Our County is trying to "discourage" them. With what power I have no idea. And this is an urban county. The results would be catastrophic.

If that’s the one I’m thinking of it’s actually the size of Manhattan!

Yes.

The USPS is an independent entity of the executive, not
a part of the "Department of Justice" and its magic ability to interpret the Constitution (or ignore it completely).

But these are the times we're living in.

It will be great PR for the USPS when someone opens their package and accidently blows their brains out.

I want to defend the USPS but it's getting increasingly more difficult to do when they won't defend themselves.

It kind of put things in perspective.

The Japanese are the Japanese. Do I get to spin the wheel and win a free washing machine?

It's always hotter in central Florida than the Gulf coast. I can image it is hot AF in Orlando. Spring weather was nice while it lasted. I believe we start out hurricane season June 1. I hope I'm living in a concrete block building by the time one hits. We had no hurricanes last year after getting walloped the previous year. I doubt we'll be as lucky again.

Well, it was predicted to me a high of 89 ° F, and the monitoring station that gives me the forecast (it's a subcontractor of The Weather Channel and 8used by Google) is always a higher forecast temperature at the airport to the north and to the east of where I live, and nope, I don't know the location of this monitoring station.

It always been up to 3° off, almost always adjusted to be higher than than the original forecast.

They're also in the habit of forecasting rain and then calling it off. That's happening today, predictably. Three hours of heavy rain has turned into there might be rain for a couple hours.

It would be more comfortable if there was moderate wind (13 mph+) but it's about 6 mph.

I guess this is the first summer day even though summer hasn't officially started.

Happy Birthday Day, Steve!

What a high price for a small diamond the cut of which is not particularly noteworthy. I think that this might say more about the market than about the diamond however rare the color.

I need an application to professional school about as much as I need a hole in my head. Respect for anyone who can get out of bed at that age. But for most of us who are old and getting older, windows of opportunities have closed or are closing because of exigent and heath factors. Maybe we should celebrate the normal as well as the extraordinary. Too many random factors enter into such outcomes as this to look at them as an ideal, in my opinion.

It it the second gutting. Who needs diplomacy when none of your former allies nor your enemies takes you seriously anymore? Who needs diplomacy when you have ineffective foreign policy that makes no sense anyway?

They look very nice! RM took a hacksaw to both our hoses and put them in the dumpster. It wasn't his finest hour. I can't replace them. Now I use buckets and scrub brushes or mops. I aways enjoyed spraying down the carport. It's something I watched my grandfather do in Tampa until he died. We also used to wash the cars. I won't be needing a hose in an apartment building but I like them a lot. Good for you!

Oh, good, tell me where (you think or believe) your intelligence and consciousness lie.

In my humanity. Is this rocket science?

I do but you didn't call on me.

It is true that most of us here are entering a phase where life will take more away from us than it gives us. I find that I need to try a bit harder to maintain social connections and work a lot more on health, but I think it is worth it. I hope I can continue. Most of all I hope to die before I have to be placed in a home, unable to do anything that resembles life to me.

I already have only a handful of living family members left and I'm close to none of them.

Correction: I'm close to one of them, my late aunt's cousin who's in her '80's and lives in Seattle.

I share Mik's desire to die before having to live a life without a certain quality of life.

Also, I don't want to suffer any protracted, painful treatments regimes for diseases when doing that could only lead to death.

I need to regroup by myself in a healthier environment and with more resources before I will be able to make significantly better health decisions and take significantly better actions accordingly.

Bernard, I've just been through the wringer you're describing: trust, trustee, secondary trustee, power of attorney, and medical power of attorney. It's a long, intensive, and expensive process. My advice is to take it step by step, be patient with yourself, take the time you need, and be encouraged that you will accomplish your goals. It can be confusing at times. It can be frustrating. It can seem endless. You'll get there, just don't rush anything. I'll be holding a good thought for you.

People suck.

Lol!
