I sure hope mine gets there... I just put it in the drop box in the lobby of my building, but the regular postman has been on vacation and IDK if the other one knows about it... :unsure:


THIS is what happened to my last piece of vape Mail...

It was sent to FOUR cities in one day... :facepalm: LMAO!!
And IDK where they were leaving notices, but it sure wasn't at MY place...
(there was even one left off from the 23rd)

Thank goodness it finally showed up last night!! :D


(5 days for Priority mail that was just sent from up the coast here!!)

That was my card! I used to trout fish near Petit Jean, Hot Springs, The Little Red River (in various different locations), plus some hide-a-way creeks, every year on vacation on my motorcycle. Why did I sell my Diawa Mini Cast?:facepalm: I guess I'll get another one, and start trout fishing again since I'm semi retired. I used to get up early in the morning, catch a trout or two, and cook them on a stick over an open camp fire, with eggs. What a way to start the day!

Today is the last day and we have 21, wish you would get all the rest today:cry:
So cool, that last one from AR, my folks live just down the road from Petit Jean :)

I was raised in Eastern Ark. and there are so many beautiful places there. I lived in Hot Springs for a few years, know Petit Jean fairly well. Used to go to Bull Shoals a lot too :)

    Sweet! Another ARKY :) And a biker too? When I worked at a hotel I learned that biker's are mostly just big ole' teddy bears :)

    It doesn't count if it's post marked before the 25th?

    It doesn't count if it's post marked AFTER the 25th ;)

    I've been riding bikes since I was 14. I'm 60 now. Darn, that's 46 years! I was a motorcycle safety instructor for a while.

    I got my first Harley when I was 16. $100.00 It was a 1952 tin hat Police Bike. Had the bags and shield, everything those cop bikes had except of course the police gear. I sold it for the same price. Wished I had it now. I've probably owned and rode 20 Harley Davidsons in my life. Low riders, choppers, Dressers. I sold my last one about 15 yrs. ago because of the rain but mostly because when they came out with that heritage soft tail with the springer I said until I can get one of those to build I won't own another. Then it all just kind of got lost in the shuffle.

    I really like the looks of the Soft Tail Springer, But all that chrome up front, and the bugs! I'd spend half my time polishing it.

    Woo Hoo!

    So excited - when does Lara have to turn them all in? When will she know how well she did?
    She's got to have them all in by June 3rd, that's why we wanted them in to us by the 25th. That way there was time for the stragglers to get here (b/c we all know how well the postal system works!) I'm sure she won't know that day b/c the teachers will have to get all the classes maps together and see who did what. I know as of Wednesday her class was missing 7 (I believe) states!! They seem to be doing pretty well! I'll let you guys know as soon as we know! :D

    Oh no!! That's terrible!!! At least I know we aren't the only company that gets screwed over by the PO. We had a customer who is only 1 state over from us, but somehow their stuff ended up going to either SC or FL! Last time I checked to get to OH from PA didn't involve going south! :facepalm: but hey, I guess it just shows that everyone is only human and mistakes do happen...

    Isn't today the deadline?

    How many states did you get covered?

    Yes, the 25th was the deadline, but that was more of a guideline that way we could get as many as we could in time for her contest. She needs to have them in by June 3rd, so we've got a few extra days to collect any more that may be floating around out there!

    We will still accept them for our contest as long as they arrive before she has to have them to school which is June 3rd, so basically the last day that we can receive the cards in our PO Box would be June 1st (Saturday, which also happens to be Lara's 10th birthday!!)

    I think because there's no mail on Monday and Lara has to turn the cards in by (maybe?) Tuesday.

    School's already out here, don't know about the more northern states... think they go might later.
    School's already out there?!?!?!?!? OMG, Lara would die if she knew that!! She loves her school and doesn't really want summer to come, but she definitely gets jealous when she hears that others are out of school earlier then she is. We don't get out here until June 14th!
