Mr Bean, missed the boat. He should have been an oragami master instead of a comedian.

I just googled and listened to it. That guy is hilarious! However, I still prefer Dean Martin’s version of it. Lol ;)

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Very funny version. 

Some radio stations this year banned this.

One of our participants is down in the dumps as the Grinch's at the US postal service claimed to have delivered his Santa gift. But alas no package was received.

 

Does anyone know the best way to get the post office off their collective butts do their jobs and find the package and deliver it to said recipient?

 

Worst case I will file a claim and send the new package.   My preference would be for the post office to find it and get it to our forum member before Christmas. 

 

Hopefully they just misdelivered it to a neighbor who will be kind enough to bring it to his house.

 

If anyone knows how to get the post office to find it let me know.

Oh, no! :( That's terrible.

Can't help, but good luck.

Some of the tracking say they are in airports and have not changed for 15 days. Not looking good but you never know I may get lucky.

I have had packages marked as delivered and they weren't. Everything goes in a locked mailbox. They tend to mysterious show up in a day or two, but yours showed it was delivered on the 4th which is a long time.

I really hope it gets found. :(

This happens in my neighborhood... I've always wondered if it's just us or is it a common thing all over.

I guess that wouldn't explain every such case but maybe it's possible. Of course, after that long a time, it would mean your neighbor who received it has decided to keep it!

But it's been almost two weeks, how long would one expect a neighbor to hold a package before they give it to you? :wacko:

Probably one of the greatest guitarists of all time. A beautiful version. @KimTexanI think you may like this.

 

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

My tastes are very eclectic. No one has posted any country music, besides “Grandma Got Run-over By a Reindeer.” 

 

This one is kind of cute. I use to love George Strait music when I was in my 20s

Had the same issue few month ago when i send fossil to @Max-fossils.

It was stuck at the airport in nederland for almost 3 weeks. I was worried that they lost the package but it suddenly reappeared in max mail box.

 

I agree with Adam, right now everything take time. I have not received yet the package max send me a good month ago.

Was he still playing when you were in your 20's?! ;)

 

I picked up a Lee Ann Womack Christmas CD last year. I think thats the only holiday album I have.

Ottmar Liebert's ( Flamenco guitarist) Christmas album is great for background music at a party.

Yes, George was still playing back then.

Are you into country music? You don’t necessarily strike me as one, but then again I have no clue what type of music you listen to.

I don't stick to any one genre of music. My tastes differ according to my mood.

Me too but it has to be a bit different or avant- garde to hold my interest for a long time .  Jazz and alternative rock probably  my favourites . :)
