We were on vacation last week and I bought too many souvenirs for the grandkids. So, I decided it would be cheaper to mail the stuff to myself in one of those flat-rate boxes you get at the Post Office than to take it home on the plane.

I finally found a ride to the USPS and, because of the long line, I didn't buy the stamps I intended to. But I grabbed two of the boxes and walked out. I remember thinking, "Wow, these are bigger than I remember."

I ended up not using them (my suitcase expanded just enough to accommodate the stuff), and gave the largest to my friend who had purchased even more stuff than I!

It wasn't until I got home and picked up my mail at the local PO today that I realized the boxes I took were NOT the free flat-rate ones!!! The Postmistress said they actually cost about $10! She offered to let me pay so she could reimburse the PO for them.

But first I had to figure out exactly what PO I stole them from, lol! I returned home, used the computer to find out, and hurried back down there to give her the $10.

WHEW!!! Now I can quit looking over my shoulder!!!

I always knew you had a wild side, Twink!

Hey Twink, bring your laptop and post from the "big house"(jail).

was your photo hanging on the wall as a most wanted photo?

No, but I think the video might have aired on the 5 o'clock news, lol!

I'm on house arrest -- ran up my credit card on vacay and can't afford to leave home with or without it, lol!

"picked up my mail at the local PO today " that wouldn`t be probation officer?

No no, this is the beginning and the end of my life of crime, lol!

Twink,
My probation officer said stay away from people like you. Sorry. Buh-bye.

you are now on a "list." Grocery stores in your area keep surveillance tapes of your shopping habits to make sure it does not extend to eating a loose grape to test if they are fresh and sweet enough to buy.
