It's the same with us and one set of our grandchildren, too. None of them live in our state, and they all... even our children... seem to think we'll "always be here," so there's "no rush" to visit. C'est la vie.<br /><br />It's pretty crummy to get ripped off by the P.O.

I also give money type gifts, buying gift cards from stores I know my kids like, Dan Murphy's for the wine drinkers, JBHifi for the DVD collectors and so on. it's so easy that way and they get to choose their own product.Elsie Hanlin.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-11550367439902266652018-12-02T15:15:58.784+11:002018-12-02T15:15:58.784+11:00If you were caught stealing a 50 cent postcard fro...If you were caught stealing a 50 cent postcard from the post office you would probably end up doing 90 days in the jail. but it seems stealing from customers is rife and tolerated as a genuine mistake.anon lady.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-55616289868437284512018-12-02T13:04:43.600+11:002018-12-02T13:04:43.600+11:00Took me back to the excitement of Christmas when I...Took me back to the excitement of Christmas when I was young.<br /><br />Never thought about it at the time but it always felt good visiting my grandparents and aunties and uncles.<br /><br />I think there are far too many distractions these days and the real joy of youth is near completely lost.Chris Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-40093388982236505812018-12-02T11:51:04.672+11:002018-12-02T11:51:04.672+11:00Andrew.

For whatever the faults of the old style post offices, intimidating and stern grumpy staff, they were at least pretty efficient and I can't imagine them shortchanging anyone for stamps.
