I wonder how some of you are doing with your move update changes and if you have paid any penalties for bad addresses?  The USPS is so quick to come out with new rules, but before they go into affect, they somehow get changed before the effective date.  We were told when the NCOA update penalties went into affect January 4, 2010 that the mailer would not know that the addresses were bad until after the mail was in the system.  However, when we talk to our local USPS they told us that they knew immediately that the addresses were bad and the customers are given the option of picking up the mail and correcting the bad addresses or paying the extra postage.  I think that is a much better scenario than to have the mail enter the system and then find out that the postage is going to be much more. The USPS reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live skit where the comedian says “forget all that other stuff I said.”

On a personal note, I haven’t posted very many blogs in the past few months as I have been sick.  I am feeling great now and looking forward to spring.  I have had a very uplifting morning today because I thought about all the blessings that I have and how grateful that I am to live in the greatest country in the world.  My prayers are with the people of Haiti and the rescuers trying to help. One of my best friends son is in the military and is there helping in a medical field hospital. When I think about the little problems that I have, they pale in comparison to the tragedy in Haiti.  The things we take for granted, food, water, medical care and a roof over our head is something that they do not have and may not have for a long time. “This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”  I don’t know about you but I am planning on a great day.
