Jim, Susan, and everyone else,

I know how picky the US Postal Service can be. We used to share information
with a company. We put stuff in a box and the company supplied us with
prepaid postage on a sticker. You know, it said "Business Reply Mail,
postage will be paid by permit holder". This went on happily and without a
hitch for several years. Everyone was happy.

Then one year, we started losing boxes or having them sent back to us.
Investigation revealed the Post Office had changed a policy. They no longer
allowed a pre-printed sticker saying "Business Reply Mail" to be affixed to
a package. It had to be a "Business Reply Label" before they would accept it.

We also have an article "posted" in our mail room about the Post Office
prosecuting the use of "private" mailers (like FedEx, UPS, etc.). Seems
investigators for the Postal Service had determined the businesses were
using the private mailers for mail that was not "urgent". Of course, it is
the Postal Service and not the companies who are deciding what is urgent.

I know Susan is working hard and her plants are great. I have a Red Savina
Hab in a pot from last year just waiting for warm weather to go back
outside. I've kept it under a grow lamp and it has been growing and blooming
all winter.
