AH>Hi, Daryl!  Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:

Hi, Ardith...

AH>Yeah, I figure it might easily take about that long to walk from where
AH>you are to where I am... [chuckle].

  Some days, I'm lucky to walk from the bedroom to the bathroom...in
this "960 square foot dollhouse (apartment)". :P

AH>heard stories about snail mail which took even longer 'way back when.

  The Postal Service around here has been notorious for losing mail
to/from me...especially medical bills and payments. So now, I make an
over the phone payment with my debit card (no more credit cards since
having been in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy several years ago)...and tell them

  I do all my BBS messaging via QWK Mail...it saves time online, and I
don't have to worry about the online editor crashing on me. It's
obviously very frustrating when you've entered a long reply, and the
system then barfs on it, and it's gone.
