The current state of the post office is a classic example of how you can't have your cake and eat it too in the obsession to privatize and deregulate essential services. If UPS had to satisfy all of Congress's constituencies, it wouldn't make a profit either.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

actually if the post office had not been milked with weird prepay requirements it would have had its first loss this year.

people should sent more notes. I am about to send thank you notes to a bunch of people involved with the event I did in November. Then I am going to try send my grandmother a note a month at least in 2012.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am very sad that my vanilla ice cream is finished. It was (and I quote) "ultra super premium". Also, on sale. Kinda velvety nice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I agree! I got an actual letter from my BFF last week, and it made my day. I'd almost forgotten how lovely her handwriting is.

so I have a whole list of "friends" on fb that are people I do not know at all and only play games with. they are blocked from seeing most things on my wall and profile. Now the wife of one of those people just sent me a friend request. I hope she also just plays the games and is not trying to go all PI on her husband. I emailed her the info on the games I play just as an FYI.
