An improved strategy to send more seeds inside a greeting card with sheet foam protection involves multiple small seed packets laid out so that the card still lays flat, but it's a large greeting card, and its envelope bears a NON MACHINEABLE RATE stamp instead of a First Class stamp. It costs more but it's less than the cost of sending a bubble envelope.
That's USPS-speak for "HAND CANCEL" markings on an envelope but even that's not good enough to be sure they won't run it through the machinery, because they will "by accident"...and that's why the attached image looks the way it does.
It has Sharpie markings on both sides for the purpose of interfering with the bar code they put on it as the result of machining.
Notice also that I put the destination zip code where the return address should be (and type of seeds inside) so that the USPS has only one address possible. The idiots in my town have kicked back mail for no reason and with this method it always goes through and the seeds always arrive in good condition.

'Twas the night before Christmas
All the guests were quite hoochy

As it happens, I do the puzzles in the newspaper and when I don't have time on a given day, I save the paper for the purpose of doing the puzzles later.
In my stack of preserved papers, I've located a set going back to inauguration day of 2017--yep, when Trump was inaugurated...and the puzzles in the paper got interesting from a 2024 point of view.
And yes, I do Celebrity Cipher as well as Jumble, Sudoku and the crossword puzzle...
Well, Mastofolk, #Mastodon has an account with a #Diaspora server just to boost Mastodon info, and some Diaspora folk have meandered to Mastodon, and some of those folk stay stuck on Diaspora even so tho only lord knows why and he ain't tellin'.
So here's a screenshot of a Diaspora posting that lifted a Mastodon gem, with proper attribution, mind you. But a letter got lost in the translation, lol.

Israel's i24News reported today that the IDF indulged in a lot of navel gazing. The belly button or the orange?
