With the snow, it's probably a forgone conclusion that there will be no mail.

I always thought this this was the USPS creed, but actually it's just engraved on the NY City Post Office.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

It's also pretty sure that we will see the end of the Saturday Home Delivery of mail as well in the next few months. The USPS is just waiting approval from Congress. They they will likely get with the new congress when it comes into session.

At first I was really disturbed by this. I do a ton of business on eBay and do most of my shipping through the Post Office. (Though it seems that even eBay is steering it Sellers to ship more UPS. eBay has made it easy to print and ship via UPS in the last 6 months.)

If it weren't for eBay and other auction sites like it, the Post Office would be really hurting! IMO

No business I know of, gets Saturday delivery, so I guess I can see why the Post Office wants to cut it out. The biggest problem I see as a Seller on eBay, is that I might get "dinged" by a Buyer as perceived "slow shipment" due to not shipping on a Saturday.

I was wrong.

I had a fill in. :mad: 1/2 my mail always gets sent back when I have a fill in!

He didn't deliver anything I was expecting from eBay, even thought it said it was posted "Processed through sort facility, Charlotte" last night! I'll have to see if it was posted "Out for Delivery". That means it most likely will get sent back. I lose more friggin mail that way! :mad:

I forgot about Netflix Jangler. They keep that Post Office going too.

Has anyone noticed that magazines are starting to offer discounts on subscriptions if you get it delivered "electronically" over a printed version? Pretty soon, a printed magazine will go away. (Then what will we read in the Doctor's office while we are waiting all that time? Or on the toilet? LOL) All of us will have to have iPods or Kindels? (I don't have either.)

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
