So I folded those darn fabrics as thin as I could, pressed, rewrapped the Press n Seal, squished them to death, poaked tiny pinholes in the wrap and squished some more air out of them. They actually had this piece of cardboard with a slot cut in it that they had to pass each envelope through (the official Puffy test). They passed, thank goodness. Now since I live in the boonies and our post office is a small trailer which also houses the feed & grain and the game warden, I won't argue with them. But the next time I have to stand in line behind a guy in an orange hat holding a dead turkey I shall voice my objections loudly.
Ok...was trying to get through all of the posts I missed since yesterday and had to comment. WOW!!! A puffy test. Hmmm...doesn't sound right, but I guess I can understand where they are coming from. Hugs and if you need help with postage, let me know.
Second, you have a Post Office, Feed & Grain, AND the Game Warden all in the same place. Is the Game Warden also your postman? That would be AWESOME!!!!! Little towns facinate me. I grew up in a big city and then moved to a BIGGER city!!! Sadly the BIGGER city gets hurricanes now. What was I thinking??? Third, is it Turkey hunting season??? I didn't think that started until October. Hmmm...I bet you couldn't miss the BRIGHT ORANGE HAT, huh? I guess he wanted to make sure he was "SEEN" in public. We shall call him O.H.M.
I would have laughed if I walked in and saw that and then I would have turned around and left...no way I would have dealt with a dead turkey...no m'aam. Feathers and all...nope! I've been chased by several live ones, a dead, cleaned, cooked one at Thanksgiving is the only way I want to see them now.
