Strange how certain sellers online will not ship to a PO box but we do not have delivery so then the post office worker gets pi$$y 'cuz it doesn't have our PO number on the package!!! strange....ya just can't convince some people that ya live in the country!!! Now the UPS man knows he can leave anything with anyone on the road and it will get picked up or delivered by the neighbor he left it with!!

Manchmal füttere ich die Katze, aber ich setzte immer den Tisch.

(Sometimes I feed the cat, but I always set the table)

I came up with the answer during the All or Nothing round and my team ended up winning 3601 to 3600. There was a 3rd team but they went bust.

Do you guys ever feel "left out"because sellers wont ship to PO boxes and you guys are "inelgible" to vote in shows like American Idol or Dancing with the stars or some big game show like that?

Gdude..man-guy is my other half, and I have other names for him at other times We have a street address, but no delivered mail here unless the whole road pitches in for one of those pigeon-hole boxes off the highway, which would probably be hit for sure in the winter by someone sliding into it or the grader taking it out or burying it. It is easier just to go to the PO, and usually I can do other things at the time and make my weekly or so trip like groceries, gas, etc. For ordering things that need a street address, FedEx and UPS deliver here. We also take our trash to the dump versus garbage service, as it is right off the highway from us, so much more cost effective to just run it over there.

Kenai had a whole bunch of people 'tea partying' on the main drag today!!!

I wonder where the seagulls around here winter? Just this past week they have been buzzing the Kenai bridge, and I just heard them today over my house. They had been gone from here pretty much since November....
