Amy, are you going to take them to the post office to mail them or just drop them in the box? I ask because I put extra postage on and a tracking number. If you mail them at the post office, will you point it out to them so they remember to scan it? If you just drop it in the box, that's OK too. They usually catch it at the post office and scan it, but it doesn't hurt to point it out to them.
Thanks,
Jody

I'll likely hand them to a PO worker, since I have some that sent cash that I have to pay for postage with.

Amy you should have mine by Friday, even if I have to express mail them. I just have had some unexpected family crisis come up and that has put me in a time squeeze. I am sorry to be one of the ones holding things up.

Thank you all for the support and the offer of help. I just found out that my oldest surving brother has been battling cancer for the last three years. He is now beyond the stage of chemo and radiation, so it is just a question of time. Plus he is losing his hearing and his vision is down to 30%. He and I have always been close, but for some reason the family decided not to tell me about how serious his condition is.

He had a stroke a little over a year ago and there was some talk amongst the family of me moving to Missouri to take care of him then as I am the only one who can make the move readily.

Unfortunately his 2nd wife has to work in St. Louis and only can make it home for the weekends. His son and one of his daughters live nearby him and check on him, but the family feels that if his condition gets worse, then I am the one to go and take care of him.

Even though I the next to youngest, I have always been the caretaker in the family. I nursed my father through his cancer, and took care of my oldest sister who was a paraplegic. I also took care of my mother when she had her stroke many years ago. And when my sisters and sisters-in-law where pregnant with my nephews and nieces, I was there for them too. So I am trying to get everything resolved via phone calls and emails with the family and hopefully I won't have to move. But if my brother needs me, I will be there.
