Response: Thanks, choci -- I should've mentioned: The one on red paper is the one I did for the October swap. The extra one was one I did for the predecessor swap in September.
-- reds
Response: I DID note that you like Polaroids -- and so do I, so, yeah, I sent it to someone I thought might appreciate it. I'll send a couple of other mini-'zines I've done yr way -- hopefully within the week.

Response: Thank you for the rating (and the heart), Knitsicle. I look forward to hearing from you. -- reds
Response: Hahaha! Michelle is probably both more and less annoying in person than she is as portrayed in my letter. She is more annoying in her whininess, which doesn't come through in writing, and although it's not her "fault," really, it was always disconcerting to me that she was a valued employee despite a lotta unprofessional, silly behavior. She is possibly less annoying than my letter gets across in that she is "nice" and "friendly" -- but just not in a way that I value. Many thanks, Jesshens. -- reds
Response: Wow, meeko, I'm blushin'. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing one of yours in a 'zine swap down the road. -- reds

Response: Many thanks, jennyferds20.

Response: Hahaha! Maybe we are! Many thanks for the rating and for the heart, DangerousMoustache! Now I'm going to check your profile to see whether you've got photos of yourself. :) -- reds
Response: Many thanks. I'm glad it's made it to Brazil as quickly as it has. Thanks for the rating and for the heart. -- reds
Response: Many thanks, plaiddress -- and you're welcome.
-- reds
Response: Sometimes I wonder whether I am OVERfilling the pages with an amount of writing that overwhelms the person who's on the receiving end of a journal I've made. Glad to know that you're pleased that the pages were filled.
Response: Many thanks -- and apologies for communication lapses on this.
Response: Glad it's reached you and that you're liking it. And many thanks for wishing me good luck on the job front.

-- Reds
Response: In first grade, I was jealous of a classmate's penmanship that the teacher said was so good that he didn't have to do handwriting lessons at all, and got to draw and read and stuff while the rest of us were forming letters.
If I'm lucky (and optimistic) I figure the job situation can only improve from here.
Response: Thanks for receiving. ;]
Response: Hahaha! Many thanks, wackystuff.
-- reds
Response: Thanks, nicesnow.
-- reds
Response: Beautiful penmanship? Thanks. Eventually -- soon, I hope -- I'll leave these co-workers behind. Thanks for letting me "SCREAM" about them and other stuff.
-- Reds
Response: Muchas gracias.
-- Reds
Response: They came from a place named Chocolate Moose, down the street from where I work. Glad you (and your mom) liked them.
You're welcome.
-- Reds
Response: And you did! Many thanks -- and now I'll write back before the week's over.
-- Reds
Response: Many thanks. I had fun doing the coloring -- and the envelope.
-- Reds
Response: Thank YOU, misumisu22 -- and you're most welcome.
Response: Thank you, baerli!
Response: I DO remember the "forced march" of the prostitutes into Virginia! And one of the memories I did not include is another one that is D.C.-specific, though the rest of the country became aware of it -- the night that Mayor Barry was captured on videotape in the Vista Hotel on M Street, smoking crack and failing to "get lucky" with a female friend who was complying with the FBI in their sting operation. Yes, I went to the 9:30 Club to see bands. It still exists in name, but is now at 8:15 V Street, NW (a much larger space, but less "funky," and with a substantially smaller population of rats in the adjacent alley. I believe Commander Salamander is still in Georgetown, but cannot swear to that being the case. I seldom bought anything there, but used to help myself to the free promotional buttons that they kept in a candy jar on the counter near the front of the store.
Many thanks for the rating, the heart and (especially) your comments.
-- Reds
Response: You're welcome. And thank you for the rating.
Response: Thanks for the kind words, libraryshark! I hope it lives up to your initial impressions.
Response: You're welcome. I hope you like 'em, as I chose not-super-common brands.
Response: Glad you liked the envelope and the note! And yeah, go 'head and give Sharpies a try if you're motivated to.
-- Reds
Response: Yay! So glad you liked it -- and don't fret about not posting a photo of it.. It's more than understandable (for the reasons you cite) that you wouldn't want to make that info. available for all to see.
Response: You're welcome. It was fun to design and make. -- Reds.
Response: You're most welcome. She was a lotta fun to make. (Does she have a name?)
Response: So glad you liked her. She was a blast to make (and I also love the hand earrings -- and the ex voto jewelry in general.)
Response: Aw, I'm blushing. Many, many thanks.
Response: Yay! Glad you liked the postcard.
Response: Many thanks! Glad you like it (the card/Hokusai's art, I mean).
Response: You're welcome. Glad it reached you (already!).
Response: Thanks, Badwolf! I figured lip balm's useful in yr neck o' the woods at this time of year, and I like the pomegranate and hoped you would, too.
Response: Many thanks, ukstash, I'm glad the oriole reached you as quickly as he did.
Response: Glad you liked the letter. I enjoyed writing it, and that you liked the pink & brown. Most of the transcripts I do are legal or related to legal issues like misallocation of government funds, employment discrimination, that kind of thing -- not court transcripts per se, really, but investigations that may turn into lawsuits.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for having hosted it, too.
Response: That's a high compliment. Many thanks -- and you're most welcome.
Response: You're most welcome -- and I'm glad you liked the card.
-- Reds
Response: Ha! Thanks. I guess if there are more people at the party than mints in the box, you can refill with Altoids or Tic-Tacs or the minty candy of your choice...
Response: Yay! I'm SO glad they reached you and that you liked them.
Response: You're most welcome, han -- and thank you, too (for the rating). -- Reds
Response: Hi, Lorraine. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the letter. I enjoyed writing it. If you want to write back, feel free!
-- Reds
Response: I enjoyed writing them, spinweaver. I was initially concerned that I'd run out of things to say, but I should know that I tend not to have a problem in that area -- for better or for worse.
-- Reds
Response: The variation among the transcription work I've done -- hearings, government investigations, criminal interrogations and more -- has indeed provided me with a broad view of how various "worlds" work. -- Reds.
Response: Glad you liked the photo side o' the card -- and the flip side, too. And thanks for complimenting my handwriting. Sometimes I think it's style-free 'cause I think it looks like the handwriting samples on the walls in kindergarten/first-grade classrooms everywhere.
Response: It reached Australia faster than I'd've guessed. Glad you liked it.
Response: You're most welcome, and I'm glad you like the photo subjects. The pen I used was a Uniball micro -- the smallest tip they've got (at least to my knowledge).
Response: You're welcome -- and thanks for your welcome to swap-bot. In sending the bars, I stayed away from sending stuff I know is ubiquitous here, and I'd imagine in most parts of Canada. Ghiradelli chocolate, when I visited San Francisco some years ago, was new to me at the time, but is much more widely distributed now than it was at the time, and it's certainly (still) less often seen than are Hershey and Mars brand chocolates.
The roseberry bar, I thought was potentially interesting, but after I bought it I noted that it came from the U.S. state of Washington or Oregon and thought it might be much better known in western Canada than it is on the east coast of the U.S.
-- Reds
Response: Aw, you're welcome. The note -- I'm glad I included it. I neglected to have included one in the package I sent to my other partner for this swap. D'oh!
I like that giraffe card, too. The company that makes 'em has a lot of animal cards I like -- and I'm kinda particular when it comes to which animal-related stuff I like.
Response: It traveled surprisingly fast, too, but I take no credit for that.
Glad you liked it. It was my first.
