Forever Postage Stamps . . . Or Are They?

[JLB]

Here you are talking like this on, of all days, our 25th Anniversary!!!

And how did we spend it, you ask?

Well, golf with the big boys followed by dinner with friends from a certain other timeshare forum.

Nothing says 25 years of appreciation and love like a nice cut of beef!

I periodically think about those ill times and how you got through it. I am glad that you were able to extricate yourself from their mean and petty lives.

But, what's a little chunk change?

I thought you were talking about what we paid them to get them to stop harassing us. That was the answer the high-dollar mediator and her attorney friend came up with. The mediator said, "Gosh, it seems so little just to pay them, and get on with your life, even if you don't owe them a penny."

What they are doing now is just hanging out with each other, the harassing of us being stares and evil looks. Sure, one of em still hangs out behind the bushes every now and then, beer in hand, staring, but most of the things they have done have come back to bite them in the ----.

But, I know what you mean about their lack of focus now, and how empty it must seem to not have a reason to get up every day.

Although we did not get to use them in court this time, they know we still have all the video and audio recordings and they know what is on them. Since this problem has been going on for 15 years in our neighborhood, and it is now on the record, that and the recordings should be enough to stop them from harassing us or anyone else.

Nice digression, as I think we have run out of things to say about forever stamps and the Postal Service. :cool.

Other than still living amongst the crazies, very little about my life is the same.

I spend most of my time with a much broader group of people at the country club/golf course. About a third of the membership live on the lake, and we are called Lake Trash.

We often talk about the lake and docks and such, enough to know that we were not wrong about our position and that those in charge of our neighborhood are the exception to the rule. The others that I talk to about docks see things the same as me/us. They are quite normal and easy to communicate with, and none of them have a problem with me. They don't bully their neighbors and they don't make a big deal about docks and neighborhood rules and stuff like that.

I people I am spending time with all have a lot of friends.

In a nutshell, I have more of life now than I did then, but those who are hateful to us here just have the same old bunch to hang out with. Their habits haven't changed. The staring and childishness still is going on. Yesterday the ringleader was hanging out with the asst. ringleader, and he just peed out in the open, outside, then turned around to make sure I saw him.

Talk about trash...

Today I had a 2-ounce letter to mail. Postage is $.59. I put on two Forever $.41 stamps, cuz a didn't have an 18-center laying around.

Wonder how many do that, put on too much postage for a 2-ouncer?

Wonder when I'll get my refund?

Man, these hot dogs really taste good. Who says your taste buds go dead when you get old?

Maybe it's just the tasetbuds of Keystone Light drinkers! That would make sense . . .

Your reading me as I do it all the time & never got any change back!!!!

Well, maybe the next time the Postmistress demands her penny I'll say I have credit for 18, and let her wonder.

Hey, whattya know about Rotonda? Is it a decent place?

[The Conch Man]

Haven't got a clue!!!!

[JLB]

We'll find out in January.
