Man, this recession is a lot worse than I thought!

Here's ,my two cents (pun intended)!!! Two pieces of cardboard not poster board cut to fit in the envelope snugly: approximately 1/2 inch less that size of envelope.  Tape quarter to one piece of cardboard and then tape cardboard pieces together.  This is from experience.  Was sending set of coins with siblings birthyear as a gag.  Tried 3 times and finally got through with cardboard, (not poster board),  without coins  "falling out" of the envelope.

[Doxherding Karen]

Yeah, it looked like it got squeezed out of one corner of the envelope!

Isn't it amazing how much of the mail will come through without a mark on it but put something round in it it all of the sudden it trashed???  My brother said that the two i sent to him first looked like someone wore through the envelope by using sand paper and when i taped the coins to poster board the coins slipped out through a corner that had mysteriously ripped off and the tap looked like it had been cut with a knife???  Now how would that happen . :thinik:  (extreme sarcasm intended)  The envelope sent with the cardboard went through without a scratch.   :thinik:

I especially love getting what is left of the mutilated mail offering, sealed in a clear plastic bag with a note printed on it:

"We at the USPS take the care and delivery of your mail very seriously."

And, they have no sense of humor, of which they are aware.

...as opposed to a gruntled postal worker?

And sometimes I wonder about the bubble wrap!  Many years ago, I made my sister a dress, but wasn't sure about the length, so I sent it with the hem just turned under and I stitched the raw edge, and then included a spool of matching thread.  When she got it, she called and asked what I had sent her, because she got the empty envelope - sigh!

Well, I know this is a really late reply but, I wonder if the person that "found Arkansas" in your envelope learned the trick I was taught.  At my bridal shower three years ago, the ladies of my church sent me household tips on notecards.  One of these tips was how to get into an envelope without leaving any evidence.  And after you looked into the envelope to see the letter, or get something out of it you can seal it up again with no problem.  Unfortunately, I lost that notecard so I can't remember the steps to do it.      It made it even more humorous that the tip was given to me by our pastor's wife.     Hmmm...    :scratch:

[Joey N Tobys Mom]

Okay, I was totally confused when I started reading this... I was thinking what the heck are they talking about?  What am I missing?

I figured it out though.  ;) 

That is too funny about the "tip" from the pastor's wife.  Hehe.
