Okey doke, had to log back on just to say this.

I am so tired of thinking about this and posting about this. I am sure you all are tired of my whining too. I will handle this. I will. This weekend.

This is the last post about this matter on the main boards (or behind scenes) that I will ever mention this again.

Watch me go. Next post about anything to do with this will be in the happy thread.

Nights, all. It's going to be all good.

Let's all move on to the next angry person, hey?
(((My Friend, n_n)))

Another red note on the door! %&**&# room mate has not paid his half of the rent in the past 3 months, and that is a lot owed.

Just told me he paid on Saturday!

I am soo outta here. My car is looking good at this point.

I am eyeballin him. He is sleeping (again) down there with his perfect dyed and hair sprayed hair. Gives me the willies, it does.

Where do you live? Sleeping in a car is only good if you live in a sunny place. Anywho, I hope the best for you in your situation.

I am so freaking sick and tired of hearing/reading some white person (usually some white male person) say, "That's not racist! It's not racist if its American sovereignty, if its protecting America, if its for the good of America, if its..."

How about this, you get to say/post whatever the he11 you want about immigrants, POC, women (Ya'll tend to be misogynist as well. Big surprise.) whatever and I/we get to call you and your crap racist. How's that?

Are you referring to something said on these boards?

I remember someone in Tightwad Gazette saying that they got so tired of kids taking out their mailbox that they bought two mailboxes, one regular sized and the other oversized. They put the regular sized box inside the big box and cemented between the two. Then I think they cemented the whole thing to one of the big redwood posts and sunk it in the ground with more cement. Looked pretty normal, but the next kid who thought he'd be smart and play mailbox baseball ended up with a broken wrist. Problem solved :) If you're not willing to go that far (lol), have you checked with your local P.O. to see if you can get a dispensation to have your box on your house? I know that here, once it's moved to the road you can't go back to house delivery without petitioning.
Tightwad Gazette? That is great! You are the first person I have heard of who has read these books - I own both of them. They used to be like a Bible to me back in the 90s.

There are some extreme ideas in those books, but some really clever things, too! I got my favorite crustless quiche recipe from Tightwad :)

I know you didn't really do that.
You know the junk mail that comes with a reply envelope? In the past (in the 90s when I was a single parent and struggling a bit) I actually tried that trick.

The envelope will work (the glue has not been licked) but it only works with envelopes that do not have a lot of printing on them.

I told my sergeant at work and he was just blown away that anyone could be THAT cheap!

(and you have to tuck the glued side inside after licking it). I know - totally weird to even try it :facepalm:]

You also need a glue stick - overall just too extreme for most people.
