Sharrena: What is a used bus ticket? I'm not sure what a U.S. equivalent would be.

bettysoo 07/ 9/2008 #

Hi Artistic, emm the only way i can describe it is when you pay your fare on a Bus you get a ticket ,but if you want you can send a used train ticket ,if that helps . and if any one else want to send a train ticket instead of a bus ticket that fine by me ... :o)

SaraLouise1981 07/11/2008 #

i get the bus every day to work, so im happy to send one with this swap,

5trawberry 07/11/2008 #

What about our city's local free paper? I, personally, find those more interesting/entertaining.

bettysoo 07/12/2008 #

5trawberry that will be fine, also if anyone is having trouble getting a bus or train ticket, you could send a theatre or cinema ticket instead ... :)

papersky 07/16/2008 #

^ I was going to ask about that, because my town doesn't have public transportation since it's small. Could we use any type of ticket from a local event/theater/business? And about the newspaper...could we send a select few sections of the paper instead of the whole thing? I'm thinking that would bulk up the envelope quite a bit.

papersky 07/16/2008 #

I forgot to add that this is a fantastic idea. =D

sportzmedchick 07/17/2008 #

This is super cool!! I am so in :o)

bettysmama 07/17/2008 #

My town is so small we don't have a bus,train or theater, but would like to do this swap.

bettysoo 07/18/2008 #

Hi Papersky Yes that would be fine about sending any type of ticket , and you don't have to send all the news paper, As it can be quite bulky , but please choose some local news items on it, as this is the main part of the swap... i'm sooo glad that you like the swap idea :o) Sharrena

bettysoo 07/18/2008 #

Thanx sportzmedchick, glad you joined ... :o)

bettysoo 07/18/2008 #

Hi bettysmama, if you want you can always send a shop receipt in instead of a ticket , ... :o) And if anyone else is having trouble finding a used bus/train /theater ticket you can always send in a shop receipt instead hope this helps ... Sharrena :o)

PATHACKER 07/19/2008 #

We don't have buses or trains that run thru our town. What could I replace it with? Maybe a county fair book? I don't know. lol. anyway I would love to join this one. thanks

bettysoo 07/19/2008 #

Hi Pathacker, you could always use a cinema ticket , or maybe a store receipt for something you bought recently , hope this helps... Sharrena

PATHACKER 07/20/2008 #

Ok that I can do. Can I be added?

bettysoo 07/21/2008 #

Yes of coarse you can ... :o)

marlz 07/23/2008 #

AH! if only the swap date for this wasn't so near! :( i'll be out of town! but otherwise this is a really neat swap! :D i'll definitely join the next time!

papersky 07/24/2008 #

Is there any way the sending date can be extended? I'd really like to participate, but it doesn't leave me much time to gather things up on top of work, ect.

Rollerwriter 07/24/2008 #

I love this idea- but am leaving on vacation in a few hours. Next time.

CreatedByWendy 07/24/2008 #

My first swap on this board, I hope that I make the person I'm trading with happy. When do we find out who our swap partner is? I've already started collecting things.

Minus 07/25/2008 #

I'm so excited, this is going to be my first swap!

I've already got some really nice ideas for what I'm going to send.

I live in NYC so I'm sure I can find many interesting things to send to my partner. :)

stacia318 07/27/2008 #

This sounds like a very fun swap. I will probably use a ticket stub from one of our sporting event. We have nearly every major sport here in the Phoenix area.

craftybeachgirl 07/27/2008 #

I would like to join but I live in a beach town and we dont have metro, bus, train anything like that. If you dont hae an auto, motorcycle or boat you will get no where with out wlking...

sgirl58 07/28/2008 #

Hi, I am a newbie and I signed up for this swap. How cool to get things from someone anywhere in the world! I too don't have a bus/trains in my small town so I will send something else fun in it's place. Looking forward to this! Cathie (sgirl58)

marlz 07/28/2008 #

hi! i'm back! and i'll definitely be joining in! whoo! :D

marlz 07/28/2008 #

is it ok if i gave something else instead of a menu? i don't usually go to restaurants and they hardly have take-away menus here.

bettysoo 07/28/2008 #

Hi Marlz, I think this would be ok , but try and have something to do with food on it , if thats ok ... :o)

marlz 07/28/2008 #

sure thing! i'll try to see what i can get! i won't dissapoint! i promise! :)

SEMOkraftee 07/28/2008 #

Can't help but laugh when reading the requirements. I live in a town with a population of 1800. No bus/train and certainly no postcards featuring my hometown. But it sure wouldn't cost much to send the newspaper and I wouldn't even have to take the ads out. LOL

Welp, guess I'm outta this one. :)

Josietai 07/28/2008 #

Sorry, I got to drop out from this fabulous swap. I'm pretty tied with some private swaps now. Good luck to all!
