I used to live om Elm street. There was a company sending me catalogs. I
would get 2 or each catalog. Both to the same name and address, except
one would have the street as "Elm" and the other as "Eln". Since it's a
small town and there's no Eln street (maybe because its too hard to
pronounce), the mail carrier knew what to do.

Well I never knew that. R.E.M. didn't actually sing "are you goofin' on Elm Street baby":

For history, Elm St. was a black neighborhood on the outskirts of Dallas
and the area became known as 'Deep Ellum' following the local
pronunciation. There are a lot of versions of Deep Ellum, or sometimes
Elem, Blues.

Then it got gentrified... Now you really better keep your money in your

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.

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

Sorry. "Don't have boxes at all" means "everyone".

I've been thinking about differences between the US
and the UK. We have millions and millions of houses with
no sidewalks between them. I wasn't able to readily
discover how many millions.

On my street (as an example), the speed limit is 72 kph,
which means most people drive 88 kph. Without sidewalks,
it's really a gamble whether a pedestrian will be mown down.

The time it takes to drive from house to house, get out
of the vehicle, walk up to the house, deliver the mail,
walk back to the vehicle and get in it, then drive to
the next house (etc.) is cost-prohibitive. Better to
drive down the street, stuff the mail in the box at
the side of the road, and proceed. It costs us about
2/3 as much to send an ordinary letter as it does you.

Plenty of people in big cities have mail slots, where
it is cost-effective (and traditional) to have them.

Just out of curiosity, I googled the population and land
mass sizes for the US and UK:

UK: 64.1 million people / 94,058 square miles
US: 318.9 million people / 3.797 million square miles

It really is very different here.

These days you can put a camera in the box pretty cheaply, if you
already have cameras around the house. You could power it with a solar
collector. You might also get a picture of the guy who steals your

No, I was referring to America having boxes in some areas/states where the houses are spaced out, and not in cities. But in the UK no areas are boxes. Boxes are just a few people here and there not wanting a slot into their house (usually worried about dog eating mail etc).

I misheard a lot of stuff in the song at the beginning of "All In The
Family", including "Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoo Maracken"
and "Ye are all the sour and grate".

For history, Elm St. was a black neighborhood on the outskirts of Dallas
and the area became known as 'Deep Ellum' following the local
pronunciation. There are a lot of versions of Deep Ellum, or sometimes
Elem, Blues.

For several years, I lived in Denton, which is close (next county) to
Dallas. I remember hearing "Deep Ellum" a lot (as first I thought I was
hearing "Debellum").

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.


One advantage of outside exercise it it's not as easy to quit (you still
have to get home), so you're likely to get more exercise.

You don't see the problem with killing each other?

Survival of the fittest. Considering the demographics of who is killing
whom, it might improve the gene pool.

Fittest and most accurate with a gun are not the same thing.

Surviving to reproduce is the only criteria. The West fails to
understand that basic concept. Little side projects like inventing
driverless cars mean nothing in the long run if you cannot conserve the
genetic heritage.

Muslims from 3rd World countries are invading then breeding like rabbits while the native population of Western 1st World countries are having few if any children. Anyone who says Caucasians need to have more children is called a racist. It could come to pass in my lifetime that the native people of Western countries go to war with the invasive species from the Muslim world. Lots of guns will be used. ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜

The Muslims use weapons too. They outnumber the yanks and will destroy you.

We have tactical nukes which will allow us to kill large numbers of the invasive species. Those crazy fother muckers don't care if they die anyway. Mothers send their children on suicide missions so the only way to control them is to kill them all. ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ

Nuke em where they spawned. Kill them in their native countries then start the purge of the First World. A roundup with a spay and neuter program to keep their numbers down would work. ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜

Nah. The brit would love Minot, ND. Cold wouldn't bother him! He
might need an anchored rope to get to his mailbox so he doesn't get
lost in a blizzard. "Freezin' is the reason." Or Maybe Fargo?
