  • Where to start?
    It seems like, you might have more luck with books than with trying to piece things together from bits and pieces on websites - I possibly don't know any books about Sumerian mythology, sorry, but searching your local library or alibris.com (because Amazon are crooks) might get you something that'll give you a general idea of what archaeologists know about Sumer and its mythology, and give you somewhere to start...

  • Selling physical books
    I buy used books at alibris.com, but, apparently, they work with sellers (20 USD per annum). I takes an investigation to check out those. Source: 12 months ago
  • Wholesome parenting and sibling teamwork
    Highly recommend checking out alibris.com as well. Source: 12 months ago
  • How did you build your FatFire Book Collection?
    I collect first edition / first printings of rare science fiction from the 60s/70s/80s. I've found abebooks.com and alibris.com to both be excellent when trying to find obscure pieces. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Books about Medieval Travelling

  • I can only recognise them by the accent.
    In terms of handwriting Eastern Europeans tend to have a very close and slanted handwriting that slants to the right with very hard strokes from top to bottom. Germans for example, in my opinion from years of exchanging postcards with strangers thru the site postcrossing.com have a very angry handwriting; it's like you can feel they're yelling at you just by their hand writing.

  • Postage required on mail-in ballots
    Join Postcrossing! I had a silly number of postcards collected over the years and a book of stamps specifically from voting last time. Super fun little hobby and a good way to use them up! Source: over 1 year ago
  • I've decided I need to do a no-buy
    You might find it helpful to take a look at r/RandomActsofCards, r/penpals, r/penpalsover30, r/fountainpenpals, or Postcrossing. Random Acts of Cards, in particular, is a really lovely supportive community, but be warned that, while it’s certainly possible to keep expenses very low, it’s also fairly easy to fall into wanting a mountain of stationery yourself so it’s best to be aware of and set limits if you decide...
