Any other redheads out there to join me? It's National Redhead Day!! All my cousins on mom’s side are redheads. My brothers and I have brown hair. |

Do you guys remember the shipping delays the last two holidays where items were ready to ship but shippers weren't picking them up because of contract limits with the retailers? Guess what. It's a thing this year too. I have four items with shipping labels created but not in the system yet, all from a week ago. I think that's the most I've seen at one time  All different retailers too, and 2 of those retailers ship really fast usually. I don't think it's the retailers. Oh joy. At least what I ordered isn't time sensitive and my remaining Christmas shopping will be at local stores in person.  Cloudy, humid and 82 on tap here today. Yuck. Guess I better go set the microwave and stove clocks back an hour. |

No problems with delays so far for me. I have bought from Chewy, Amazon, Skechers, Walgreens, and CVS and all have shipped out/arrived without any delays.
As long as Chewy and Amazon are not affected, it's all good for me.

I've noticed it with one retailer but not others. I'm more concerned with packages being delivered to the correct address. I've already witnessed Amazon deliveries twice being left at the wrong addresses.

I did have a quirk with Amazon. Somebody ordered a bag of Purina One kitten food off our Amazon Wish List along with a few other things. When the order came, a bag of Purina One Indoor Advantage came instead of the kitten food. I called Amazon and they said "So sorry, we will send a bag of Purina One kitten food". The box came and it was a bag of Purina One Tender Selects Blend. OK, never mind.  |

FedEx subcontractors were threatening a strike or slow down. Not sure what is going on with that. Add in the train contract and diesel fuel shortage.
They may be waiting to have full vehicles before leaving their depots.

We have a red headed son and 2 red headed grand-daughters. And I have 3 first cousins with red hair.
The son and his daughter with red hair have brown eyes. His hair has darkened to reddish tint brown and hers is starting to darken. She is now 26.
The other grand-daughter and my cousins have blue eyes and the light true red that just fades with age. Our son and grand-daughters have curly hair like both of us and our other son and all grand-children.

On my dad's side, he had 4 brothers (one died in Pearl Harbor). One brother had brown hair, married an Italian girl, the kids all had dark brown hair. The other brother had red hair, married a strawberry blonde, 2 of the kids have strawberry blonde hair, 2 are blonde. My dad is blonde, my brother and I both have blonde hair despite our mothers both were brunettes.
