No, you just post half-truths, links which you don't bother to verify and "news" from questionable sources.

And for a brief time, the state Capitol was Zanesville, not Columbus.
Catatonic
Nine Lives
Which is why for many years so much of UPS Senior Leaders came from or through OHIO ... especially the sales force.

To me, there are 3 kinds of people....
Those who don't have their act together
Those who do have their act together,
And those headed in the direction of one of those first two.
I always thought Trace Adkins had his act together. Maybe he does and is handling things in a timely manner. I wish him good luck .He does such good work representing the Red Cross and Wounded Warriors.

A friend of mine is in the Peace Corp. in Moldava. It's near the Carpathian Mountains.
I wanted to send a 'care package' and use a list she provided.
I checked with UPS and 15 lb. box to Moldava was $459.00 !!
Now I know why no one has sent her anything yet.
Some of her list is canned stuff....that's the heavy stuff. It's just home stuff that's not available there......so money and gift cards are out too.
Looks like she will only be getting greeting cards from me.

Try Parcel Post----it is by far the cheapest for overseas shipments.

Buy some "forever stamps" now !!
US Postage increase
US Postage increase
-
U.S. Postal Service
- NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
If you have something to mail, you may want to drop it in the closest mailbox Saturday night.
Yes, the price of a first-class postage stamp is going up.... again.
Starting Sunday, it will cost 49 cents to mail a letter, instead of 46 cents.
The increase is part of a 6-percent 'across-the-board' hike by the post office.
If you use a lot of stamps, you can savesome money by stocking up on ‘forever’ stamps , they are always good, no matter what price you paid for them.

Going through my mail after returning from a few days away, I was thrilled that I got my driver's license renewal in the mail and it said I could renew by mail or online.
Anything to avoid having to go to the DMV....hate it!!
Tried the online route.....reading all the directions and not scanning. It asked me to pick a security question. I did. It asked me to type in the correct answer to that security question. I did.
When I got to the part that says "renew", I clicked on it and the screen said I had given an incorrect answer to my security question. It's my question........I should know the answer.....HELLO !!!
I tried couple of times. Then I said the 'friend' word about a hundred times and then I got out my stamps and mailed that sucker in !!! So much for the ease of technology!!
