Since the very first issue, I have had a subscription to People Magazine. During years when I was poor, I shared a subscription with friends. In the last couple of years, I've gotten it on my Kindle Fire tablet - a nice implementation. But, no more. My People, my TV Guide and my Entertainment Weekly subscriptions (all lately e-subscriptions) expired at the same time and I'm not going to renew any of them. I'm done.

I have shorn up my rss lists instead. Way cheaper. As in free. Plus, dealing with magazine subscriptions these days is just too weird and annoying. So done.

Last week, I walked out the front door with the Land's End swimsuits boxed up to take the prepaid postage box to the post office. When I got to the street, there was the mail carrier in her truck. I asked her if she could take the package and she was clearly NOT happy about it but agreed. I gave it to her. This may have been a mistake. The tracking shows that it arrived at the post office on April 29 and then on May 4 was 'processed by the agent'. I think she did the post office equivalent of pissed off waiter and spit on my package. It may be a while before I get my $130 back. At least I have a tracking number.

For the second night in a row, the Mariners lost in the bottom of the 9th again last night. So tiresome.

Time to get up and get dressed and walk.

And they wonder why the Post Office has such a bad rep?

Here in Pa the PO is showing commercials on tv encouraging customers to give their packages to carriers! The carrier is shown saying "give them to us, we're going there anyway".
I love your journal, BTW.

Nice to meet you, Susan. We have quite a lot in common (small boarding school and the sister thing for just a couple of examples).Have you heard the old saying that everyone has a twin somewhere? Yours might just be in the western suburbs of Philly. :) Have a great night. Helen
