Aww. Those stories give me hope. Thanks, WindSparrow.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Laga, insent with possible kitty home.
And at home, the boxes were next to the driveway, so you couldn't really park in front of them anyway (or the complaint would be the driveway, not the mailbox)
The postal workers need at least 10 feet on either side of the mailbox in order to get the postal truck up to it. Even more room is even better. Saves them from having to park the vehicle and get out at each house.
ETA: The space needn't be clear around the clock, but it's best to wait until the mail has been delivered before parking close to a mail box. Naturally, when visiting someone else, one should happily accept cues on when it is ok to park near a mail box.
Thanks Pix! Backflung.
Kitty update: Mom & Dad agreed to take her for a week. Mom says she hopes Dad will fall in love and want to keep her.
Laga, long ago my brother got me a cat when we were living in a no pet apartment. Manager found out and I begged my mom to take the cat, she agreed but my dad flipped the heck out (he said he wasn't a cat person). Mom won, mostly because I told them it would only be a few weeks. After 2 weeks, when I asked for the cat back, my dad said "nope, she's mine now". They had her for 10 years, and the day after she passed away, he was at the shelter adopting a kitten... so much for him not being a cat person! So there's hope!
I love that story!
He loved that cat and she knew it. He even built an elaborate cat tree/ledge thing in the living room because that was where the best windows were so she could see the whole neighborhood.
awesome!
Intermission @ 7:15 is strange.
