Walmart sells mailboxes for less than $20. The mounting post costs $15 or so. While there, buy a 6 pack for the gardener, and I bet he'll have it done in less than an hour. |

It sounds like she is describing one of those neighborhood setups where a series of locked boxes are attached to a concrete pillar. Each locking box belongs to a particular house and the mail man has the master key. These aren't typical Walmart mail boxes. BTW, a mailbox for less than $20 these days? Not around here. Janet US |

I call and it takes them 2-3 weeks to install a new one. I just need to place those stickum house numbers on it. The USPS is not reponsible for wrecked mailboxes. We only have a country mailbox at the road so people will know where we live but we get our mail at a PO Box in the post office. It's annoying that they keep raising the price, a PO Box used to cost $15/year, now it's up to $45. It should be free as it saves them from having to deliver our mail, we need to pick it up at the PO. |

It's setting the wooden post that needs a power auger... it's impossible to dig a post hole manually in road shoulders through all that compressed stone. In fact when a snow plow shears off a wooden post at ground level it won't easily come out. Have to wait till spring for the ground to thaw and even then the sheared off post is difficult to pull out... need to screw in an eye bolt and winch it out. Still a lot easier than using an auger to make a new hole in compressed stone. Been there several times, I know the routine. |

You need a cluster box to meet USPS regulations. They will have three to five of them together here https://www.mailboxes.com/cluster-box-unit-12-a-size-doors-type-ii-white-usps/ |

Your statement was clear, and I too thought it would work until the moment I put it all together. It's not that you weren't clear, it's just that you didn't think it through and see firsthand that it wasn't going to work. And now you're backpedaling defending your fart multiple times when my first response was pretty gentle. > so, yes, a mistake on my part and i admit that > not being clearer could have messed up someone > else.

It probably DOES sound odd outside of it but 'aunt' or 'uncle' may have become something racist long ago but words change ib usage all the time. In the roaring 20's to call someone 'gay' meant they were light hearted and full of fun. Today, totally different. Calling any one 'aunt or 'uncle' who actually isn't fell out of common use when I was about 20 but it's still used today. It has no connotation of color attached. It is related to 'a person so close to your parents they could be brother or sister' hence 'Aunt' or 'Uncle'. Aunt is more common. It's used by a younger person to refer to them by first name but with a respect title. |

Like my ancestors, who were captured in battle in 1679 in England, charged with treason and sold as indentured servants to a tobacco farmer in Virginia. If the captain of the ship hadn't died during the voyage and the man who assumed command hadn't changed the course of the ship, they'd have been treated no better than any other slave. They were bought and paid for. Jill |

That sounds a little weird for the American South. It's perfectly normal on this rock. |

They were > bought and paid for. Yep. Forget about the taxation without representation and the other issues that most American school children were indoctrinated into accepting as fact. A significant portion of the population of the American colonies were indentured servants who dealt with years of virtual slavery, and another significant portion of the population were convicts who had been transported to the colonies as punishment. After the revolution the British had to start sending their riffraff to Australia. There was no love lost between the convicts and indentured slaves and jolly old England. |

| Dave Smith <adavid.smith@sympatico.ca>: Jun 21 09:03PM -0400 We went to my son's to brunch this morning. He and his girlfriend moved into their new house about two months ago about a month into the pandemic and lock down. so we had not been able to visit. The were supposed to go to Peru in May and he planned to propose to her there. The trip was cancelled but he proposed after they moved into the new place. Brunch was scrambled eggs with spinach and hot sauce and really nice sourdough bread with cream cheese and smoked trout. We came home for supper and Megatron grilled a nice big TBone steak that we shared. I got the filet and she got the loin. It was big enough that we could not finish it between the two of us. It was served with fresh local asparagus and salad with blue cheese dressing, and a bottle of Gamay Noir made by a local outstanding winemaker.It had been a present from my nephew who is an old friend of the wine maker. |

J/k of course. > Nellie My guess is that you were in the wrong Kailua since we don't have any black sand beaches on my particular rock. You were probably there in the wrong time too because the tourists haven't been coming to Kailua for very long. Are you a really pale Japanese type person? My understanding is that Japan rock stars visit the restaurants and blog about it and their fans go to these restaurants. It's an interesting thing. I try to avoid going to Waikiki because it's a tourist spot. These days I like to avoid going to Kailua. My guess is that the locals avoiding tourists spots is a fairly common and natural thing around the world. It's nothing personal. As it goes, tourism has dropped to zero these days and it'll take years for this rock to get back on its feet so rest assured that we're gonna get whats coming to us. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/05/18/hawaii-news/kailua-shops-depend-on-local-support-to-stay-afloat/ |
