But maybe it’s a little too small. . . ? Huh…that’s odd. Well, as my wife just said, “Ah, if it winds up only being an inch smaller, that’d be fine with me.” Then I started snickering. Then she hit me. ---

I sent your letter out this afternoon. It should only take a few days to get there. So, by Monday HAYLA should be SHAYLA. ---

I’m glad an S showed up, because there wasn’t one at my “most local” Walmart. I am sure I will be heading to a “less local” one in a week or so; I’ll see if they have a seven incher. ---

It’s painful and I try to do it first thing in the morning before I actually wake up. If there’s a caveat, it’s not perfect. Perfect means nothing is wrong, everything is right. So you have a good job, with a drawback or three…as do we all. 😉 ---

Update – Good news: Woohoo!! The “S” has arrived, and it’s exactly the same size as the other letters! Bad news: Someone in the Postal Service was a bit clumsy, since it’s busted into a pair of "C"s. Good news: I own a tube of Crazy Glue. 🙂 I’ll be gluing it back together tonight, and once it’s painted you’ll never even know it was cracked. Pictures to follow over the weekend. Thanks a ton, **Bear\_Nenno** …you rock! ---

No problem at all. > [@](#): > > The “S” has arrived, and it’s exactly the same size as the other letters! Hmmmm, maybe it was the angle. I hear if you look at it in the mirror, it looks bigger. . . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/attention-wal-mart-shoppers/347726.md?page=1)
