Squishies are amazing.

I got one in the mail this morning. It is a divine shade of lime green! All
bright and happy and oh the perfect timing! I needed that smile so much. My
day is now starting off on a wonderful happy note.

I feel much better now, ranted and squished. What more can a woman need?

Thank you so much squishy sender. You are a dear!

Hi Jerry. A squishie is a little (usually unexpected) "something" that
comes in the mail, so named because it's soft and -- well, there's no
other word for it -- squishy! LOL! It's usually fabric -- maybe just a
little square, maybe a FQ, maybe something else.

We have to let off steam, so we rant and rave, otherwise known as
getting on a soap box, blowing off steam, exploding, etc. I don't know
about getting ranted -- I suspect that's a new one that you've just made

a squishy is a soft envelope usually filled with fabric, a fibre card and
sometimes also with more fun things too :-) *very* occasionally it might be
a quilt

ranting gets done by writing a post to the group that is a rant
so you get ranted at when someone rants to you

Smile!
A squishy is a surprise envelope that feel 'squishy' to touch and is,
therefore, probably filled with fabric or pieces of fabric .... They can
be anonymous or the sender lets the recipient know who its from.

A 'rant' is letting off steam (like KK's very justified first post in
this thread).

The amazing thing about squishies is that they very often - more often
than can be explained by mere coincidence - arrive on a day when someone
really needs a boost for one reason or another.
