SH>Yes.


TR> I put it in an envelope last night. It'll be in the mail this morning.


SH>Thanks, Tim.


I stopped at the Post Office after the run this morning to make sure I didn't
owe money on it in case the envelope was too heavy. It didn't feel that heavy
to me, but to the Postal Service.....who knows?


And its a good thing I did. It turns out the price of stamps has gone up
(again!) and they didn't say anything. At least not around here. Just raised
it!


While she was making change for me, I asked her;` You know, I mailed out the
checks for my bills on the first, and just used the $.42 stamps! Are you
telling me the checks are going to start coming back to me for not having a
few cents postage?'.....she says `Probably'! Thats great! At least two of them
will hit me for late fees.


I came home, went on line to my bank, and saw that all but two of them have
gotten where they were going and were paid. The other two are my car insurance
(which always takes a long time to arrive at its destination), and a check I
sent to a PGA DVD instruction club I belong to, which is no big thing.


The insurance company never charges me anything when the payment arrives late,
as long as they get it, I've been with them for years, now. So it worked out
alright. But its a good thing I went in to make sure the enveope wasn't too
heavy for ordinary postage, or it probably would have been returned for sure.
