What Does Your Mailbox Say About You?

Hi Bonita,  It's interesting to me to hear about different areas mailboxes.  Here in Melbourne Florida we have mailboxes all over the place.  I suppose I never really thought about some have to really travel to find individual boxes.  Good to know.  Thanks for the info.

Hi Li,  How are you today?  Hope business is going well for you right now.  We do find many distinctive mailboxes here where we live.  That's interesting that people give names to their homes, as a signature of who lives there.  I have seen that in the mountains of North Carolina where my parents live in the summer.  Thanks so much for the comment, and so nice to hear from you again!

Hi Fred, We keep hearing from the comments coming in that everyone has a plain mailbox.  Where the heck are all the people with the fun mailboxes?  That's what I want to know?  Now, I have a hard time believing that YOU are older than dirt -tell me then whose picture you're using in your blog - huh -got'cha didn't I?  See, you're not older than dirt!  Funny I just got my new business cards delivered yesterday.  My picture on them was taken 12 years ago (how time flies). My blogs all have my updated picture on them. You are correct, today we must watch our mail and our identities also. Thanks for checking in.

Hi Chris, Now I have to say, I would love to see the donkey mailbox -that has to be hysterical!  I just think it's fun to see what people have for a box.  Well, my yellow cream colored mailbox no longer has a red flag, I just went ahead and painted the flag yellow.  I suppose it's really time for a new box -but why spend the money - a new coat of paint makes it look perfect!  Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sharon, I know that some mailboxes are set across the street for some people. No fun to do anything special with it there. I have seen some of those crazy fish mailboxes that you are talking about.  We have a lot of marine life and fish and nautical themes because we have so many bodies of water around us here in Melbourne.  I have seen some really neat boxes.  I do agree, that your mailbox tells a story. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Ann, You crack me up everytime I read one of your comments!  Thanks!  Hmmm...what does the turtle say...well, let's think about this...the house is 2 blocks from the beach and people on the beach love the sea turtles that come up on the beach and lay eggs...so maybe it says that they love living on the beach and they love the turtles (oh, heck, I don't know - I'm guessing LOL). Someone hit your mailbox with their car?  Uh oh - I have two tenants that got their mailboxes smashed with baseball bats.  Nice, huh?  Does that say they live in a dangerous neighborhood, or does it say that the people that hit them love playing baseball (kidding). Thanks for the laugh!  You're too funny!

Hi Suzanne, Boy that's nice for you!  We have some older neighborhoods where the box is still on  the house.  However, the post office is trying to do away with those boxes.  So, they are sending notices when the home changes hands and asking that a box be put out on the curb.  Some people are not real receptive to that idea.  They like the old fashioned way better!   Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

Hi Ann, Okay, we'll just say they love playing baseball with mailboxes then.  Uh-oh, sounds like you've got a bit of difficulty with a mailbox-hating neighbor.  If I were you, I'd watch out for him (LOL).  Take care and have fun.  Talk to you soon!

Hi Marie, Your comment cracked me up. I guess if I had an idiot that kept hitting my box, then I wouldn't buy anything special either!  Why bother...all that comes is bills... and bills aren't fun anyway, are they?  Thanks for sharing and glad to hear from you!

Hi Sandi, Sometimes our 'to do' list just gets so long, doesn't it?  Good luck on getting a new one.
