Description:

From God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, youรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got about a hundred years here. Thereรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs only one rule that I know of, babies รขโ‚ฌโ€ รขโ‚ฌหœGod damn it, youรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got to be kind.รขโ‚ฌโ„ข รขโ‚ฌ?

So, follow Vonnegut's rule. Be kind. Send something small... a letter, an ATC, a smile wrapped in a envelope. Be kind.

This is an international swap.

Thank you, Mr Vonnegut. You will be missed.

It looks like you've already succeeded in being kind - just by creating this swap.

Great idea! I'm in!

EmilyBemily 04/13/2007 #

What a fitting tribute! So...clarification question...we can choose whatever we want to send that: is small and an illustration of kindness?

PostMuse 04/13/2007 #

Yes, small and represents a kindness. Interpretation is sender's.

BettyTurbo 04/13/2007 #

user3051 04/17/2007 #

ooh great idea -- the deadline is too soon for me i fear with a few others I am committed to -- but that quote has become my tagline on a board i am a memeber of

KV was very inspirational to me as a young writer & the world is a greyer place indeed with his passing

spread the kindness swappers!

Bonnie your ATC has left New Jersey.

PostMuse 04/28/2007 #

As of today there are 5 people who have not clicked the "I sent my items" link. It has only been two days since the send by date, so perhaps some haven't made it back to the site yet. I will be keeping an eye, or two, on the swap, but hope participants will contact their partners if the swap will be late for whatever reason.

alicepalace 04/28/2007 #
