Ro, would this be delivered today?

I've seen letters addressed to my grandfather which didn't have the street address or state included on the envelope -- just the name and town. Of course, when I was small, we were on a party-line for phone service, and to dial a local number, you only needed to dial the last four digits.

Same here...and we could usually tell which neighbor was listening in by they're breathing patterns! "Big Brother" ??? Nope!!! It's Nosy Neighbor Norma!!

I dunno. The town where I live is so small that the joke is that when you fart, everyone smells it. There are advantages to that. Sometimes when a package is addressed to me and the driver knows I'm at work, it magically appears on the desk at my office. All that is necessary for my return address is my last name and zip code.

i love this !
