When Tom Wakefield started PostalMag.com more than two decades ago, the Dallas-based letter carrier simply wanted to provide a resource for colleagues about their U.S. Postal Service benefits and how to access them. Few websites provided comprehensive information and the ones that did weren’t updated frequently. Today, PostalMag.com is a trusted platform read by postal…

We have a new format, but we’re still here! :slight_smile:

took me a while to figure out how to sign in to the new format but I think I got it. Or I just got lucky. Or they could tell I’m stupid and just let me in

Bucky, can you get word to Godzilla and the rest and tell them where we’re at? By the way, where are we anyway?

PS… I hope you get this, not sure I’m doing it right…

at first glance, it doesn’t look any better than the old site. maybe one topic to comment on every year at best. a shame the people who choose to run this site won’t do a better job to enhance it. But I guess it’s better than nothing. as of right now

Hi BK! I’m still trying to figure out the commenting part, but working on it. However, if you somehow get back to the VERY first page of this thing, to where it says Postal Mag… there is a picture of the new editor in the middle, says Postal Mag on the Right Side, and POSTAL NEWS on the LEFT SIDE— just like how our old site was… you have to go to the very first page of this thing where on top it has tabs saying Freight Waves, Modern Shipper, American Shipper, etc. Click on Postal Mag… this is going to take some getting used to, but I don’t give up easy! LOL. I hope all the others make their way over here! :slight_smile:

BK, I’m clicking hearts as a thumbs up now as I guess they don’t have thumbs up around here yet… or if they do I don’t see it. They have a TON of emoji’s though, if you click the smile on top of the comment box, a whole section comes up under “more”… :nerd_face: :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :blush: :clown_face: :rofl: :mailbox_with_mail: :email: :face_with_spiral_eyes: :+1:----- And there’s the thumbs up! :grinning: And also your crown! :crown:

what’s right for you might be left to me :smile:

I found the crown, so it’s okay… I think your old one was getting rusted anyway! I wonder if Charles is picking up the rest of the crew right about now in his lime green Pinto, and they should be arriving here any time?? :green_circle: :red_car: :+1:

Real gold never rusts Bucky. And my gold is real. nothing fake about me unlike the red headed clown. He’s not a true redhead you know? I think Charles came by my house last night after I went to sleep. he left some marihuana by my front door. you can have it if you want. Should I mail it to you? :laughing:

I hadn’t been here in a long time. And when I came back, everything was different. But I see some friendly faces. BurgerKing, I wondered if you were still working. Or, rather, are you still employed at the Post Office? I believe I may have told you I delivered to Ronald McDonald. Well, he moved out of state.

Good to see you Bucky. Dang.

Hey BQ… great to see you! I’m so glad some of our group are finding us over here! If you know of a way to tell the others we are here, please do! I prefer the old site, but I guess this is where we are now… LOL. DANG! :slight_smile:

I work at my own speed which is slow. but I get the job done eventually. glad you found this new site. I think it’s just you and me and Bucky as of right now. But from the ashes rises the Phoenix. We shall start out small but eventually become bigger than what we were. I told Ronald to get lost and I’m glad he took my advice. He’s no good. He’ll tell you all kinds of things but mean none of them. Beware of red headed clowns :smile:

I keep punching in postalmag out of habit but finally found my way to this place. I recall the story about this guy who died and found himself in Hell. He walked up to the devil and said " this isn’t what I was hoping for but I might as well make the most of it". I see you still have your smiling face which I recognize immediately. It’s very distinctive . Mystical in a way you might say :laughing:
