I know.....this is the box that the postmaster told me was hung up because of the weather out east, because it was going to Virginia....and then I calmly asked how east coast conditions affected a short trip to Elk Grove Village....he persisted with the same reply junk....and then I kinda lost it on him..... ;D......freak'n idiot....even my carrier said he's stupid....oy vey....

One of my two boxes made it to Ellisville shortly after noon.  It took 2 days rather than 3 as expected.  The lovely ladies at the post office called me at work to let me know that it was in.  Fish are in their tank now and swimming happily :)
Always move forward. Never look back.

Yes is was good news to me....I worry about my little folks when they go a traveling.

All said, we gripe about the PO...but with the volume that they handle it amazes me that it works as well as it always does.....you don't here about all the successful shipments, just the ones that go wrong....dollar/pound....it's still the best value for the buck....

by the by, I took our local counter guy, Joe, a bag of the Jap blues, and a couple snots for his tank yesterday.....gratis.....he was tickled pink, and started showing them to the ladies next in line, then his coworkers as the passed through for a sec.....made me almost smile bigger than his smile.....almost... ;D
