And there are some who want to turn our healthcare over to the feds......
When people ask me what my hobby is I tell them I buy penny postcards...on eBay...<<<<<<<<<<<
Me, too. I buy the ones with photos or other renderings of old locations that are no longer the same. Nostalgia for the good old days, I guess, when life was surely simpler.
LMAO
Yeah...and in the 1950’s my grandmother put a stamp on an envelope upside down once, and the postal “service” returned it to her because it was incorrect....NO LIE!
the postcard reads...
‘MARTY, THE FLUX CAPACITOR IS NOT WORKING
MAKE SURE TO SEND ME SOME NUCLEAR FUEL WHEN YOU GET THIS CARD IN 1957 OR I’LL DIE.”
Too bad he didn’t get it in 1987.
Is the Post Office still floating the idea of giving everyone an email address and then charging us $0.25 a message to hand deliver email to our doors?
"Greetings" really lacks feeling. Here's my punched up version of the lost postcard. :)
My Dearest Margaret,
Please excuse my writing you by postcard. As I am not yet completely settled in here, this card was all that I could find with which to make a hasty communication.
Margaret, my life here is so empty without you. I see now that I made a terrible mistake by not declaring my feelings for you before I left. I know that it might be presumptuous of me to broach the subject this way, but would you for a single minute, consider making your life with me here.
At my new job,I am making a sum that I have determined would support both of us in a pleasing fashion, so have no worries as to that matter. If you are at all amenable to this idea, please let me know immediately and I will come back to Boston and speak to your father about our plans. If in your heart you cannot see your way clear to acquiesce to my suggestion, you have no need to trouble yourself with a reply as I will take your silence as your answer.
With Respectful Admiration

lol, I never heard of that one, are you serious?
