No, it's too early - the Post Office doesn't open until either 8:30 or 9:00, so I haven't gone yet. But I've put it in the envelope, with the address on it.

You know last night, I thought "do I need a customs form on this", and of course the answer is no, but I started doubting myself.

It's going good IMO, and even that two-error play in Game 1 I scored correctly, barring an RBI to Encarnacion (on the interference, I gave none to start with).

And no, there isn't anything comparable - you just write down the teams and scorers on a bit of paper.

I think I might break down and buy FM2007 if its only $30. And after I had sworn I wouldnt. Im a litlle disgusted with myself. Ill try to read some of the reviews first but I can almost guarantee they are all glowing. Do we have an EPL game today?

BTW..You are in 3rd place in our fantasy league. Congrats.

I don't know what the reviews are like tbh.

And no, we don't have any games in the Premiership today.

Thanks.

And obviously my previous post had nothing quotable in it then.

Sorry..

..its late and I am half asleep

. I knew you would do great scoring because of your statistic background.

Doesnt the postman come to your house to deliver and pick up the mail? Do you really have to go to the post office?

Yes, you do have to go to the post office to send mail internationally.

Isnt there some kind of international stamp you could just buy? They like to make things hard for people, dont they?

No there isn't an international stamp. I think it may have to be weighed as well.

Unless you are planning some sort of a Vincent VanGogh suprise, it should be under a half ounce.

. I hope your IBS isnt flaring up.

No, I had one of my tablets that I was given from the doctor before I ate last night (as I was getting spasms after eating for the past couple of days - ie. a "bad period"), and they worked very well, I hardly felt anything, so I can take those if I need them.

As for the letter, no it is only one sheet of white paper.

Obviously, I've wrote on it, and it actually fills the whole one side of paper.
I always think writing on white paper, rather than lined, looks better, although trying to use guide-lines when the paper is thick is interesting to say the least.

Do you think the same?

Im too sloppy a writer to use plain paper..or to ever attempt much writing. I tend to write to fast and my letters become unrecognizable. And without lines, the sentences start to veer off in an angle.

But I totally agree it looks better if you have writing skills.

it must be cool to have people like you enough that they write to you.

We'll see if they do or not. I think it's odds on that they won't, but you never know.

Do you have neat handwriting? Ive regressed to printing as it allows me to write faster. Its funny. My Dad wass an engineer and he was very neat and precise. Im oriented almost 180 degrees differently. Its like his genes arent in me.

I think it's quite neat, although sometimes I make letters bigger than the rest. The likes of "curls" on g or j, and on "two direction letters" like s.

Did you write out your dynasty reports by hand before typing them?

No, I just typed them on the computer.

Yes, I was. I just ran out of ideas to carry it on. I don't think a stats-orientated dynasty is that popular tbh.

Maybe you should do it out of personal love and dedication rather thanpopularity.

. Baseball is very stat driven anyway. I think once you stop trying to develop ideas they will come to you. Funny how the mind works.

I think I stopped it around the time I started to get the symptoms of what proved to be IBS.

Anyway, I must go now to get into town before everyone else gets there, so I can get into the post office when there is still just a short queue. See ya later.

Put a piece of lined paper under the plain paper the lines will show through.
