Speak Out 12/19/14

** Mail late

I'm also calling to complain about the slow mail delivery. It's 5:30, 6 o'clock. One night it was 8 o'clock. We live in Woodland Hills subdivision. I think this is just terrible, because there's one guy who's been with the service for a while, and he can get it here by 1. So what's going on with that?

** Poor service

Something has to be done about this declining postal service. Within the past three months, I have not received two bills that were supposedly sent to me. One of them resulted in a letter from a collection agency, and one I incurred a late fee. I have never had these problems in the past because I promptly pay bills when I get them. I also have been getting my mail in the dark due to later delivery times. And that poses a hazard as well.

** Overkill

I'm 77 years old. And I could have killed the albino deer with a hammer. I gave him an apple every day. That wasn't a wild deer. We all called him "Snowflake." This big white hunter ... And I think the Missourian overkilled the article.

** Nice people

Recently I was feeling very sick, and there was something I needed from Wal-Mart. And when I went there, I saw two employees. They were managers, I believe. A man and a woman. And I asked them if they would help me get something. And they went way out of their way to find a product for me. They had me sit down while they went for the product. They brought stuff back, and it wasn't the right thing. And they went out again and got it and brought it to me. And then they finally found something for me that I wanted to get. And I left my wallet in my car, and the guy, he went out to my car, and I gave him the keys to get my wallet. And he dropped that back in. I want to thank them. They were very, very nice.

** Don't break law

Here's a good idea for those protesters. Why don't they wear a shirt that says, "Don't break the law"?
