Let’s make that day without mail a Wednesday,you know the day everyone goes golfing.That will mean I’ll have one day in the middle of the week I can celebrate getting no bills,mine or my neighbors,just like a Sunday.But the postal workers will probably want Saturday so they can have more long week ends.Some how I feel we’re gonna lose twice with this,another day without mail and they probably will get paid for some of this day or all of it.I wonder if all their employees are required to read and speak English or would that be discrimination?

Right on Rlwalker!

[I’m afraid they will now really go postal on me if they are getting cut a day’s work.]

Not to worry.  First they would have to do a day’s work.

Just went out to get my mail and I have another gripe to add.  I always get someone else’s mail in my box, but it may just be a house a little further down than mine.  Today, I get a neighbor’s mail who actually lives on my road, but also get mail from a neighbor who actually lives down a different road altogether.  This is ridiculous.

Oh, I have called them before and they are hostile and defend every carrier.  I’m afraid they will now really go postal on me if they are getting cut a day’s work.

Dew:  “I guess next Mobile Press Register will be printing papers only 5 days a week, and guaranteed delivery time will be “WHEN IT GETS THERE.” Dang how things are changing while I’m away.”

Mississippi Press which is owned by Mobile Press has already dropped their paper to 4 days a week.

By the way the Mobile Press Register has went up to $2 at the newstand for Sunday paper and $1 for daily.  They are going to have to put change machines out now just so people get get a newspaper if they want it.  Not many people walk around with 8 quarters in their pocket and some stores don’t want to give you change if you don’t buy something in their store.

As with Mobile Press, you can never tell when your Mississippi Press will hit the steps either. As light as the paper is, when they throw it, it probably flies back over the car.

Ha! Yeah. I guess I’m going to have to start getting my bills emailed to me.
I have a box at my door, and according to the manager at my branch, my courier doesn’t have to stop to pick up my outgoing mail if he doesn’t have mail for me. But considering I’ve not gotten my Wednesday “Subscriber Plus” until Friday or Saturday since I’ve lived there, means he just stops when he feels like it.

Kx cute!  LOL

Everyone should take a hard look at this, because it is a perfect example of the difference between government run agencies and free market capitalism.

The USPS will have a 6 billion dollar deficit this year.  While Fed-Ex and UPS are more efficient and make a profit.

And, we want to give our government a trillion bucks to do as they please.  geezzzzzzz

Sounds like they’re trying to back out on that forever stamp too doesn’t it.The service has been getting progressively worst over the last ten years and later and later in the day before they run.Numerous times it has been after dark before they ran and the mail sometimes is often on the wrong street but I bet the pay keeps on rising,I know the stamps do.A time or two we’ve seen the mail person in a super market playing games before they finished their rounds or at a friends house and I’m not talking about a lunch break.

I suggested a service they could add that would actually be useful and make them money.
Tie an e-mail address to each snail-mail address.
That way, for the price of a first class stamp you could include the non-computer user in your mailing lists.  You would even be saving the post office from shipping the note across the country since it would print at a local post office.  Saving money what would the post office do?  Charge more for a “special service.”  Idiots ... and lazy.  All they would have to do is take the first class postage and deliver the extra mail.  Win-Win?  Nope.
