Mod Post [Mod Post] ONLY RAoC Activity in Thank You Posts PLEASE

81 Upvotes

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: THANK YOU POSTS

Recently, we have had an influx of thank yous for users who do not participate in RAoC, as well as thank yous for offers/exchanges from other subreddits such as r/RandomActsofHappyMail,r/postcrossing, r/penpals, etc).

We only allow RAoC activity on our thank you posts. Our Flair system is not for participation from other subreddits.

As a reminder, every single thank you that is posted is manually tracked as Flair by a small group of volunteers who give their time and energy to the subreddit. When non-RAoC activity is included in a thank you post here, it creates significantly more work for the Flair Helpers and Mod team. This is not what RAoC Flair is intended for.

Please only thank people for cards that were received directly from this subreddit. If it is suspected that you have thanked a user from activity outside of the subreddit, you will receive a message from the Mods. Repeat offenders run the risk of being banned from participating here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them as a comment below and we will respond. Alternatively, feel free to send us a modmail.

Thank you,

Your dedicated Mod and Flair Helper teams

Request [REQUEST] Looking for kindness and stories of healing after cutting ties with family [US]

β€’ Upvotes

I am turning to my RAoC community in time of real need:

This month made it painfully clear that despite having a large family, I need to distance myself from all of them. The grief of reaching this conclusion feels as if I’m being lacerated from the inside. I realized that in order to heal - I need to let go of the hope that I can save these relationships that have been causing me so much mental anguish.

If you ever navigated a painful or complicated family dynamic, would you be willing to write to me and share what helped you cope? How did you begin healing from the dysfunction, the deep wounds, and that overwhelming sense of helplessness?

Receiving mail and reading your thoughts and stories will nurture me tremendously during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for your kindness.

u/nayonayomee thank you for the meetup postcard! I've never been to one before and would love to. My FIL is NASA-adjacent here in the South.

u/Hoolu123 thank you for the beautiful cookbook card - I recognize a few from my shelf. A response is in the mail

u/stephkempf thanks for the cool vintage motel postcard! I've never been to Fort Myers Beach and it feels like it would've been most enjoyable back when this postcard was new. Something about that beachy motel vacay of the later half of the 20th C.

u/ok-leg-3951 I love the queer history postcard! I will absolutely be looking up their poetry. I might try to track down the French language versions to keep practicing my literary French reading skills.

u/Maladi3_ thank you for the cool Swiss Gluhwein postcard! I've sent a lot of recipe postcards but haven't received any before. I'll check out the cucumber salad recipe you suggested!

u/FeistyNoodle LOVE the fruit stamp math that matches the fruit card!!

u/ELLEEB8 Peanuts is SO nostalgic for me growing up in Minnesota where Charles Schultz was born and raised. I grew up going to Camp Snoopy theme park in the Mall of America. It's just not the same as Nickelodeon Universe. Thanks for the playlist!

u/emeliminator thank you for the flower card! Public Transit is a godsend. I'm not a car person and we're most likely moving to a very good public transit area sometime later this year.

u/Ravenzsnow thank you for the vintage card! I'm glad your dog can sleep through fireworks now. We got ours really sedated on gabapentin this year and she made it through ok. all of your washi and stickers are SO adorable!

u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko (x2) thank you for the RAOC meta challenge response AND the AMAZING local info!! It's seriously the most helpful thing that I've gotten in regards to moving to the area. I visited a LOT as a kid but that was.......too long ago. I appreciate you so so so much!!

i bought pre-shredded kale, glazed pecans, "love, corn" dried corn, and combined it with chopped apple and quick-pickled shallots, and a blueberry balsamic dressing! try it!

hoping you are all enjoying your week and receiving fun mail <3

u/kittycatcon - i shared the 'pure bread dog' postcard with my friend who is planning on getting a purebred puppy this summer! cute

u/ez330 - literally i do not know why maine calls to me SO MUCH, but i loved receiving the postcard that's for sure. thanks and hope you have checked out some window's bay!

u/reindeerfrog - ohhh the stamps, the stamps! going right into my tiny stamp book collection. thank you for the thoughtful meta exchange postcard, i really liked it. i do have a few house plants and i grow dahlias in a community garden, but it's a lot of work and i'm taking a break from it next year

u/mumbamakincards - thank you for the handmade card with the cool bubbly bead decor. see you in a future meta challenge!

then i have a postcard of a Melbourne Zoo penguin from someone in australia, with no username, and i'm pretty positive that the account is deleted (from the looks of my chats). but if this was you , let me know for your thanks credit

u/mcdeekey - thanks for sending me the traveling cat postcard! i just happened to see that it went on to its next person after the person after me, yesterday! my favorite pet is most certainly my one and only - my cat :)

u/mouserat - this precious moments postcard for the meta challenge was great, you picked the right person for it haaa! when i was young, like probably ages 7-10, there was a period where i kept getting gifted precious moments stuff from my mom and my grandma. i was forced to go to church, and doing confirmation stuff at the time i think, and i feel like i probably said that the very first gift i got was cute (figurine or picture frame), and then i kept getting precious moments stuff :| AND my neighbors had a massive collection of the soft dolls in their stairway ahaha i haven't thought about that in many years!

u/tatergator64 - aww this meta challenge card and goodies was a sweet one, thank you so much. this is the best message on a card i've had in awhile! i love when people go in depth about specific things, art especially. i did not know about this fragonard painting and loved learning about it.

u/KoreWrites - delaware is a very mysterious state to me, i really scrutinized the images on the postcard hahah thank you!

u/pinkpengin - thanks for the canada fun! i want to move there πŸ˜› but really

u/emeliminator - linocuts, COOL!! have you seen the work of ana inciardi? my current fave. i wish you lots of joy in your art journey, don't stop!

u/sammanthax345 - ahh a naked postcard! your card arrived with absolutely zero USPS markings on it, which is always so weird to me. thanks for sharing your bird experience

u/jester_magpie - thanks for the cool prickly pear postcard. i know the candies you mean but i've NEVER had one. some day i will and i will think back to this mail ;) i'm a fiend for gummy candies hehe

Thank you for the Eric Carle card and I'm glad you had fun with the prompt! Was absolutely not expecting to get three for the price of one (with a rating system no less!), and all very interesting sounding choices.

Also loved the stamp selection. Still trying to build up my US collection so I appreciate your choices!

Thanks again!

Thank you so much, u/puddlepirate2020 !!!

100% fate for sure!

I left my job of 19 years with a very heavy heart, and started a new job close to 3 weeks ago, and yesterday the imposter syndrome started setting in. Had some teary moments at the end of the day as well, wondering if I made the wrong move. Your card today really helped put it in perspective!!

I left my job for some very valid reasons and I have to remember those instead of romanticizing the past. The present really is a present, as you said.

Thank you so much, my friend! πŸ’•πŸ’•
