So...is there going to be any mail today? |
|
Yes this sounds selfish but dammit I need my check!!!
Look, I respect Ford and I respect his funeral but geez it seems like it's going on forever!!! Just bury the man and please let poor Betty rest!!!
Sorry if this sounds offensive to you and I apologize in advance, but I need to know if the mail is running today.

4. I haven't had mail delivered for a WEEK |
|
and things are such a mess out there that it may take another few days.
The snow that fell here is NOT MELTING, thanks to a streak of near record cold. There are few plows, and although they're turning to residential streets, they're only plowing wealthy areas.

5. We haven't had NO SNOW at all this year... just rain... |
|
Now it's nice and sunny out and I want to get out but I need my check so I could get some gas in my car. We only had one snowstorm this year, usually we are plaqued by them every year, in January.
I am so not looking forward to spring.

I FINALLY got my mail just a few minutes ago!!!
It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS to have to wait so long for mail because so SLIMEBALL NOBODY of an UNELECTED Presidential FAILURE died.
Did anyone else hear the Rumor that THE POPE has begun the process of making Ford ST. GERALD THE GREAT????!!!!

8. I would imagine after so many days off they're running behind |
|
I also doubt you'll see any third class mail delivered today, but your check and all other first class mail that's been waiting should get there eventually.

9. Hopefully it will come TODAY!!! |
|
Not only do I need gas for my car, I need food.. and new tags. I am planning on going to the DMV this week and switching my plates. I guess it's mandatory that we get new plates or something.

Funny how Ford died over the holidays when Saddam was being killed. Need another day off? Hey, let's have a funeral and close down the gov'ment. Are the flags at half mast, were they? When Regan died before the 4th of July (hey, let's take him off ice tell everyone he just died, and have a funeral for the holiday) the flags were at half mast for so many days...even on Independence Day which is really stupid and anyone one who flew their flag at half mast that day just "hates America and our freedoms." Who's to say these guys weren't all ready dead, or slipped 'em something to hurry things along. Okay, foil hat off now.

11. Mob scene at the local Post Office |
|
You would think they were giving a free lunch and high definition photos of Britany Spears's hooter out at the Post Office today.

12. It came three hours late today and about half the mail I should have got |
|
The post office said the mail was so heavy that the carriers didn't get out until three hours after they normally do and didn't have the time to sort and deliver most of what they had at the office.
Maybe tomorrow I might get my pension check? Maybe not?

14. My 94 year old grandma's check didn't arrive. |
|
I fronted her $400 bucks yesterday for her bills and rent thinking I would be reimbursed today. Alas, no fucking way!
Clearly Bu$hco doesn't give a shit about those who need mail service for LIVING(there wasn't any other way to honor Ford than enact a mail holiday??!! WTF?)
And for Ford! I'm sorry but whatever you think about speaking ill of the dead, I am furious. I will also say that Betty Ford is clearly having a very difficult time dealing with a week's worth of public grieving! She was in a wheelchair today, this just had to be a very difficult physical effort for an elderly woman. :grr:
