Let us know when you're moved in & we'll have you a house warming party of parties,
We'll have a really delicious pot luck table & even have loot bags with smarties!
Maybe I'll bring my famous meat ball surprise that everyone seems to enjoy,
Or maybe I'll make us some finger foods & ask the bartender to make us a Rob Roy,
Do you need any dishes or maybe some tupperware that has its own lids,
Do you need any kitchen gadgets that help to chop & slap what do you all think kids?
Left at the Legion was once the way, but how do we get there now?
It's gonna be great to get together & have some welcome to your new home chow.

hi all....I just heard this story in the news. I often wonder what the " inner dialogue " is that goes on within an employee's head when knowingly day after day, year after year they dig themselves deeper in shirking their responsibilities. I know we have seen many stories where mail was not delivered but I am still both dumbfounded and fascinated that many of these employees think that one day they might " get around to cleaning it all up? "
So sad.

NEW YORK - Tens of thousands of letters, packages and junk mail found stashed in a U.S. postal carrier's New York City apartment will soon get delivered, some of them nearly a decade after they were mailed, prosecutors said on Friday.

Joseph Brucato, 67, a carrier with the United States Postal Service since 2001, is accused of illegally keeping about 40,000 letters and parcels that were due for delivery on his route in the borough of Brooklyn.
"The mail will be put back into the mail stream for delivery," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York said in a statement.
Investigators released images of the retrieved mail showing bundles of unopened letters in envelopes of varying sizes, rolled-up magazines and stacks of coupon booklets.
The suspected hoarding came to light this week when a post office supervisor spotted what appeared to be undelivered letters inside Brucato's personal vehicle and questioned him, according to a complaint filed on Wednesday.
Brucato told his supervisors that the mail found in his car had been there for at least six months, "and that on some days, he did not deliver the mail intended for his route for various personal reasons," the complaint said.
He then agreed to a search of his car, work locker and home, where a total of about 2,500 pounds of mail dating as far back as 2005 was retrieved, the complaint said.
Calls to Brucato's attorney and post office officials were not returned on Friday.
The most serious charge Brucato is facing is the delay or destruction of mail or newspapers, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Prosecutors have up to 30 days from filing the complaint to press charges against Brucato.

Good morning! Well, it looks like our recent summer weather has come to a screeching halt. Very drizzly and dull out there; what a change from the hot days we've had recently!
Hubby's gone to drive our grandson to Science North "spy camp" today, since it's a PA day here....I'm not sure if he'll try to squeeze in another golf day with it looking so miserable out there.

Have a happy day, everyone, and I hope it's still summer out there for some of you!

Good morning! 6 degrees this morning....Jenny and I are snuggled on the sofa, hubby's at the kids' house, supervising a scuba-diver who's going to search for the hole or holes in their pool-liner that's been causing the water to drain out....I didn't know anything like that existed!

Dental cleanings later today, physio tomorrow and I have to ask her why my knee feels worse than two weeks ago. Is it because I'm asking more of it lately, or do more pins have to be removed? I guess my surgeon will make that decision on the 14th....

I hope you all stay safe, warm and dry today! Happy day, everyone!
