hope to see all of these places someday!
I tried adding the postcard pics, but I donāt know if it worked. Anyways, thanks to everyone again!!
May I please join a small group?
Hi @MichelleW, āFAQā and āForum Guidelinesā are just two different titles for the same category that can be found in the hamburger menu 
in the upper right corner of your Forum screen. If your Forum language is set to US English itās called āForum Guidelines,ā and if itās set to (non-US) English or another language, itās called āFAQ.ā
@paulo explains why there are two different titles for the same thing here.
Well, that resolves my confusion on another board about it. His definition of āFAQsā and my definition of āFAQsā are completely different. I have no clue about his answer. Anyway, back when I worked on a corporate website, FAQs were things like,
Q: How do I sign into my account?
A: Click on the āsign inā option in the upper right corner, duh.
Q: How do I cancel?
A: We donāt allow cancelations. Youāre on our list forever and ever.
Of course, Iām being very facetious.
So, the Userās Guide really does suit my purposes better than the guidelines. I have an idea, but need to think it through. Stay tunedā¦ 
Yeah, according to his reply, āFAQā was the default title from the software developers, not his idea. Thatās why he changed it to āForum Guidelines,ā which is much more appropriate. There were technical issues that prevented the change across all the different Forum languages. So we in the US to US round robin are lucky to be using the language with the better title for this category. 
Iāve received two more Open House cards to report!
@carolreader sent me my very first Shakespearean postcard!! I was so excited to get this card! I absolutely adore Shakespeareās writings - my dog is even named Shakespeare 
There are still a handful of his plays I havenāt read, just because I like to really take my time and savor them (and Iām scared of getting to a point where there is no new Shakespeare for me to devour!).
@Yelena sent a very cute Peter Rabbit illustration set at a train station - I wish I could travel again! I just wonāt feel comfortable doing so until the COVID situation settles downā¦ cases are unfortunately ramping back up again in my area. 
For now I am just planning all the trips I will take someday in the futureā¦
Thank you both!
1158 from @clouisesz a Harry Potter card. No I have not read the Cursed Child, I should do that this winter along with the piles of other books I have picked out for my winter hobby.
1159 from @Shesa-Renegade a Alaska Sod-Roofed Cabin. Wow that is a really cool looking house. I bet everything they needed to build it was found there on the property. I would love to go to Iceland someday I have a cousin who plays in their orchestra.
1159 from @AccentOnHakes sends a card from the Art of Instruction box. I love this set but I just would love it more if I spoke french. Some of them i can figure out with the pictures but some I have no idea what I am supposed to be learning from the picture.
Thank you all for a great happy mail day.

@jocrafts ādomestiscally disabled,ā LOL! I am the opposite of you because dishes in the sink drive me crazy. Double sinks are okay because I can pile all the dirty dishes in one side. I like vacuuming too, but I dislike sweeping and cleaning bathrooms.
@Shesa-Renegade Lake Tahoe!!! Yes, Iāve been many times. Lovely all times of the year. 
Iāve received a few more Open House postcards:
@emilyann ā Great little chapel in the snow ā and what an appropriate quotation. Excellent addition to the postcard. Thanks 
@coleandjojo ā Fun and colorful fantasy woman ā thank you. Speaking of Christmas, I need to get going. I usually wait until the last minute, and that wonāt work this year.
@Blue_Fox - Creepy? I love creepy! 
This has got to be a favorite card for me. Thanks.
Iāll join 1160, double post if there is still the open spotā¦otherwise happy to be in the next double 
Group 1162 is in the mail 
1104: @dariasmith, thanks for the Nashville travel poster. I hope you found good stuff while thrifting!
1154: @KeithA, thank you for the great art card and kind note. I donāt know the significance of the ā42ā on that card I sent, but if you find it out, Iād be curious to know, too!
Hello Everyone! Another whirlwind of a week. Only 6 weeks left of this year. Hard to believe time just flies. BIG BIG thanks are due for the following wonderful people:
**Group 1149 (please close) **
Group 1154 (please close)
@KeithA / KDA Welcome back. Glad to hear from you and to know your doing doing ok with all this going on. #MaskUp. Hope to have you around in another group soon!
@jocrafts thanks for the great homemade envelope and cards. I loved the fun facts about the āBuffaloā nickel. Its one of my favorite coins so thank you for sending me one. I tried to see a date on here but its just too worn. It funny you should mention that it is actually a Bison. One of my other favorite US coins is the āMercuryā Dime which has a similar story. It got its name because people thought that image on the coin was that of the Roman god Mercury, which it is not. The artist whoās name I can recall right now said that the character is that of a āWingedā Lady Liberty.
@sleepykitty thanks for the plump rump! By the time you read this message only a couple more days and then you will have a bit of a break from your students for Thanksgiving!
@anon2074034 I found this card to be funny in an sad evil kind of way. At first I though it was going to be this nice card where everyone is welcome and then I got to the bottom and it said to exploit them how true and sad! Driving from Tenn to Florida just to take a stroll on the beach? I think I would have been upset!
