I have smelt and eaten meat. It's revolting.

Corn is what food eats.

Spoken like a true yankee dumbass.

That's funny coming from a guy that lives in a country where people
can't remember to check their mail unless it's lying on the floor
where they can see it.

The Tofu fartin' fairy can't figure many things out.

Why give yourself extra things to do? You pay the mail company to deliver mail, then have to go fetch it yourself?!


Frigging idiot. What's your definition of "fetch"?

I grab it on the way in. It's no more effort than picking it up off of
the floor. Then, in your case, you have to fumigate it because of how
nasty your floor is.

You pay the mail company to deliver mail and then you pay for wasted heat
because of that hole in your door. Well, maybe not. You probably found an
old rotted piece of wood in somebody's garbage and call it a door. The
hole probably makes little to no difference.

Our letterboxes on our houses have a flap that shuts automatically as
soon as the letters go through the flap.

A spring is far too complicated a device for an American to understand. Stop making fun of them!

Frigging idiot. What's the R value of the spring loaded flap vs. the rest of
the door? Of course, in your case, the metal flap probably provides more
insulation than the termite ridden slab of wood you use as a door.

Most of us have another plastic flap on the inside of the door.
There is no draught and the heat loss through such a small opening is of
course neglible.

Unless you live in the city, your mail carrier never gets out of the
truck.

Well, not exactly. It's not just city vs. rural. There is an in-between.

I don't live within the city borders. I live in a town with roughly 25K
houses. Very, very few have mailboxes accessible from the road. Most have
mailboxes mounted outside the front door. Some of the newer tracts within
the town have street side mailboxes, but that is a small number compared
to the rest of the town.

I do my carrier a favor by snow blowing a path across the front of my house
so she has a clear path from my neighbor's door to mine. Saves her trudging
through deep snow or walking back and forth from the street. It may be a nit
in her overall walking, but she's thanked me for it as did the previous,
now retired, carrier.
