[Magdalen] listgive touchdown!

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I use USPS for 99% of my business mailing. Up till Christmas they were still 
doing 2-3 day Priority for the flat rate, practically unlimited weight with 
their own boxes... today it was a 5 day delivery  (the receipt still called 
it '3 day', but the printed directive on the receipt indicated that it was a 
Friday delivery... : (

I have LOVEd USPS.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
