Well, I called the post office and they simply said "We will talk to the person today and they will be more cognizant. These things happen and you should get your mail today or soon." WTF? When I mentioned Jim's meds they said "How do we even know his meds were in that day? You know these things happen." I said "The whole block?" and she said "Yeah." ARGHHHH

Sandy I know what you are going through.

We live in a newer area of town and didn't have a regular postman so we just got subs. Some days we did not get mail until after 6:00pm!!

We met our neighbors by delivering their mail to them including a SS check to the lady across the street.

When Bills VA meds got "lost" that was the last straw.

We got together and took turns calling the city postmaster to complain which did no good so we called the state. Now we have a regular postman and we are getting our meds and mail!

sorry about the mail/meds Sandy ... hope today it will all come together for you and Jim ...

Renee - I know the feeling of tossing and turning ... I had a stupid dream that I passed the gas station at $3.59 because I still had a 1/4 tank left - but when I came back thru... it was $7.14 a gallon!! good thing it was only a dream, right??

good news (I hope) ... the lady from the SSDI/SSI called this morning to say that she was able to get my papers submitted - that she was able to get the info on the Vocational Rehab person ... and she received my signed medical records release .. now to WAIT for the federal people!

I asked her if she had a nice time off and a nice weekend .. and she did - then she asked me if I had .. .and I chuckled and said that I spent some time with friends on saturday - but I just couldn't wait to get home to peace and quiet ... and calm down .. I said that it's hard to describe and write down on paper .. but that I spend time at home because I don't get stressed out - she said that she understands ....

the sun is shining here too .. and maybe for more than ONE day .. and into the 50-60s ... perfect for me ... I'm tempted to plant some flower seeds and summer bulbs (gladdy's) ...

have a great day .. I did find my painting 'business plan' that I wrote back in 2005 .. now to re-write it and drop it off at the new bank guy that asked me to!

Sandy, I hear you about the postal stuff. It gets frustrating. Hope this stuff gets straightened out for ya.

Sandy it does happen, with new persons working for PO, or on that route. former employee here, it does and if someone doesnt pay attention, they can do a whole street, yeah you can dress us up in a uniform but it dont mean diddly, morons do seem to run rampant, through out the postal service, ironically the higher on up the food chain you go the lower the IQ, that is required, so yes theoretically a new born baby could be the Post master general(hope they get it corrected and the meds show up for Jim)

sorry about sharon, chucky seems to be on a hiatus, going back to nero the nuero on weds, cause i cancelled cause of the flu last week, something has to give here.

hopefully everyone has a good day



did some yard work today and hurt lol yeah duh

Renee, Hun, hope you are feeling better. Prayers being sent.

Woke up a little later than usual, but so far so good. Coffee in hand and the sun is shining. knocking on wood that today will go well. Or at least better than yesterday.
