RN, I'm watching a video of a home movie made at a community celebration in 1963. The styles are hilarious, and I forgot that all the women wore skirts or dresses all the time.

Right now I am wondering why when I type on tvclubhouse lately some of the words are double-underlined in green and when I click on them they come up with some Obama stuff?

rn, just found out that a friend of mine just lost his baby. she was having contractions (she was due) and they did an ultrasound (guess that's pretty typical, idk?) and didn't find a heartbeat. it's his second child with his girlfriend...truly sad.

RN I feel like a big dork because I'm sitting here crying because my mailman just told me it was his last day. I am really gonna miss him! He was always so nice and friendly and just a great mailman. I get attached to people you know? :-(

RN Lori, when i was growing up, we had the same mailman and when we went on vacation we used to send him a postcard to our house. He used to love it. So I understand

RN, aww Lori, I understand :-)

When I worked at the grocery store I remember being so sad when our Hostess delivery guy got his route changed. I totally treasured that 10 minutes a day we got to interact when I checked the delivery. I still miss him.

RN Lori, I'm sorry. We went through every mailperson in town over the course of about 2 years, never seeing the same one more than a handful of times. Then 2, 2 and a half years ago we got a mailwoman and she's been here ever since. After not having a regular person for a couple of years (mail delivered to wrong houses, missed houses, etc) it's been so nice to have a regular person. She knows everyone, everyone knows and likes her, she knows the kids by name, and has taken letters simply addressed to "Santa" (no address at all, lol) and written replies on special paper, no less, and left them for the kids the next day. She's totally awesome and we'd really be sad if she were to leave us!

Heh, Naja, when I still worked at the retirement home, I got friendly with the linen delivery guy and the sales rep for one of our cleaning product companies. When he had surgery and was off work for a while I kept up on how his recovery was going through his replacement. When she had a baby, I made her a baby album and swaped baby clothes with her. Funny how well you can get to know people you see on such a limited basis.

RN I'm glad you guys didn't think I was nuts. lol

He was so sweet when he told me too. He said "It's been a pleasure Lori...don't worry, our paths will cross again" and shook my hand. I had to try hard not to turn into crazy crying lady in the hall. lol

RN, Lori, I was quite upset to lose my great mail carrier, Gail.. even though I was happy she and her DH were getting to retire.. she was just a ray of sunshine, even if I didn't talk to her, but just saw her walking by.

lori, i completely understand; and, i do think your paths will cross again in some way.

reminds me when i was about 4 years old. my Mom was painting the dining room. she fell off the ladder. i was the only one home (Dad at work and 3 older sisters at school). i remember seeing blood from her leg and started to get scared...then, suddenly here comes the milkman. (google milkman lol)

since she had the house "opened up" for painting, he saw her on the floor. he came in and picked her up and helped her. i've always remembered that day.

forward about 25 years. my Mom is working now and becomes friends with a co-worker (who is much younger). not sure when my Mom realized this, but she finds out her friend is the daughter of the milkman.

RN Lori, I know exactly how you are feeling. My mom cried when she lost her mailman of many years. Took her forever to get used to the new one.

RN, Yay Beckie!!! That is just wonderful! Now, you go be a star there, even if it is just an interim job.

RN, Lori, our mailman retired while we were in Texas this year, and we didn't even get to say goodbye really, although we said goodbye in September. And then last weekend or the weekend before, was the letter carrier's food drive, and we saw a red pickup truck in the neighborhood with a home-made USPS sign on it and thought that was odd. We were walking to the grocery store at the time. As we were walking back up the steep freaking hill from the grocery store, a red pickup truck slowed down to talk to us, and it was the same one I had seen earlier!! And we thought, we don't know anybody with a red pickup like that; they must want directions or something. We did not recognize the woman in the passenger's seat, and then the driver started talking to us, and it was our old mailman!!! And he was helping out picking up the food so the regular letter carrier didn't have to slow down her route collecting the food. How cool was that!?!?! So, yeah, you will see him again.

But it is really sweet that you cried. Being a letter carrier is one of those bittersweet jobs. Sometimes it can be pure living hell in the office with all the internal politics, backbiting, and management crap (my Daddy was a mailman) but if you do a good job out on the route, the customers more than make up for the office crapola.
