has ANYONE received their Dec. Journal???????

[MiLo Minis]

I'm guessing it has as much to do with the postal service as anything else because, unless the Journal is sent out late, I pretty much always get it in the right month. I did pay the extra $20 for first class postage, though, and I think that makes a big difference. I usually get mine quite a bit sooner than most of my friends up here in Canada.

I think you must be just getting lucky Judy cause I tried paying for first class postage this year and I still get mine really late - after my sister who didn't pay the extra and everyone else it seems like! I am not going to bother wasting the money again this year and have gone back to regular post.

Waiting each day for it to come and mailman just came Friday Dec.29 and NO JOURNAL :no: :nono: :new_argue:

l went down for my mail and low and behold l got my OCTOBER lssue..now l wonder how many months for the Dec. one. Sure not as big and flashy as the MHW. :bgrin

 

[hhpminis]

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival as all of you are, however...

This puts the editor between a rock and a hard place as everyone wants their ad in, especially this one as it lets us all relive our hard earned awards at nationals, yet we all push the deadline, some more than others. Do you want to be the one that is told, I'm sorry your ad cant go in because it was a day late, or your graphics weren't in on time even though you reserved it in time, or the show photographer was only able to get 60 pictures for us and you were picture 61. There are many many other factors involved other than just getting it in the mail and Amy works so hard to please everyone.

Our only other option would be for her to be a hard nose and the deadline is the deadline and so sorry if you cant get your ducks in a row on time.

I know it will get here, eventually. I also know mistakes happen. I also know that when mistakes have happened to me, I have had to speak up, sometimes even do followup to get it corrected. I guess it all boils down to what we have been hashing out in a lot of threads lately. Get involved, speak up, and follow the rules. We may not get our way all the time but we will understand why.

I guess I know how personally Amy takes all this and it is easy to sit behind a computer screen and throw stones. I also know that it hurts when they are directed at you.

Thanks for all your hard work Amy!

 

[Amy]

I also agree that Amy tries to please as many as is possible & works very hard at it. She does a very good job.

Also we have NOT received our Miniature Horse World either so one is no later than the other.

Hope Journal comes this week. Does anone know Why it is so late? My guess is that it was because of slow photos from Nationals and having to cover convention which was held AFTER THE deadline for the stuff to come in to be included in the Dec. issue. I might be wrong about the convention coverage, but I think it is usually in the Dec. issue. I feel that the AMHR Nationals should be top priority of this issue. It is three and a half months after Nationals and no results out. I couldn't even find it on the web-site the other day.

This is in no way intended to knock Amy, I don't know how she does it, as she has to include what the office and board tells her to and please the rest of us also.

I also feel so bad for those who did Christmas Greeting ads and feel they should be reimbursed. I don't buy that bad postal service excuse all the time. All of our other magazines seem to come on time. Renee LaBarre Reiten

 

[Lisa-Ruff N Tuff Minis]

You can still find all the National show results at horseshowsonline.com

 

[LaVern]

Thanks Lisa. Wonder how they get our results and not our own office. Or perhaps they do it for AMHR Should be a link on our website to this web-site maybe.

 

[Belinda]

Thanks Lisa. Wonder how they get our results and not our own office. Or perhaps they do it for AMHR Should be a link on our website to this web-site maybe.

They have the results because that is the show program that Lennard uses to do the show.. They have taken the results page down as they do every year , because OUR PROGRAM for the show department is OUTDATED !!! :no: and that is the only way to start the new show year and on and on

:

: But on the bright side we are working very hard to get a UP TO DATE in the 21st Century :lol: Program .,, Please just hang in with us, You think it drives us crazy I am sure you should try working with it..

Also on the note of the Journal and Amy , yes it is late, Amy emailed me and her MOM has been in the hospital very very ill. As I am sure you all or most know Carolyn. And then she as said before had to wait on all the minutes and such of the meeting.

Then for the last hurdle , Amy was waiting on the board to approve her a new computer and such ,as hers was way out dated and making the job run very slow.. So she got all those things done in the month that is full of Holidays and such also.. So we all should be getting our Journals when the mail decides to run again..

Oh, Thanks Belinda, It is so nice to have someone to tell us these things, before we jump the gun as I sometimes do. Great Job of keeping us informed. Glad you are a director. Glad everything is working out with new computer stuff and best of wishes to Amy's Mom.

 

[chandab]

Well, if they've been mailed and you didn't receive your Journal on Saturday, you'll have to wait til at least Wednesday, now... Today is New Year's Day, so it's a holiday and tomorrow is Ford's funeral and the government has decided to close office, so no mail tomorrow either.

:no: And, I live in the country and only get mail three times a week, so I won't get mine before Thursday.

 

[Amy]

We have no mail service here on Boxing day either (Dec.26th) so that along with Ford's funeral (which I would not have thought of ) maeks a few extra days here . Oh well, I know I will enjoy it from cover to cover when ever it gets here.

I am sorry to hear Amy's mom is ill -- no one needs that at Christmas time. How is she doing? anyone know??
