Barry,

 BM> I'd be sticking with FedEx then.  ...What happens if you as the shipper
 BM> has great luck with them but the recipient has had horrible luck??!!

  I likely will stick with them...but unless there's a weather delay or
other issue, the package usually gets there when promised...at least with
FedEx.

 BM> I did a quick on-line search and it seemed more logical to ship _to_ a
 BM> Post Office address than a residential, much less not: docking
 BM> facilities, clustering (several drop-offs in the same area as opposed
 BM> to residential being scattered).

  Agreed. That's where I have shipments sent now, and I pick them up at the
Post Office during regular business hours.

 BM> As for the Glitter Bomb, saw Parts I and II earlier this year and :).
 BM> Also had seem some of it on a TV show and was disappointed in that
 BM> presentation.  Was from the same as on YouTube, just made highly bland:
 BM> the glitter part was barely tossed as opposed to throughout the room,
 BM> the Fart Spray portion was more like hallitosis....

  Sounds like the TV show censored it. I thought it was better on YouTube,
even though some parts were censored (mainly the profanity).

 DS>   Things can be photoshopped.

 BM> Say it isn't so!! <g>

  I can't. :P

 DS>   At least UPS or FedEx packs the stuff for you...but, you have
 DS> to pay for the container and the labor.

 BM> Is some instances it would be worth it.

  True...but the way they throw stuff around, you have to wonder. The 
tagline below bears this out.

 BM> Mine has received a few what are probably from political campaigns are
 BM> IIRC those are excluded from the registry.  ...I've sometimes wondered
 BM> if being on the list _increases_ the calls?  If the call originates
 BM> from outside the U.S. I don't think they're subject to our laws, and
 BM> here's a nice list of people!

  If I don't recognize the number, I hit the red button. If they leave a
voicemail, I decide whether or not to return the call, depending on the
content. If they call right back, chances are it's not a robocall.

 DS> ... What do you mean, QWK?? It took me over an hour to read!!

 BM> Wasn't the reading that took so long but the replying!

  This is true.

Daryl
