| LIFE Charles Dickens had a "Tale of Two Cities" and I have a "Tale of Two Families"

[It Takes Eleven]

Considering just about every one of her songs is about the bad choices she's made in life in regards to men...you sure this is something you want known in public?

I've made the good choice of not being able to name the title of a single song she sings.

We'd both be sitting here all day if we were left with the option of leaving or naming one of her songs. I know her tour's name is "Eros." It stops there.

Saturday it was in Fairbanks ( or Fairburn) GA postal facility and today it was in KC, Missouri. I’m betting it doesn’t make the Monday by 9 p.m. delivery date.

Just like with Rick's story; I think it's something that has happened to all of us. I've seen package sent from NC (Amazon) to Columbia, to Summerville, to Chicago, back to Columbia, Summerville, and then delivered.

Here's what I find amusing. "The check got lost in the mail." I've never had a check get lost but have had things I've mailed 10 years or so ago get lost and...who knows where they ended up.

Here's where I laugh. Things still get lost in the mail. But now, we can track them and see how lost they are.

Check lost in the mail as @TerryP said. Had two checks that were lost not mail, One was lost for over a year and it is still good, same as the other one it was misplaced for over 6 months. Both time it messes my account up, just because I forgot about those two checks.

I haven't used a paper check in a long time.

I've had several packages "make their own way and route" on their way here.

I ordered a pair of Crocs Friday. Yesterday they were in Columbia, SC. Today they are in Danville, VA. Still scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Daddy got his copy on Friday and loves it. Thanks Wayne! You should have a check any day, it was mailed Friday.

Got your check Today Mike, thank you.

Got your check Today Mike, thank you.

You are very welcome Wayne. Thank you!

Here's your ultimate USPS story. @Bamabww

Put your money in the mail on the 17th of last month. I got it back in the mail today.

It's easy for me to diagnose this problem. I mean...

I put your name.
I put my street address
I put your city and state.

What could be the issue?

PM me your address, please.

I'll admit to never having finished a A Tale of Two Cities, but I have finished my copy of Two Lawrence County Families. What a great read, @Bamabww . It's a great lesson in how hard previous generations had to work just to survive. It's also clear the love and respect you have for your family to have the interest and industry to put their many stories down in writing.

RTR,

Tim

 

[Bamabww]

What a great read,

I appreciate your kind words very much Tim. Thank you. I'll admit I enjoyed doing it.

I was home over Easter and read Wayne's book that I got for daddy. I would strongly encourage you to buy a copy and read it. I read it in two evenings. Thanks Wayne for bringing the stories from Bankhead and your family to print. Well done! Daddy told me a few stories of some of the people mentioned in the book.

 

[Bamabww]

I’m glad you enjoyed you and your dad enjoyed the book. I appreciate very much your kind comments about it. But I don’t have anymore for sale though.

You can't make this crap up! It happen twice with me just last week and this week.

OH, I know!!!

I ordered some batteries the other day through Walmart+. Free shipping, right? They dropped them off, that day, from another store here locally. I expected them to be shipped from Asheville.

It's spring, therefore gardening season. I ordered some twine to tie up roses, tomatoes, etc. It took seven days to get here (would have been five minute bike ride to Family Dollar, five minutes back.)
