Ever So Annoying!

Besides that stupid, stupid, dog that barks everyday is the ever so annoying postman or postwoman or person who delivers our mail. Today for the record billionth time, since moving to Eagle Rock, the mailperson delivered our mail wrong! This time they got the numbers right but they totally gave me mail for someone on a different street! Friggin' Loser! I mean, how hard is it to read an address and deposit the mail into the mail slot? It's not a very hard concept one would think, but apparently, it's the hardest thing in the world for our mail person!

Lucky me, our mail person gets it wrong, oh, at least once a month! It's so bad, that the Post Master General of Eagle Rock now knows my name and she always says the same thing when I call, "Again? (with a sigh) I spoke to them about that last week." I guess I just have the stupidest mail carrier ever! Can someone reissue the United States Post office test to this person? I am curious as to what's on this test as it certainly doesn't test for friggin' common sense or eye-hand coordination, or the ability to read!

Let's see, they delivered my $80 prescription to my dead neighbor's house. I only found that a month later sitting on her porch after arguing with the prescription's company for like an hour on why I didn't want to pay another $80 bucks for something I never got in the first place!!! I don't know how many times I get home to find my mail on my picnic table obviously delivered by some kind neighbor. I even get "the guy down the street's" work checks every so often. Which he doesn't seem too worried about (if they were mine, I would be worried). I have gotten mail for people two doors down. That was the day the mail was off at everyone's house by two houses. I mean how the hell does that happen? Two doors off. Loser.

It so bad I thought I'd help the incompetent carrier out by writing my address on a piece of paper and taping it to my mail box, you know, just in case looking at the numbers on the side of my house was too much of a stretch. That seemed to work until today. They got the numbers right but delivered the mail for the wrong street. No one takes pride in the details anymore. It's a pity.

What am I to do? The dog, the mail, I give up! Okay neighborhood you got me. The joke is funny, ha, ha. What is a home maker to do? Maybe, I should set that goddam dog after my goddam postman! They'd make a perfect pair!

Maybe you should make your return address on any bills or letters, etc. one of you neighbors and see if gets delivered to you by accident!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
