gave her a clue, "Camptown Racetrack 5 miles long". She thought about it
for awhile, and said "Oh I get it, we're having southern fried chicken".

Horses are pets or working partners on a ranch so they, like dogs, are
considered taboo by society.

I don't see any problem eating horse meat. It's something you'd find on the menu in many European countries. I may have eaten some and not known it.

I eat dead cow all the time.

The only thing I eat raw are fruits and vegetables that are palatable in an uncooked state. I like my dead animals cooked. I won't eat raw seafood like oysters and I've never eaten sushi. I like smoked oysters and any fish that's cooked. Freshwater catfish and crayfish are quite popular here in the Southern States. I love my pasta with bits of dead animals in the sauce. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Save all the postage paid envelopes from the junk mail. Stuff each one
with stuff from another.
Put out in your mail box for pickup.
When you look and see the flag down you know mail has
went by.


Here, they ignore the flag and don't put it down.

One interesting junk-mail thing here comes on some Thursdays. That's the
day for curbside recycling pickup here. If mail comes first, I can
transfer most of it directly to the recycling container.

Note that some of the junk mail (from charities) comes with a little
money inside (usually just a nickel, but I have found $2 bills), so you
might want to look first.

How do they know the difference between the flag for them to collect, and the flag for you to collect?

The flag for them to collect is red (and its appearance is probably
regulated by the Office of the Postmaster General). On my mailbox,
the one for me is yellow.

Are they manually erected then? I can't se how the box distinguishes otherwise, I thought it was a weight sensor.

Somebody must be buying these, or amazon.co.uk wouldn't sell them:

That reminds me of a Puerto Rican who couldn't say "cheese" right. It
sounded like "chiss".


I had a lot of customers who were recent immigrants from different countries. I asked them if they would laugh at me if I went to their home country and tried to speak their language. They wouldn't admit it but I insisted that they would be rolling on the floor laughing at me. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

The silly part is the people paying good money to go to gyms to
workout.
They won't take the steps or park at the far corner of a business
parking lot.
Walking is a money saver compared to seeing a heart surgeon.
There was an advertisement for a gym years ago that bragged about their
front door parking.

When I want exercise, I drive to the countryside and go running and swimming. Outdoors, free, fresh air, nobody in my way, nice scenery. Exercising inside a building is a ****ing stupid idea.

What do you do when there's 1.5 metres of snow on the ground and the
temperature is -20 C ?

Do you really think that the fat slob frigging idiot troll actually exercises?


Certainly. He can hammer curl 2 kilo Tesco bags full of crisps for
hours, pausing only for a snack or two.

I ain't fat. Derby dad is a well known ****wit troll with the mental age of a goldfish.

How do they know the difference between the flag for them to collect,
and the flag for you to collect?


Maybe this has already been answered but here I put the flag up if there is
mail to be picked up. The PO puts it down after delivery. The PO doesn't
put any flag up to signal they put mail in the box - I alwaus have to check
to see if I have mail. There are gadgets to tell you remotely if the
mailbox has been opened but if you had mail in the box for pickup that
wouldn't signal you that delivered mail had been left.

I always though you had a flag to see if it was worth walking over to get your mail. Easy enough to have a moveable base to the container that lifts a flag.

A few times I found a $2 bill on junk mail (IIRC always from a "charity"
wanting more in return).

WTF? How can that possibly work?


I guess you're supposed to feel guilty about keeping the $2 bill,
instead of sending them a big check. The same thing with the address
labels, calendars, and other junk they send.

BTW, I got over 30 of those "free" 2017 calendars.

I'm pretty sure there would be way more people who won't donate than those who will, so they lose out. The most they give away here is a pen to fill in the form.

I have 5 cats that come and go and spend a lot of time inside. And 1

gets leaves and go knows what else caught in there. Thankfully he isn't
here often, when he is I can smell him. Next time I get a hold of him
he's getting a shampoo followed by a severe trim.


I used to think it was impossible to have a cat that couldn't wash
himself. Now I know someone who has one. He seems to like being cleaned
with baby wipes.

This one is useless. He doesn't understand his long fur (which is unusual). A blast with the shower and a hair trimmer every couple of weeks solves the problem of hygiene. He actually likes the hair trimmer, as it vibrates and massages him, but the shower scares the **** out of him and he tries to destroy the shower and myself.
