anyway, with some the scammers grabbing mail out of mailboxes (home and even the USPS boxes), it's probably better to not rely on the mailman to take the mail out of your mailbox.

Geez, I have to resort to Google.  I'm deeply disappointed that Duckduckgo is basically a skin of MS Bing.

A little over a year ago I redid the decking and balusters on my deck.  That left me with quite a pile of wood. I had also accumulated 25+ years of stuff in the basement.  I had a 20 cubic foot dumpster brought in and filled it quite easily.  Still have stuff to get rid of. I've sold a lot of stuff on FB Marketplace and Nextdoor.  Nobody wants to buy china or collector plates or plated silver goods.  I did manage to sell  our sterling silver silverware we never really used to a silver and gold place. Got pretty good money for it.

I shouldn’t start threads when I’m really hungry.

So the people that paid their college loans back on time like me and many others get to finance the deadbeats. The responsible American Citizen is screwed, yet again, by the Democrats.  I hate them and the UniParty.

I've moved all over the country for work. Fortunately, I've always stayed in a place for years, sometimes several. Maybe four or five moves. CO, CA, KY, CT, PA, etc. I still have boxes in my basement unopened from years and years ago that I really don't know what's in, but I know I just can't get rid of them.   ::)

I have outgoing mail.  I put the flag up.  The mail person comes and puts incoming mail in the box and drives off without taking the outgoing.

This NEVER used to happen.  What the fucking fuck is wrong with people anymore?
You could live in the Atlanta area where the huge new ultra modern sorting facility they built causes us not get mail for weeks.

My wife and I have two small plastic containers with the letters we wrote each other when she was back in Florida and I was in Illinois.  We sat down one night to read through some and didn't get far.

I have a plastic box containing all the letters my grandfather wrote to my grandmother from France during WWI.  This was the same set of grandparents that got married in 1916.

My wife has EVERY email I ever sent her from the day we met to the day we got married.  I have her's as well.  Way easier to store bits.

I have all my parent's and grandparent's photo albums.  I'm scanning in the pictures to make it easier to share with the sibs.  Once scanned, then trashed.  I have way more room on my disk drive than in my house.  Considering taking pictures of the "treasures" that I'm keeping around then donating / trashing them.  I haven't gone that far yet, but it seems like a good thing.
