I'm just curious, but my question starts with a short eipsode I encountered today.

Since I live in the country, we have our mail delivered to a very small town Post Office close by. Our Post Office has 1. A Postmaster 2. Assistant to Postmaster and 3. The person who drives around and delivers mail. Yep only 3 employees.

Today I went in to pick up my mail and mail a package. There was a 30ish year old man that waited on me and since I'd never seen him before, I asked if he was new to our little part of the world. He said he would be helping out there for awhile. The Assistant heard my voice, as she "knows" everyone and introduced us. She then told me that the Postmaster (she is a very nice lady that worked just like a "counter" person behind the postal counter) had Retired as of yesterday. The Assistant said they didn't know she was retiring until yesterday and that was her last day.

Now I don't the Post Office procedures, but it seemed strange to me that no one at the Post Office there knew she was retiring. And the Assistant said she was very surprised. The last time someone retired from there, there was a Notice Posted on the Cork Bulletin Board and lots of people had left cards and "Thank Yous" and "Good Luck" etc.

I know I'm being nosy, but does that seen strange to anyone but me and dh?

Patient - or just too lazy to go out and buy the chemicals?

I'd say it was a little odd, but there could be several explanations. There might be an illness with her or someone close to her, she may have to become a full-time carer for someone, you know the stuff, something that made her bring forward her retirement. The staff might know but if it's a personal matter it might be easier just to say they don't. Maybe if you wanted to say goodbye properly you could give the new staff a card and ask them to pass it on to her.

Coke works! Big improvement after the first half litre, put some more down last night and this morning it runs freely!!! Could hardly believe it! Thanks Urgrace!

Given the amount of coke I drink this doesn't bode well for my stomach lining...

Yayyy Kitt! Yep, our stomach is a pretty tough organ and takes a lot of beating from the stuff we eat, but it also produces acid which takes care of most of it.

Hi Everyone! My oldest daughter who is 19 yrs old asked me if I would post a question here for her. She has a friend that is the same age and she is getting married in a few months. Next week is her Bridal Shower and my daughter wants to know:

What do you get someone for a Bridal Shower? Please help!

Thanks

Trousseau items, housewares, gift cards or money.

Trousseau (tr'oo so or troo so') a woman's possessions such as clothing, lingerie and linens that accompany her into marriage; conubial accoutrements; the chattel of a bride. The origin of Trousseau is taken from the French trousse, meaning a small bundle.

Housewares - anything that would go with the new brides home decor or useful properties such as bed linens, bath accessories, kitchen utensils, table linens, etc.

I have a question about Blockbuster. Have they done away with the doing away of late fees? I've been with Netflix for a while now, that Blockbuster has been totally out of the picture, so I don't really know the protocol anymore.

Reason I'm asking is that DH rented a Shoot 'em up killing Germans type game and he's really enjoying it, but he's nowhere being done with it and it's due tomorrow. He's going camping for the weekend, so he won't have a chance to play with it. He's bummed, as am I, because the darn thing cost $8 to rent, so if he could keep it for another week and not pay any late fees, it would be worth the 8 bucks. Anyone know?

from the Blockbuster.com website customer service FAQ's:

Movie and game rentals are still due back by the due date shown on your receipt.

If you still have a movie or game seven (7) days after the due date shown on your receipt, we will convert your rental to a sale. The movie or game will be sold to you at the selling price in effect at the time of rental, which is either the retail price, or, when available, at the previously-rented selling price. In participating stores only. Some franchise stores still have Late Fees.

Kiersten-love, you have to wake up the masses if you need votes! I'll post your request up in the RN thread and see if that helps.

Can you vote more than once?

In the top middle section, you can only place the 3 in the space vertically between the 2 and the 9.

Oh, I forgot to say how I did it, but I think you'll see it now. I almost gave up, then it jumped out at me.

I've never been stuck on a Sudoku as bad as this. I hope it's considered hard!

Julie, the 3 has to go where Mak said because the 5 and 6 only have 2 options and the 4 has to go in the right column, bottom square.
