BoqueteBug Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Bonnie, can you elaborate on your comment about the drugs/cosmetics ordering "law" having been resolved? I don't order a lot of those items but if the gov't has lifted/softened it's crack down on those items, I'd like to know! Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx This is based solely on a number of reports from different people who have said that their medications or cosmetics no longer are being delayed. Also, in the past I received a lot of complaints in my role as Warden, but I’ve received none in the last two months or more. The whole thing seems to have died down.

BoqueteBug Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Good to hear. Thx Bonnie. Servitechnics is handling a recent order from an online drugstore for just a few items I cannot find here and it doesn't seem to have been delayed, except for being during the holidays.

NewsLady Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 If you own property or anticipate buying property, you must attend this talk. Even your 20 year tax exemption will run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
