Did ya'll know this was going to be so complicated?
Over the weekend a local Boy Scout troup broke the world record for releasing 1000 model rockets at the same time..(the prev record was 300)...Check out the launch and parachutes raining down...i love model rockets, we used to launch them when I was a kid...awesome...
I've heard from some of ya'll, thanks for clueing me in...Jennifer from Foofaraw beads is alive and well, and apparently Corina has been a ghost for everyone...no one has heard from her...so there you have it...Sounds like there are multiple 'old timer' beadmakers who've disappeared...i didn't know...kinda a drag...
Some days in the garden are great, like when I have 3 monarchs visit the gregg's mist, and other days are not so good....yesterday I found a dead butterfly in the mulch..looked like another bug got to him...AND, one of my monarch chrysalis (the newest one, haven't posted a pic of it) was missing...completely gone...
but there was a black smudge and some black splash on the house...my guess - a bird spotted it and made a meal...bummer...one of the two that are pictured on my garden page has hatched, the other is nearly ready...that's good...I found 11 swallowtail caterpillars on the bronze fennel, which I'm pretty certain cannot take 11 caterpillars munching on it...we'll see...two are ready to crawl off and cocoon...
So, I get the rate increase for postage, that's not a big concern, I'm used to that...but, according to this CNN column, its gonna be much more complicated than we've heard...thickness matters now...size of envelope matters now...do I have to measure the entire package as well as weigh it now? I'm curious to see how Stamps.com works tomorrow when I fire it up..I've already downloaded the new version w/ the new rates, I wonder if they have spaces to enter the dimensions too...

Hi Donna,
FYI -I use P. B. Shipstream and it does give you a line to input the size of package.

thanks Jamie!!!! I used my Stamps.com today and although there are new dimension fields, once I said I was sending a package First Class, those entries went away, and shipping was normal for me...which was a relief indeed! So it was smoother than I thought...wheeee...
