So Doyle and I have been toying around with the idea of having our mail delivered to our actual house---for the past 16+ years---and have finally decided to just take the plunge and do it!!! So Doyle went to town, bought the mailbox, put it in the ground, and then we waited..... Now you would think that since we live in a small rural community that this would not be a big deal, but then again it involves a government agency. So the first step was to go into the Post Office and tell them of our decision, then it was up to them to decide if they could (or would) amend the route to include us. Which really kinda pissed me off, don't I pay their salaries?? So that was decided, then the mail carrier came by and told us exactly where he would like the mailbox put, to make it easy for him of course. No problem, we did that--then we had to go back to the Post Office and fill out their forms so they could forward our mail. So I think good it's all done except a week goes by and no mail, now I don't know many people these days that get absolutely no mail in a week (I get a couple credit card offers at least) so I start to wonder.....So another trip to the Post Office and I find out that even tho they know where to send the mail, they can't start delivering it to the new address until our forward card comes back from Springfield. And we wonder why stamps are so expensive??

Isn't that the truth! We have had our fair share of "issues" with USPS at the bank as well!!!!!
