I felt SO incredibly sorry for you as you tried to repair that mailbox, while fighting the noisy traffic. And doing it all in the freezing cold, too. You have more gumption than I, that's for sure. Thankfully, my mailbox is attached to the side of my house. It sounds like you repaired it the best way possible and I am VERY proud of you, Jenn.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-83116902378744326562022-01-28T18:46:33.116-05:002022-01-28T18:46:33.116-05:00Hi Jenn, I have the worst trouble with your blog p...Hi Jenn, I have the worst trouble with your blog posts cutting out on me, so if I'm not commenting that's why.The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-23450466662603970632022-01-28T18:25:50.171-05:002022-01-28T18:25:50.171-05:00Good Grief!

I've seen some folks build a brick unit around their mailbox. Maybe you need two more trailcams to catch evil creatures coming, hitting, and recording a license plate number. Be careful!

I have a big planter out front and most summers someone will steal flowers and it really rattles me that they could do such a thing. Or someone tags the side of our brick building and it takes hours to clean off. You did well - just keep fighting back.RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-61563322791954615802022-01-28T11:53:06.110-05:002022-01-28T11:53:06.110-05:00Some people cannot resist having a go at anything....Some people cannot resist having a go at anything. Meanwhile, watch that tennis final this weekend, Guess who I really want to win the men's, and the women's????? On court drama, racquet smashing. I had thought their gear would be a lot more expensive than it really is, my old racquet way back in the 1950's had a wooden frame, and a wooden press with wing nuts to stop it warping during the week!!! Keep warm Jenn, don't get too stressed by silly antics, I knw a mail box is a very essential item, don't leave your trail cam anywhere near there in case it goes missing!!!Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-68297571919525059352022-01-28T11:10:56.077-05:002022-01-28T11:10:56.077-05:00You certainly have handywoman skills.

Then I bought a big rubberized mail box which so far has remained intact. I think people who don't respect the property of others don't respect themselves either.

What makes these idiots think it's fun to destroy a person's property? As a kid I never thought of doing something like that ever. You did a good job repairing it though! Those cars, that would worry me every time I was out near the road.
