assistant: Oh, I see, i thought somebody was upset it was taking so long to get
their check by mail.
   Usually that's the case, in not so rare exception's, it take's over a week
to go 250 miles, and were not talking the boonies.  I had a guy in georgia
that i think didn't believe me when i said i hadn't rec'd his check, it was 3
wk's after he mailed it, he call's me on the phone, and miraculously my wife
say's the check arrived in the mail that day. Yea right, i'm sure he believed
it. I don't know what happened, lost on the carrier's floorboard?
I'd would have been calling too, sooner than  that, since he was waiting for
me to send the merchandise when i got the check.
        Hope the newyears starts of good on your end, things are good here.
