If he had asked to wear a sombrero and his boxers while putting it up, I wouldn’t have cared! Just needed it in place. 😊 I’m not allowed to touch the big tools…I’ve asked repeatedly for him to show me how to use the saw and nail gun…he always says later…when we are not rushed on a project. I have a feeling later means never! He has seen my antics with the glue gun and now the heat gun. I’m permanently banned! Love and hugs!

But at least you see now why I’m never allowed to use power tools…no jigsaw, no circular saw, no nail gun…everything becomes a potential weapon in my hand and he tries to minimize as much damage as he can.

I love the bronze with all those little sparklies in it. What a horrible ordeal! And no surprise she kept on going…they do most of the time without ever looking up from their phones!

My neighbor told me that they saw him out in them and she told her husband he needed to get him some…LOL <br /><br />They are important and are so abused! Remember when you didn’t really have to have a mailbox…everyone just went to the post office? We lived on what was called a “Rural Route” when I was a kid and we didn’t have a mailbox for quite some time. And those blasted things are expensive…to get one that some kid walking by can’t destroy. That is pretty awesome to have one that opens from both sides. Unfortunately, we can’t put any mail to be mailed because it gets stolen. They don’t steal the mail the postman leaves thought…very strange!<br /><br />My dad used to weave some great stories together…guess I learned some of it from him! 😊 Love and hugs sweet friend and thank you again!<br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-51567513015513663302018-10-30T13:55:29.167-05:002018-10-30T13:55:29.167-05:00Ok...first of all, as far as the overalls go, I sa...Ok...first of all, as far as the overalls go, I say whatever it takes to get them to DIY, it's worth it. Secondly, yeah, that would be me. I don't mess with any "tools" other than a glue gun. I consider my sewing machine a power tool. And it hates me. I'm glad you didn't burn your house down and your mailbox does look fabulous!!

To cheer you up, I tell this story: My ex once had an electric shaver with a loose cord. It was O-Dark-Hundred in the morning as he was getting ready to go to work. When his shaver cord slipped off his shaver yet again...he bit down on the end of the cord (other end plugged in to the outlet) and woke up slammed against the far wall of the bathroom! I laughed till I peed my pregnant pants. He did not appreciate it as he had no sense of humor. That's why he's the ex.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-14690073422406162242018-10-29T15:51:01.329-05:002018-10-29T15:51:01.329-05:00LOL girl you are now going to be banned from the s...LOL girl you are now going to be banned from the stove and eggs and also the mail box!!!

The overalls are very attractive on your HH (handsome husband). I do like the new mailbox. Well done! It is very similar to the one the Urban Farmer put up after some fool, texting on her phone, came around the corner too fast and crashed into our mailbox. She drove on down the street, streaming water and oil. P.S. I follow a lady whose husband wears his overalls everywhere, even on their Alaskan cruise. Actually they are very practical...no plumber's crack...Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-2236681567457878182018-10-29T08:58:31.234-05:002018-10-29T08:58:31.234-05:00Loving your new mailbox but let me tell you that t...Loving your new mailbox but let me tell you that this post gave me a good laugh.

Can't you just see them on some young thing on the cover of GQ soon? <br /><br />Mailboxes are important, aren't they? Out here in the country where half of them are bashed in or whacked crooked, people tend to leave them as long as the mail stays dry. We were the only people on our side of the street who still had their mailbox on the opposite side when we moved in, a sure giveaway that the previous owners had a good-enough-is-good-enough attitude about pretty much everything. But walking across the road was something we were used to from Valley View so RH left it that way about a year. This summer he finally went through the process of getting permission from the post office to move it to our side of the road and bought one that opens from both sides, a brilliant idea.<br /><br />But your new mailbox looks spit-and-polish clean and sharp, Benita. No one would ever guess how close it came to burning your house down, and giving us an entertaining story in the process--something you do in tall Texas style, my dear, for a gal from Alabama, that is!<br /><br />Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.com
