Lori, our mail carrier is a fellow animal-lover on the route. She fills us in on the strays she knows of or adopts, and we let her know what room we have to help. She is a great friend of all our kitties and brings them treats. They love her, as do we. I'm not surprised you are upset, life hands us these special people when we least expect them. It is a blessing that you recognize it.

RN Thanks GAL. You're right... life does that sometimes and it really is a gift. It's amazing how much someone can influence someone's life when you only see them a few minutes a week. Goes to show you how far kindness goes. It's pretty special. Denecee...you are too!!

RN, I just let my dogs out for last time tonight, and decided to step outside with them because it's such a wonderful evening. I took a quick look to the right, and there was the neighbor guy...nekked as a jaybird, stepping into their hottub. I came back into the house as fast as I could.

RN I think the question here, Naja, is was he worth seeing nekked or do you now need eyeball bleach?

RN--- Oh gosh, he is a little handsome I guess, but more like a little brother, so it was uncomfortable and definitely NOT sexy (for me I mean).

RN, a little more mailman talk. My Daddy died young and was still on the job. You should have seen the flowers at the funeral home! We didn't know who a lot of the people were, but they sure loved their mailman. If he had lived, he would be on this message board right now now as our most witty, brilliant, funny, and lovable 93 year old. I would have shown him how to use computers at about age 80, and he would have been off to the races.

RN - you guys have every right to complain about losing your postal carrier. BUT, I'm losing my POST OFFICE! It has been declared as a "structurally unsound foundation". It's only been here since 1887. It's a very tiny place and has "limited" hours, no stamp machine and only one "window" for service. But effective 6/1 I will have to drive an additional 2.5 miles to our "neighboring" Post Office! Well, at least I do drive. Some people in my area walk, drive their lawn tractors, bicycles and even electric mobile chairs to our Post Office. Most of those people are elderly and it makes me sad that they will now have to make other plans. It really is sad, but perhaps this other office will provide better service. Trying to look on the bright side.

RN. I had a post office like that. The boxes had number dials for combinations. The people who worked there knew everyone. No matter how badly addressed the letter was, you got your mail.

RN we still have a teeny, tiny post office like that. We got a big, brand new one a few years ago, but the little one is still there.

RN Juju, your post got me all teary-eyed. I wish we all could have known your dad. He sure sounds really special. Oldtex, I'm sorry you're losing your post office.

RN...I just came in from moving my car from the garage to the driveway and a little mouse ran from one side of my front window, across the wiper blades, to the other side. And even though he was kinda cute....Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

RN, oops, forgot my rn ^^. CG, we had chipmunks (I think) under the hood up near the windshield. Lots of acorns, pine needles, and the insulating stuff pulled off from the inside of the hood. A nice, warm, toasty place to nest.

RN Colossus just surprised me with a tandem bicycle. I've wanted one for years and he's refused to get one because he says he'd have to do all the peddling. Which is true, but I still wanted one. This is going to be so much fun!!!!!!!
