I always wrap everything in a brown grocery bag so they can't see what kind
of box I use.

normally, I use groc bags, too but I've been trying to cut down on the
weight of the pkgs to keep the postage costs down a bit ...

I just don't understand the logic behind how a flimsy envelope is acceptable
in the po eyes while a sturdy/taped cardboard box isn't??? huh???

Pris ~> who'z always wondering 'bout th(a)ngs ...

Pris, you have been out in the sun or rain too long. Go in, make some tea
and sit down, close your eyes and relax. You are obviously over exerting
yourself. Logic and post office in the same sentence are not compatible!!!
That is like honest and politician! Like saying cod liver oil and good
tasting. Kids and clean. Real descriptions and real estate ads.

Trying to understand how the post service works will cause extreme
migraines. Take two aspirin and e-mail us in the morning <<<BEWG>>>
