Jeepers, Gang! This is gonna be the most exhausting Christmas ever!

Well, no one is laid up with cancer, or from a horrible car accident, or is being shipped off to The SandBox...

For a guy who had his neck filleted, a whole bunch of cervical vertebrae fused, and had everything stitched back together, Dad was in fairly good shape.  The tingling and loss of sensation has gone away, and his dexterity has returned.

Glad he's home and feeling better. As for shipping.
I sent tea to an APO that's in Iraq. I had to fill out a customs form for USPS. I'll stick w/ UPS/FedEx or whomever my friend's mail box store contracts it out too. No filling out customs forms.

You have to fill out customs stuff with FedEx too, though. The head registrar had to ring me up when I was on vacay with Mom and Dad to iron out paperwork in order to get a framed photograph from here to the UK. I don't get it, quite frankly. It isn't a plant, or radioactive, or makes a ticking noise. It isn't even a sculpture, where I could understand having it inspected just to make sure it wasn't stuffed with drugs!
