Sylvia, we have had really good luck with the mails through all of this. The only CD that was delayed was from Japan -- and apparently the Japanese post just didn't go to the States for a while.

We have a chain of supermarkets here who use branded Monopoly contest coupons as a promotion. It's annoying. They'll hand you game pieces whether you want them or not and I usually just dump 'em on the counter while walking out with my purchases.

sometimes they ask 'are you playing the Monopoly game?' and I'll say, 'the only monopoly game I want to play ends with the little man's head in a basket'.

Solo Monopoly is bleak, though. Then again, I will play solo Arkham Horror. Maybe I shouldn't throw stones.

Yes. I too have played that supermarket version. I get all the pieces except for the last one on the less prizes and the last two on the bigger prizes. Such a scam. But I did win a packet of free gravy mix.

Off topic here, but my wife and I had rearranged our schedules today to meet with a contractor for finishing some siding on our house. He calls my wife and says he's in our yard and asks why didn't we answer the door. Turns out he was in a different yard 35 MILES FROM HERE! What in the world address he was using, I have no idea. It's not like we live on something common like Main Street. Our road is named after a half-mile long river (Little Magothy) that was named by the small Native American tribe that populated our county before we ran them off.
