AHG Badge Help – Special Delivery #8

Posted on March 30, 2020 by

Today I thought I would continue sharing a few resources I have for the Special Delivery Merit Badge.

The first stamp ever created is known as a “Penny Black”.  Issued in 1840 in England under the reign of Queen Victoria.  This stamp changed communication not only in England but around the world. Continue reading →

AHG Badge Help – Special Delivery #1

Posted on March 27, 2020 by

As I child I began collecting stamps. It is something my father still enjoys.  I was a little disheartened to see that AHG was discontinuing the Special Delivery Merit Badge.  I realize that the times have changed and society no longer uses snail mail.  Writing letters is a lost art form.

Personally, my family has been relying on the US Postal System more in the last 6 months then we have in a very long time.  With my son in the Army now, snail mail has been the only way we can communicate with him during his initial training.  I find myself waiting for the mailman to come each day, in hopes of a letter from my son.  Enough rambling and on to today’s merit badge help – Special Delivery requirement #1… Continue reading →

With Covid-19 going on, it does not look like there will be any trips to the beaches of Florida anytime soon.  So instead, I thought I would bring a piece of the beach to me.  So sitting on the bookcase is Flo the Flamingo. Continue reading →

Not So Wordless Wednesday

Posted on March 18, 2020 by

Wednesdays are usually devoted to a photo that I have taken that I thought you might enjoy.  Today, I thought I would change it up.  While browsing Facebook this weekend I found something very disturbing.

Personally, I have issues with toilet seat covers. They are a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty stuff – but why would you buy a used one!!!  Once you get past the idea of a used toilet seat cover, I want to point out a few flaws with this item…

  1. Notice the dark stain on the rear of the seat.
  2. This item appears to be a toilet lid cover that someone has cut a hole in and placed on the seat – notice the ragged edges.
  3. If you look closely you will notice a wad of what appears to be paper in the bottom of the commode.
  4. $15 – you can purchase a new one on Amazon without stains for less than that.

What is this world coming too!  Really people! With Coronavirus going around you think this was a good idea!
