LittleMe Jewell Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) The state of our US Postal Service is pathetic. I have a prescription coming from Canada. It left Vancouver on April 12th and was processed at the Los Angeles CA Postal facility last Thur, April 14th (a full freakin week ago). Per the Tracking History, it is still "in transit" to Colorado. I could drive from LA to Denver and back again in a week's time. No telling how much longer before they finally get it to me. When it finally gets to Colorado, it will first have to process through the main Denver facility before coming to my local post office. That means at least another 2-3 days, so Monday at the earliest, it seems. I actually stopped ordering various other things from company's that ship via USPS because of their abysmal service. Unfortunately, this is a very expensive prescription to buy in the States and I haven't found another good out of country place to get it yet. The search is on for a replacement pharmacy though -- hopefully one that will ship through any shipping service besides the USPS.

I've watched packages take whirlwind tours of the US on both UPS and FedEx, too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) No worries, while half of the world population has an IQ under 100, almost everybody thinks they are intelligent. And age is weight in at an official IQ test. But every x-years the IQ tests are standardized again, because the average has to stay on 100. The tests tend to get a bit harder every time to keep the average at 100 points. People as a whole seem to get smarter step by step. But if one reads the comments on Twitter and Facebook .......

kali Wylder Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The thing that really peeves me to no end is how my own IQ has suffered with age. It used to be so much easier to understand things than it is today. I know part of that is because my kidneys are failing and they are not doing the job they need to do to clean the blood supply to my brain. I'm hoping that once I start dialysis I will see some improvement. I really don't like feeling so confused. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I will believe you because I want there to be hope after 50! Wait, is this showing my lack of emotional intelligence, using my desires to alter the factual reality of cognitive decline? lol Pet Peeve: Am I fooling myself, I don't know... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Peeve: 4 of the 8 users I follow on the forums, have either left the forums or not posted in more than a year. Good people, with a history of helpful posts, positivity, and support for others. Guess it's past time to follow some new people who are positive influences, good role models, to make up for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
