If you heat your home with wood or some other type of burning material, here is something else you can use. This is also a great way to get rid of all the junk mail you receive. Turn your junk mail into burning logs of paper. Check it out.
With technology these days, many of us send an e-card, or a Facebook message, instead of writing out a Christmas card and addressing an envelope and actually putting a stamp on it and mailing it out.
I went to the post office in Clinton yesterday to get the stamps for sending my Christmas cards. I loved the different options they have every year for the Christmas stamps. This year they had poinsettias and gingerbread houses. But what caught my eye was on the counter next to the boxes.
The United States Postal Service loses about $25 million a day and in an effort to save the USPS, there had been talk of eliminating Saturday deliveries, but that idea was nixed by Congress, which has control over these matters. So, how does Congress propose to save the Postal Service? One piece of proposed legislation is known as ‘cluster mail’.
Members of Maine’s congressional delegation are not that thrilled with the U.S. Postal Service’s idea to cut out Saturday mail delivery. They feel it would hurt rural communities and Maine is mostly a rural state.
They can cite healthcare costs all they want, we know the real reason the Post Office is going to stop Saturday deliveries in August. Clearly, it is because they never redesigned their bags to hold tacos and mail. People love the tacos. But they need their mail...
THIS JUST IN!!! THIS JUST IN!
The US Postal Service has announced that Saturday delivery will stop in August!
That is, if it gets congressional approval.
Never fails. You have all the cards written out, inserted the family photo and the note explaining everything that happened in the past year. But what don't you have enough of? Stamps!
