The Vent

[trailmix 77]

Thanks for the giggles all of you.

Mucho grande love to yous all (was that English???).

Well, in absence of IR5 who's somewhere doin' sumtin' to a cat with butter and a beer bottle

That cat was of consenting age, I swear....

IR5, I just want to point out that you never vent. In fact you never say anything about yourself at all. How do we know you aren't a plant from MTL posing as a jokester with a cat who has a remote hmmmm?

I am not a weed choking out all the pretty flowers (that one was for vnoe and the rest of the Seinfeld fans out there). With Len and Laura, the Cloacina twins, I don't think there's a need for any more venting. What specifically would you like to know? I wear a size 14 1/2 size shoe and XXL gloves, if that helps. The personnel at the Department of State, last time I checked, have no sense of humor. Actually here's a picture of me with one of my cats.

El vento:

So Canada Post attempts to deliver a parcel to us Saturday, while we are out, they leave the card.

Last night, after work, my Husband goes to the post office, stands in line for 20 minutes and then hands the woman the pick up card.

"And she is"?

"My Wife"

do you have the SAME LAST NAME??

"no"

No, can't give you the package, you need written permission blah blah blah.

He has picked up numerous parcels at the post office that were addressed to only me, never any problem - but after searching I found a reference on their website that says you have to have written permission to pick up the parcel. (Might be an idea to print it on the slip that they leave in the mailbox - I emailed them and suggested this, so look for it on your next pick up slip!!)

You know, I understand the whole privacy thing, but I mean really - we have the same address and the thing is she would have bent the rule if we had the same last name.

Stupidity reigns.

AGHHHH silly...

But isn't there a place on the card to Designate someone else to pick up the parcel for you? I remember there being a place to fill out saying - i can't pick this package up but i designate so and so to do it? Perhaps?

No nothing like that on there (maybe there used to be and then they decided that was too straight forward) - it says "present this card with photo and address identification" - that's it - harumph.

GAH!! silly postal system. I was talking to our postman the other day and he was saying that new people are added to the system all the time and they use the wrong terminology and the wrong forms and messing up things.. so let's blame it on a NEWBIE!!

Oh that is ridiculous!

Hehe, maybe this is why my mother is encouraging me to change my name.

Funny, you don't look at all like an Elmer J. Fudd, Millionaire.

I once had a Postal Employee give me hassle because the letter I went to pick up had my last name wrong by one letter.

Well she moved to Calgary so you are safe now.

Ok, forgive my cynicism here, but this was delivered with the mail today. Glossy cover, full color, double sided pages, of course. Am I the only one who thinks sending unsolicited material reminding people to recycle milk containers is just...dumb?

I believe that's the definition of irony. Encouraging you to recycle on a non-recyclable piece of paper.

Different last name from a spouse and that was a problem at a Canadian post office??!!

Have they not heard the (actual) news:

more people live common law in Canada than are "legally" married!
