Criminy sakes that's ridiculous isn't it? I have sent coins, gum, the like my whole life in envelopes with no problem. I wonder what was up with them this time? Ya just never know with the usps. I'll never forget once X-mas... two days before.... when our gas was cut off. In fact, it was cut off to the entire complex do to a slight mistake on the addies from the gas company. The problem? They never mailed them back to the source, nor did they send them on. They held them there for weeks wrapped in a rubber band, then called our apart manager asking her if she wanted to come get them (they thought they were being helpful?). We owed two hundred dollars in reconnect fee 2 days before xmas with two babys in the cold. If the post office had returned the mail to the source, or had sent it on to the complex (or called the manager) when it happened, we would have had a cushion of time to pay before we were all cut off, ya know? Asinine. In any case, I just wanted to say so sorry Diane... and thanks for the penny you sent me. It sits by me each day here and its adorable. :D Wolfy Please visit: http://www.geocities.com/wolfysluv/ for information on ferret deafness: http://www.geocities.com/wolfysluv/deaf.html [Posted in FML issue 3875]
