One more tip for those sending cards overseas.
When at the post office - insist/request (or bribe) the person putting the stamps on the cards to use actual stamps - and not a cancelled sticker. Stamps from foreign/distant countries are really cool, and folks still like to see them - as opposed to a sticker.
Are we having fun yet?

I have a list of all the names and addresses saved so if I haven't gotten it to you yet let me know, and I can easily send another if it makes it easier to get them all at once.
Thanks Jim_tex I have my address on most of the lists I didn't at first so thanks for mentioning it.

Jim TXGood advice
And yes I am having a blast
One thing that I appreciate about the main person I deal with at the post office here he is also good to stamp/cancel the stamp from the town I live in otherwise it would be stamped in a metro area a long ways from where I live.

Well, crap, I didn't know you could do that. I'm sorry, out of country folks, I'm pretty sure the lady put a sticker on them. I'll have to remember that for next year.

I have been hesitant to put my name down for this list because I was afraid seeing so many people (translated as extra stamps to buy) would make my hubby balk if I mentioned it.....but I would SO like to be included. Seeing as how even HE got a kick out of seeing all those get well cards sent to me from all over the globe---it may have softened the Grinch aspect a bit. (I'm HOPING anyway, LOL!)
So count me in, I will go ahead with the plan.....and NOW I would like to know:
What is the cost of postage from the USA to Canada,
from the USA to the UK,
and from the USA to Australia and New Zealand.
I tried to read the online postal site last year and couldn't make heads or tails out of it. I need down-to-earth answers and NO scales and graphs to figure out for ME to understand it!

Good Morning Annie Hope today is being extra good to you I have a confession to make are you taking confessions this morning? I asked everyone to please include you anyway on their christmas card list I figured since we had your address for get well/be better/strength to you cards it would be nice to just add you to our christmas card list too.
Anyway, hehe. It is 80 to 90 cents to Canada and the UK, in that order, I am on my way to the post office now to send my out of country cards I'll have a better idea when I get back, I'll let you know a little better idea then.
