When I finish typing and running off the Sunday Bulletins (with several inserts) I need to stack them and use a strong rubber band to hold them together until they are distributed on Sunday morning.
The rubber bands were for my oder brother in California. He uses up lots of rubber bands and he's always looking around for more of them so I thought he might enjoy getting a large bag of rubber bands. I know he received them but he's made no comment about whether he likes the rubber bands I gave him or not. It was kind of a joke present and he may not have commented as he may be embarassed about receiving rubber bands. Hopefully my present of rubber bands didn't embarass him. If it did I may need to apologize. Or perhaps he didn't comment as they were so insignificant to him.
