I think the postal services are on a go-slow
but I'm sure it won't take too long now. It won't be a regular thing. I just wanted you to try what I had made but it works out expensive to post so enjoy it while you can.

Someone gave me this US postal disk that I use to print up my own free postage for one month if I am sending packages.
The catch is after one month, the US postal services wants a monthly fee to use their site for the same services. I'm still checking it out (will probably expire), but still using cash to pay for my postal package services because it sounds too good to be true and like there is some major catch within. I mean, you ever hear of the Post Office giving stuff away for free? It's kind of scary! |

It sounds like you've got to subscribe to them to get the offer.

Like I just got the weirdest email in my box. It is addressed to someone different but came to me, and it says, "the package you sent did not go thru on
May 8th because of a wrong address, please correct it in the form attached). I send so much stuff I don't know what that is about and besides can't
imagine post office or ups would have my email. I only gave it to the college. I know that is not 'junk mail.'
So, somebody is missing something and it is waiting to be picked up at UPS, by me with the wrong email address. Is that spam? |

The attachment won't open, or also there is no form?!

I would ignore it.
I received an email stating that a package that I was expecting was delivered to a flat next door to my place of work. I phoned them up and they denied it. Goodness knows what they were up to, but I eventually received the package. |

Yeah, now I remember this package, something I sent back to a company, and I did not black out the UPS scan code, so when it went thru the post office again it
read the address it came to and from (mine) again, and not the address (theirs/company) that it was supposed to be returned to, because I hand writ that out.
And so the package came back to my address again. The post office mailed it again for me for free after blacking out the UPC. But, this still does not explain
how that email message got into my adrohdyte box addressed to someone else whose email was almost like mine, and it did not seem to be a mailing list generate.
Very funky. It's like when I pick up the phone and I dial someone and it goes directly to the cable operator or another number completely, but I can see on the lighted digital face I have dialed the correct number. I just believe the whole system may be tied up or going down! As will the internet. |

Sounds like your parcels doing a tour.
I doubt whether the Internet will go down, youbeme, as our Govenment is going to force everyone to contribute money towards the 'computers for all' campaign. |

You don't think all the computer wires will eventually become blogged up and 'too much information,' will cause them to stop working?
I mean at best the internet is really still an experiment in this sense! I mean come on I got an email in my box not addressed to me about a package I sent on the same day as this other person. Wires crossed! |

The soaps arrived, Samantha, and I'm already using them. They are lovely and I thank you a lot, but the arrival of your package just gives me an even worse
concience about the 'herbs for hubby' that I still have lying around.

Hubs is okay, Anarka.
We had a long talk the other evening about the possibility of everything collapsing by the end of the tax year. He's still looking for work but no one's going to employ anyone over the age of 50 here especially if you still want the minimum wage. We're both kind of prepared ourselves for hard times ahead. Opening up the gates to foreign workers mean that the like of us have to sign on for Job Seekers and live on £50 per week. The soap is pure organic and stops my skin drying out for that itch-scratch-itch syndrome. I'll be buying one more batch before the Autumn and stashing them away. After that it's back to whatever's on special offer.

Nobody's been paying special attention to me lately, and I feel all boo-hoo. If Anarka's not all over me, I feel like shhhhhhhhh.

Oh, that's it. I just fall apart if she's not paying attention to me, and she's really the only thing that I have that is very good (I mean I like
her she's bizzare, quirky, and very fun/she's specialer than a lot of my friends because she has just the right personality. A lot of my friends are
nice and cool, but they are not as zannie as her, and she just really makes me feel comfortable, and I miss her stories so much!) and if you are getting her
attention, you don't need it, I do. You see you have a husband, and um Anarka's my wife, (blah, blah, blah) you understand. Sorry, i'll try to be
more nice and understand that maybe we can let you into our life and we can all be happy, and I can share her with you (although it's rough, rough, rough!)
That's just me being honest. Although she's not my wife, she is rather my life though, and i've let her down and been a bad friend lately so I can see how she is away from me after I didn't visit and she was waiting for my call anytime, and I made up bs that kept me from her, I think it was just the final straw, she doesn't like me as much. But, I had that coming I guess. Nothing I can buy her now can change her mind, can it? Lots of love, Kathi * I got me to lose me to find you *

I fully understand you and agree.
You do need this special relationship and Anarka is one of the sweetest people I know and she understands and loves you. I know that you need her, too She's a special person to you and so is Godknows.

You get paid for this shite as part of your job commitment? We should all be so lucky! My BF owes me one, i'm just about to call him up and cash in on that
one though. Living in Clairemont again will put me right next to my 2 BF's again, so it will be a lot eaiser. Problem is they both smoke pot, and i'm
really supposed to stay away from that, but it's kind of hard when they have like 5 different kinds of chronic all sitting there in the individual
containers! And then I have to smell them all...
Have to. * I got me to lose me to find you *

Just tell your flatmate that it's an essential oil.
