What a way to rub my nose in it. As for your packages...UGH! Part of our business is online auction and therefore ship frequently. My husband has taken to calling the mail services the "Postal Guerrillas". It doesn't matter if it is marked "fragile" it still gets tossed into the bins and trucks. Hope all your goodies arrived safely despite the box blow out.Denise J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57042813874761683212012-03-01T10:07:19.008-05:002012-03-01T10:07:19.008-05:00This made me laugh -- well the part about AARP.

(well with his name and address, not yours -- said with tongue in cheek and a loving smirk on the face). I laughed till I had tears streaming down.<br /><br />By the way, YOU ROCK!

We stayed at a hotel earlier this month, and they asked if I had AAA or AARP. I told them, not yet, but hubby would be eligible soon. The nice lady went ahead and gave me that rate. Woohoo! AARP card is the one thing I'm looking forward to on my next birthday. Too bad it doesn't work at fabric stores.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56218952065279361052012-02-29T21:55:48.007-05:002012-02-29T21:55:48.007-05:00I've seen that AARP envelope in my mail, too!

Just a small hint, though: if you don't want anyone to know your address, cover up that ZIP + 4. I googled it and came up with your address, phone no., and map directions (and photos) to your house!

Today hasn't been a great one for a lot of things. Tornadoes. Davy died, Boxes came home damaged, Oh MY. At my house my sewing machine light burned out. I had to get all dressed and go get a new one. I was doing great stitching along on my UFO of the month waiting to hear from the Dealer of my New Machine to call. And he still hasn't called :( There's a cable I need to use the machine that doesn't come with it...Guess Leap Day can be over NOW for both of us.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.com
