5. And Tuesday is junkmail day

If I was a letter carrier, I would call in sick on Wednesday.

Tell 'em I had Ebola or something.

6. Personally .. I don't look for mail

It is good news sometimes. But most of the time, nah.

Have you ever heard of post offices being closed when an ex-president gets burried. Isn't that rather strange?

Glad I mailed my rent check early. Landlord is going to be chomping at the bit to get his mail, tho.

9. I'm pretty sure they shut down for Reagan's funeral too n/t

[snowbear]

11. Probably.. I suppose it just seems long following a Sunday & a holiday..

But hey, ~~ we'll survive!

[sandnsea]

7. Or money to buy food

I imagine some folks are waiting for paychecks, assistance, and food stamps. I don't think Gerald Ford would want one group of people to go hungry so another group of people could have a paid holiday. I'm sure that thought never floated near any of the Bush Beautiful Minds.

8. we get TONS of junk mail--afraid our carrier would cut us off and make

us go to the post office to pick the crap up.

it's amazing how fast these mailing lists get sold and passed around!

i have a stack on the floor i go through once every week or two.

10. I'm sorry cancelling the mail for the Ford funeral is trite...

I want my Dodger hat and a Xmas card is still out!

;-)

[snowbear]

12. Wow.. you've already mailed your cards?

I still need to mail half of them...

[XOKCowboy]

13. Oh crap! Well one less TTD tomorrow..

I had my mail held while I was back home for Christmas. Oh well. RIP Gerry.

[unsavedtrash]

14. I am waiting for my university refund check

damn it!:mad:

[Hieronymus]

15. I rarely use the US Postal Service anymore....

so inefficient.
