got the Dkult newletter from Borderline!! it looks amazing. So glad to know the Dkult press is still operating since we stopped paying the lease

I like "samtimes"  great word in Marthian, the clearly superior language now adopted as the international language of business.

Jim Leftwich and I are finally putting the Trashpo Bible on the stone tablet. We need you disciples to please have visions and write the inspired words of your Trashpo Jesus! I have divided it up based on the actual books of the Bible, only altered.  I'm still figuring out the best way to do this, but as with all things, DKult and Trashpo are a unified team effort!!  lmk if you want to contribute. currently seeking inspired writer for The Book of Malice and Cheese, The Haggard, and The Book of the Zebra Pharoh

OOOOOOOH! You've invented a new text mangler! HOO-RAW! May even slop over into asemia as if one used a tibetan smell-checquer, I'll bet the results [if printed in tibetan script] would a seem to me!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 18, 2016 at 7:02pm

DKult thank you for thanking me for hsving fun maiking a font. I like to point out that  the anme of the font is Dizia,  chosen by Tigerlily and it is a great and original name. 

I am having fun in FB but two things first it ahs so mny languages bu tno Marthian. I have chosen English Pirate.

Second it is a huge waste of time when I should be answering my Mailart! 

Ni loor ar tris! I hao disconvenir a lay to gen te competer to rite poetar bey chiringuito te capellina to hermano angula. I usan Hispaniza

That says: Hi look at this! I have discovered a way to get the computer to write poetry by spell checking in another language, I used Spanish.

Comment by DKeys on August 18, 2016 at 2:52pm

thank you MAM!  Martha created a font from my daughter's (dyslexic) handwriting. Such an amazing things to do.  I did get your email but haven't opened the Dandelion doc!!!!!

xoxoxoxo

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 17, 2016 at 6:11pm

I am so happy you surfaced here Diane. I tried to send you by email ( I do not seem to have your email now) an autographed copy of Dandelions, yes, dedicated to you and signed by me with my own electronic hand, which of course is going to be so valuable when I kick the bucket, which might happen any time as soon as all those mail artists to whom I owe catch up with me not to mention the problem we have here in the Queendom with General Carl Marth who insists a Republic will be a better option and is advocating Rexit ( the exit from Retailia).

That is if Windows 10 does not frazzle my brain first.

This takes me to Fikus' comment. Thank you for the tip about Calibre. I shall pass it on. I hope you enjoy the dribble. I enjoyed so much writing it that I have started another.So thanks for the effort you have made to open the thing. I would particularly appreciate it if you can tell me one thing. Is Dandelions a romantic story for women only? The main theme is not the romance bit but may be that took over.

And back to you Diane. Here is Dizia  DIZIH___.TTF 

I miss you too and hope you are well and so too all your family.
From Retailia with love

MAM!!!!!  it might get tiring but I MISS YOU!!  You are and will always be a trashpo ancestor. You will probably get sainted soon. We just need to get more mud for the statues.  Can you please send me or guide me to the wonderful Disea font you made For Tigerlilly? don't have it since my computer got dead. I remembered because I received mail with your Mail Art Trash Sniffing Dog on it written with her handwriting!!  love u
