TY!

I will be glued to Free Republic.

I canceled my physical therapy for today oh, it is pouring out and my mailman is an idiot. He will stick packages in the rain oh, shove them into the mailbox so tight that I can’t even get them out, even folded up a large envelope and stuck it in the receptacle where the newspaper is supposed to go. And then the newspaper carrier had nowhere to put it.

I’m expecting some packages today and don’t want them ruined. So I figured I would stay home and intercept them.

Funny, UPS and FedEx always gets it right here. But I’ve had horrible USPS mail carriers in California and now in Tennessee. I guess job security makes people complacent and irresponsible.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

Your last sentence sums up the whole situation.

Several years ago when I started buying more on line...my mailman threatened me saying he was stopping the delivery of packages. He would leave them downtown for me to pick up. He was sitting them on the bench below my box. So I went to Home Depot and bought this large apartment box. Also keeping the bench below the box.

I've had several different mailmen since and none have approached me about leaving packages in the box or on the bench. They see I have made an effort. Sometimes they deliver my mail and packages before walking the street. The expense was well worth not having to drive several miles every time I have a package. There are only 2 walking streets in our subdivision. Hopefully it will never change.

They do sell Large Rural mailboxes.
