Whoever put the box in, did not put the correct box. There is only one parcel locker and far too many mailboxes. One neighbor heard from another neighbor that we each owe $200 but she will not pay. I contacted another neighbor to tell him what she said. He said he tracked down the mailman and was told that a USPS guy named Dave installed it and we have to call him. He was given a 206 area code number. We are 425 here. Talk about muddy waters! Dang. Sooo complicated. And I can't do a thing till Mon. now. |

But nobody knows who that person is and that person has made no attempt to contact us. There are 9 boxes. So 9 neighbors. There are 5 of us in contact with each other. We did not agree to anything. Now if the USPS put it in and charges us nothing, fine. Otherwise... Problem. If a neighbor did it, they should have contacted us. There are various styles, colors, companies who sell them, etc. We agreed to nothing. One neighbor can't just take it upon themselves to do something without asking, then expect us to pay. |

No one can get their mail now and we have no idea who this person is. But the guy next door said a USPS person named Dave installed it. Don't know who he is either! |

Addressed > to "my kind neighbour who replaced our shared mailbox", And yet... Our mailman told Ross, my neighbor, that a USPS person named Dave put it in. We don't know him. I have his phone number but will have to wait till Mon. to call it. |

Well you have three choices, > find the neighbour and pay, or tape up the box, or install your own next > to it! Mailboxes can only be installed in certain places as approved by the post office. The post office owns all mailboxes regardless of who put them in. So not allowed to tape it up. Have now been told that a post office person named Dave put the box in. Nobody seems to know for sure what is going on. Three of us asked at the same post office and we all three got different answers. |

My friend had something similar happen but with email. His ISP kept emailing him instructions on how to get his email working. |

I like tap water in the winter but in summer it's a bit too warm. I use a 32 ounce cup for water. In the summer, I'll add one or two ice cubes just to chill it a bit. |

I believe you are mistaken as I have never once ever seen that sort of main course served in Italy at a restaurant, home or wedding. > It is their version of English cooking. I'm lost. Do you mean the Italian serve up what you describe and say "this is an English dish"? It certainly isn't an Italian main course to serve "over cooked cheap roast of beef, baked chicken pieces, peas and carrots and roasted potatoes". Italian cuisine is exceptionaly regional and I know of no region where that roast beef, chicken, peas, carrots and roast potatoes is served. However it is routinely served in Britain, albeit with either beef or chicken. > dinner you get proper roast beef dinner with good gravy and Yorkshire > pudding, and you will have a choice of rare to well done, not slabs of > dried out grey beef.

I remember Kate Smith. She could certainly belt out a song. Didn't even need a microphone in a large stadium. heh heh Somewhat irritating voice to me though. I would never listen to a Kate Smith recording at home. |

Your President still sets the tone and verbally abuses governors who didn't want to open fast enough. Those governors were right. The mayor of Amsterdam also allowed a BLM demonstration to happen during the Covid crisis. She was so keen to show how politically correct she was that she endangered public health in the process. Stupidity is international, but Trump takes the cake. |

I'd go for "America the Beautiful" despite its mention of God in every stanza. "God Bless America" is a complete non-starter for me. I'd probably prefer "This Land Is Your Land". It's easier to sing, too. Cindy Hamilton Cindy Hamilton |

What instument did you play? I played the cornet and I now have that back but my lip muscles have died after 50 years. Can't even get a note out of the darn thing. (just need to practice) And yes, I could probably still play that from memory too. Also all the John Phillip Sousa marches. I was also troop bugler in Boy Scouts. I still remember most of those bugle things. One thing I haven't forgotten is how to read sheet music (as applied to cornet). I still remember all the fingering for all the notes. |

"God Bless America" is a complete non-starter for me. Old times. I do remember in my early elementary school years, every morning the class said the "Lord's Prayer" and the "Pledge of Allegiance". Don't really recall when the prayer ended but it did. I wonder if "Pledge of Allegiance" is still said. Never thought to ask my daughter during her school years. Haven't asked about my grandsons either. |

Must be bulemic. Also... you keep showing that EVOO in your pictures lately. Worth every bit of $2.22 per quart. Is that for my benefit? lol That's a great example of "fake news" or deceptive advertising. Discription as "Robust" is a joke. |
