First day in public school

Please don't misconstrue this post as racist that is certainly not my intent. A little over two weeks ago my youngest daughter started public school free being home-schooled through grade three. She was so excited to have music class for the first time. When she got home that day I asked, "How was music class?" she cheerfully replied "We learned a new song today, "Oye Como Va."" completely in Spanish I love Carlos Santana just as much as the next guy but how about we learn a song in English. I'm all for cultural integration but fourth grade music class It just ain't right!

Almost done with the USPS

I've had my issues with the US postal service and the corruption within, however I always tip my carrier when sending out large or heavy packages and in turn he doesn't stay extra long at my house "visiting" while I'm at work. Fair trade but still it just ain't right!

Going postal

About two years ago I purchased items on eBay like millions of people do everyday. Three days later I was happy to see the package had arrived at my home. I was even more pleased to see that the sender had secures the USPS priority mail package with a few extra pieces of packing tape along the edges. My excitement was short-lived however, when upon opening the package I discovered that the items had been removed and the "extra" tape was put in place after and over the USPS postmark. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the theft had occurred within the postal service facility. The items were insured and in about eight weeks my purchase price was returned to me by the postal service. That's not the issue. If I wanted the money I wouldn't have spent it in the first place. I wanted the items I purchased, which are now far more valuable than my purchase price. Did anyone look into where the items had gone. Isn't it a federal crime to temper with the US mail. Apparently not when they are the ones stealing it. This is not a single occurrence, it is all too frequent. It seems that a package sent into the US postal service stamped "insured" is open game and It Just Ain't Right.

USPS runaround

The package is gone. It was worth a lot of money where did it go? Nobody knows. Somebody has it, but nobody's gonna fess up. Punks. My uncle was a carrier for 30 years. Once he delivered a package that only had a name and a city. It was 10:00 at night on christmas eve. He said the name on the package was Billy and he thought it was a child who might be looking forward to the delivery for Christmas and not wanting to disappoint he looked at every address with the same last name until he found Billy. When Billy opened the package turns out it was from his father serving overseas. Also, just so you know Billy never saw his father again as his father died in Vietnam in the spring of the next year. I know this to be true because Billy was a friend of mine for quite a long time. My point is dedication can never be replaced by money.

USPS Runaround

USPS insurance makes you jump through all of their hoops knowing that someone in the post office stole it. It's cheaper for them to pay off the loss than it is to research who stole it and take any real action

U.S Postal Service runaround

When your package disappears in the USPS system who is accountable for the lost package. The way I see it if something valuable gets lost and insurance pays you for it you should also get paid for the appreciation of that item. If the post office loses my coin( steals it) and the coin appreciates in value by $1000 should I be entitled to that amount. Someone in the postal service has my coin and I want it back.
