Mail that was supposed to arrive by Au. 3 didn't arrive until Aug. 21 The USPS continues in its history of inefficient mail delivery. I have had many bad experiences over the year with lost mail, damaged packages and overnight deliveries that take several days to arrive. This incident is the latest in a string of countless failures of the USPS to do its job.  United States Postal Service Priority Mail Fail In July my friend C Norman sent me a time-sensitive package from Texas to Tennessee mailed Priority Mail. She sent it on July 31. The expected delivery was Aug. 3. When did it arrive? On Aug. 21.  “That’s not the end of the world,” one might say. No, but my friend paid extra for Priority because the timing of the gift’s arrival was important. If she wanted it to arrive the end of August, she could have paid less for standard postage.  If this incident doesn’t make you want to boo the post office, let me share that I was supposed to get married last September in Oklahoma...

Great computer build for modern video games on PC computers will save you money If you have been wanting to get one of the modern 3D video games with intensive graphics and slow load times, you may have checked prices at your local computer store or online. They aren't cheap! Writer Mark C. has put together a list of computer components that work together effectively to build your own PC gaming computer for about half the cost of buying one. The list is easy to follow and links to the appropriate parts on Amazon. When possible, he has provided optional links to allow readers to build a i5 non-streaming build or an optional  i7 streaming build. While he was researching the article, some parts became unavailable and others shot up in price, so he redid it to be up to date for publication. However, the prices and availability are subject to change at any time, so if this idea appeals to you, it would be best to act on it right away while prices and parts remain the same.  Check o...

Skechers Beverlee Delighted with Luxe Foam Sandals in Multi Readers of this blog know I am a fan of Skechers. However, I have finally found a pair on sale that are not a perfect fit-- the Skechers Beverlee Delighted with Luxe Foam. These wedge sandals are cute, and the luxe foam is comfortable, but these shoes are a little loose on my feet. My toes slide right out the front of the sandals. That's probably not Skechers fault, however, as I do have a narrow foot and these shoes don't come in narrow. I love the multi-color straps, and the heel means I can use the shoes for more than just casual sandals. However, having my toes slide out the front isn't a desirable look, nor is it comfortable, so I purchased some clear pads for the balls of my feet. Voila! Problem solved! My feet no longer slip and if anything, the shoes are even more comfortable now. The shoes came with a cute but cheap little adjustable, blue plastic phone stand, complete with the Skechers logo. It isn't ...
