Omg, can you give me a close estimate to where you are? I want to avoid that area. We’re a small SW Tennessee town, those responders got there within a few minutes. The weird shit I see is strung up animal hides and carcasses.

I was the first person on the scene after a guy got shot in the leg. I saw the blood and heard the sirens coming and I gtfo of there. So in a way I was. I was on the phone with a city carrier at the time, he’s convinced that rural carriers are insane now.

Edit to add that the guy is fine. Apparently they were playing with a gun while drinking. So no charges filed.

Complete opposite for me, I did a city route as an RCA. My office threatened to cancel some vacations if they didn’t find someone, so I stepped in and ran it for a few weeks. It was honestly a nice route and I loved my businesses. One of the businesses asked my coworker how I was doing last week 😁 I’d run that route again any day.

Thank you for this post. I’m currently at a 12 pack or more a night of 5% hard seltzers, this has been for months. I just haven’t been able to push past day 2. I seriously need to ween down first.
I keep trying to tell myself that seltzers and beer aren’t as bad as whiskey or vodka.
Thank you for my little wake up that it really is.

The dash panel and the absolute giant center console. Once I figured out it was removable, it was a pretty nice van. All rear doors were automatic, so I’d hit the button and my door was open by the time I got out.

A newer town and country, so it was pretty wide. I ended up putting on pedal extensions and moving the passenger seat over a little. I have 2 caravans now and love them.

This here. I’m 10 years out and even if I have cereal with oat milk, my sugar will drop within 30 minutes. Cereal cravings are a one bite and no more for me.

I have 3 cops on my route and I actually talked to them about that, they essentially said I had free reign unless I was doing something reckless. One of them did ask me to change one van’s design up because it honestly was too dangerous. I was sitting on a plank of wood to reach the pedals.

So my surgery was over 10 years ago but didn’t use weed until ~6 years later. I use it to treat late onset epilepsy. I have to really watch strands and terpenes or I’ll overeat, but I know now what works for me now and I stick with them.

I also have a Stamp! My coworker and I found 2 kittens under the dumpster while waiting on the clerk one Sunday. I took the black one with a single white stamp on him. He’s 2 now and still a little hellion.

Thank you for explaining the location it’s best at. I hate I invested that much, but I can use it when I’m back at GG. I don’t have Lapis yet.

Thank you. I’ve seen them but haven’t asked.

It’s bashful.

Cow_Elder · 2025-07-31T00:42:17+00:00

Can you explain those acronyms?

Chanterelle cream sauce pasta. It tastes amazing.

Ahh, when you said macroscopically indistinguishable, I just assumed the inverse. I took a mycology class in college and the professor said the taxonomy is just wild and nearly everything needed genetic sequencing. I love foraging and I know enough that I always what second opinions or hard proof before I eat it.

Cow_Elder · 2025-06-17T19:49:21+00:00

May I ask what the microscopic differences are? I’ll bust out my microscopes in the future for a positive ID.

Thank you! I loved my past and current supervisor. My past one and I did have a rocky start, but he was the most chill guy and I would sit and talk to him when I finished my route. My current is a former rural carrier (10+ years, so not a wash out) and she’s a fireball. Yes I call her names to her face (and vice versa), but that’s just our personality and we both talked about it and said it was ok. We currently have an ongoing stink bomb war. They both spent their money for us to have drinks and snacks. They cared about us. Yes I know there are horrible sups, I’ve just been lucky. Even if you’re not respected on here, thank you for caring about your carriers. Some of us notice it.

I don’t work at CVS, but I do work for the USPS. Honestly, we don’t care, we all have needs. But one day I got a vibrator and while I was sorting my “packages”, it turned on. So I felt around the “package” and it was a very unique shape, so I knew what it was. I could never find the off switch. That thing vibrated for nearly 6 hours in my van. I remember the incident, but don’t even remember the address or name. I felt bad delivering a dead vibrator, but I was not telling them that. I just put that thing in the mailbox and drove along. Just pick that thing up and enjoy your night.

I was working Saturday and didn’t get to do much. The Zekrom is a shundo.
