Well if there is insurance then that's not too bad but still just the thought of a good guitar getting thrown around whether it's FedEx or UPS is a bit disturbing to me.

This is true, but I also suspect when packages are handed over to UPS etc, they generally go on automated handling equipment and I would not doubt if the boxes zoom along and get to a point where they just drop in a pile to go elsewhere and this is how most damage occurs.

Funny story...my Mom went to Florida when I was 14. Left me to take care of myself. No biggie I was a street smart kid.
She comes home and crashes because of the long drive. Me and a friend of mine see some koolaid in the fridge and drink
about 12oz each. Before anything starts to happen my Mom had come in the kitchen and notice missing said koolaid
and freaked out! I said "Mom, it's only koolaid for christ sake" right before I joined Alice...

She was a lot of fun to grow up with, but sometimes it was hard to tell who the adult was...my friends sure loved to hang out at my house though!
 
I have some funny drinkin stories.

Once a buddy and I were parting out a Ford Van at a lady friend's house. She would tell us stories. One day she told us about her alcoholic husband who came home one night and saw a pot on her stove that she had Potpourri in. He thought it was soup and ate it.
 
Another time I was in Daytona and we were visiting an elderly lady friend. She'd tell us stories too. She was a riot too.

Her husband was also an alcoholic. She told us when he'd drink, he'd get hyper talkative. So one time he got that way and was almost passed out on the couch or bed. She put crazy glue on his lips. He woke the next morning with a sour taste in his mouth and his lips weren't too stuck to talk. He told her, " I don't remember what all I drank last night, but it sure made my mouth taste terrible"

Another story she told us was when he would fool around on her. She threatened him if he didn't stop, she get even. So she went out on a date, then brought him home and they were necking in the driveway. Her husband saw this and said WTF? She replied, " when you stop, I'll stop" then resumed necking.

LOL I just remembered some of my Middle and High School stories too. Today teachers would get arrested for doing fun stuff like we used to do.

I still remember in Middle school our History/Social Studies teacher used to have a bad azz van. He'd make a shuttle out of it and gather up a few of us fellas and haul us off to another teacher friend's house. That house was one of our classmates but also his mom happened to be a French teacher at our school.
We'd all just hang out a few hours, and I presume the adults shot the breeze etc. My favorite part of the van ride was the teacher had a cool P/A speaker he'd broadcast funny stuff to pedestrians etc as we'd pass by.

Then in High School, another teacher was the mom of a couple girls in our grade and a few older ones. We'd go over her house and jam to Neil Young or all manner of R n R, she'd even take us to rock concerts, like her plus 3 of us dudes LOL.
I can still remember a VH concert and a Blue Oyster Cult and Aldo Nova one. Funniest part is she was such a nice lady and yet she had seen all the biggest bands from the 60's till we went in around 1981. She also liked football and joked that the players weren't so big!!! Haha She was a biggun herself. A biology teacher she was. Once when our assignment was to prick our finger and do a blood typing test, one kind of jokester knuckhead kid refused. She came to me and said," you hate Dave don't you?" She then said I'll hold him, you stick him!!" HAHA I think he wound up with 3 holes in his finger by my tentative sticking attempts.

HAHA I woke at 3 AM, did some dishes, made a cup of coffee and turned on the weather channel which was showing the gulf coast of FL. Then they posted rainfall totals for Thurs Fri and Lakeland topped the list @ 7.35 inches for the 2 days.
