Hey Mermaid--
Now I am paranoid that the DEA or the local sheriffs are watching our house for suspicious teabag activity.
Guess you better lay off the weed for a while

Thank you. I have run through February's extra $100. A million should cover my oh-so-extravagant lifestyle.
As soon as I can save up enough for a Trailways ticket to get there. :funn:

Here's a possibility why the teabag was removed since the mail is probably diverted through Illinois................
Tea bag protest could harm mail delivery: postal service
Chicago Sun-Times, Sep 21, 2006 by Jim Suhr
Seeking a Midwest version of the famed Boston Tea Party, Illinois' second-highest politician wants residents to mail tea bags to that state's two biggest electric utilities in protest of coming rate hikes.
The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday offered a caveat: Skip the tea.
Saying full tea bags could be bulky enough to harm its equipment and create security scares by leaking brown residue, the Postal Service says consumers can get their point across by tucking an empty tea bag inside their monthly bill to ComEd or Ameren Corp.
UTILITIES CITE MARKET RATES
"It's absolutely legal for people to mail a tea bag," said David Colen, a postal inspector and spokesman for the Chicago division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, a law-enforcement arm of the agency. "By no means are we trying to stop what the lieutenant governor is trying to do. We just want to keep the mail flowing."
On Tuesday, Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn pressed his bid to get ComEd or Ameren customers to include a tea bag with their monthly payments.
The utilities said the joint auction ensures wholesale electricity will be bought at the lowest market rate when a mandatory 10-year rate freeze expires at the end of the year. Lawmakers' 1997 deregulation plan, which imposed the freeze, also required two rate decreases.

Will an extra $20K help out? Probably not, you'd never notice it.Thank you. I have run through February's extra $100. A million should cover my oh-so-extravagant lifestyle.

I protest. Just because my favorite college song (decades ago in another life :roll: ) was about the hemp smokin' captain who brought the Titanic down, that's no reason for the Florida USPS to assume that I was mailing jdarg anything other than Trader Joes Organic Orange Spice Rooibos Herbal Tea!!! Do we have a USPS spy here in the Lounge? This is pure circumstance gone wild.
Like anyone who would wear Nick'N'Nora flannels with flamingos could be anything other than an antioxidant-loving sweet adorable innocent tea drinker. This is what I get for trying to boost jdarg's health and well-being. My teabags got swiped!
