I would never wish to assume any such thing. You mean that she likes THOSE movies?

Nah.

Hmm, you and I live a mile apart.

We share the same mail lady.

So the mail lady who holds onto my Netflix DVDs, is your mail lady who is plum crazy with bugs up her but?

I have never viewed her ---, her backside, I would not know if she kept bugs there or not.

.........that's something like our mail carrier. Some people hate their jobs, and some act like they "REALLY DO."

The other companies are not required by law to deliver everyday. They either hold it or deliver it to the local post office to be delivered. Besides charging you a surcharge for living out where we wish to be.

I remember seeing a lot of rural mail carriers in Maine driving Subaru wagons and if I remember correctly, they were set up for driving from the right side of the vehicle.

Up here in the St.John River Valley we get our mail through airplane drop boxes. LOL!!! One time per month the government drops off supplies and bandaids for us to use. During the winter we have found yeti's with backpacks hiking across the frozen tundra with packages under their arms. ROTFLOL!!! This is sooo funny. In all seriousness I would encourage everybody who wonders to come and visit us. It is truely a delightful area with beauty that is often untouched yet by mankind. It is truely a special place and everybody knows your name. There is lot's to do if you love the outdoors, art, or peace and quiet.

When we moved here at the end of winter we had our mail held at the post office as there was no mail box and the ground was still frozen; we were going to rent a box but they were very willing to hold it for us.....they said they do that for lots of folks because the plows wipe out their mail box.....and/or they suggested we get a saw horse and attatch a mail box to it with budgie cords.

I remember the USPostal service being much more regulation conscious and less user friendly back in the city!
