Update on my wife's family business 

Faithful Ad Limina readers will be aware of my family's 'coming into' a massive volume of Cabbage Patch Kids (tm) last August, much to my own chagrin. You will also be happy to know that nearly all of them have been happily shipped off to greater idiots than ourselves through that wonderful expediter of trash, Ebay. Yet the ride has not always been a smooth one, especially as I administer my wife's email account. To give you a tiny sampling of the kind of correspondence I deal with daily, I offer you the following transcript of the sale of one (1) Cabbage Patch Kid. ('Danielle', below, is my lovely wife.)

Hi, this is Danielle. You asked me when your cpk was mailed. She was mailed on the 1st of February priority mail, so she should already be there. If she is not there by the end of the week please let me know. Thanks, Danielle.

Hello Danielle, I still haven't recieved the little Asian CPK. You're right. It should have been here long ago since it was sent priority. I can't imagine what's wrong and don't know what I need to do to find out. I just thought I would let you know that the doll hasn't arrived yet. Thank you,
buyer

Hi, the CPK didn't arrive today either. I went to the post office and they're suppossed to investigate it for me. Have you taken your reciept for mailing to your post office to report it? The mail man told me to advice you to do so. They said if they're to blame they can track it with a receipt. If you would let me know something I'd appreciate it. Thank you,
buyer

Hello,

I just called the post office. They said that, since insurance was not selected for the shipping, they cannot track it until thirty days have passed. I can continue to follow up...
