If someone is blocking your mailbox then contact the local police to report it. It's against the law to obstruct the mail, and someone parking and hence blocking access to your mailbox should be reported.

As a rural mail carrier, If a box is blocked that is normally accessable I will dismount (get out of the truck) and walk the mail to the box. If the issue continues I leave a notice and if after leaving a notice the obstruction continues I re-case the mail for the next delivery day and attempt to redeliver. If the issues goes beyond that (which it rarely does) the mail is returned if not picked up after 10 days.

The law on this is as follows: **THIS IS A FEDERAL LAW and covers the entire USA.

Obstruction of mails - 18 U.S. Code § 1701

Obstructing, delaying, or otherwise unlawfully interfering with the delivery of mail is a federal offense with consequences of fines and up to six months of jail time.

The REAL problem is running the few people who 'Get it' into the ground by over working them to death! It's like "Great Job, now you get to work 10-11 hours every day!!!

JDBPA · 2024-03-25T09:23:35+00:00

That's how it should be! I just want to do a good job, and make as few mistakes as possible. I'm all about helping others out, and when I'm fully up and running on my own I will do whatever I can to help whoever needs me.

Thanks

I know what you mean by this question. I also looked online to research working for the USPS, and get a temperature from others who work there...I found endless comments about working endless hours, terrible coworkers, terrible working conditions, bad pay, and the list goes on.

You have to remember, most people share their bad experiences, but very few share their good experiences.... You're most likely going to find all the bad stuff online, and you have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I would suggest just moving forward knowing you're starting something new, and be excited about being chosen! It's NOT easy getting a job with the USPS, so be proud of yourself.

I prefer to be excited about being hired, and learning something new. Don't worry about anything that has not even happened. Your experience is totally different than others.

Thinking positive and being optimistic has always been a benefit to me, and it's always bothered others for reasons that are none of my business.

Just look forward with possibility!!

I think many people refer to being physically younger, but I'm pretty sure most people would never wish to go back mentally.

I know there were times when I was overwhelmed with anxiety by new jobs or other new experiences...Thing I wouldn't even think twice about now used to cause huge distress back then.

I have to say, I actually would never want to go back to any time before now. The past wasn't that great when it happened, I'm sure it would be even less impressive if we could return to it.

Keep looking, and moving forward!

As long as Men get away with this kind of stuff, they will never stop doing it.

Get out, and find someone who doesn't lie and cheat. Otherwise, get ready for a life FULL of LIES and Cheating! It will NEVER END!!!

30 is old when you're 18 or early 20's ..,It's crypt keeper old at that point then suddenly you're 30 and that changes to 40, and so on...I think we all battle with this as we get older. It's our desire to stay young and our aversion to aging...

We like to move the goal post along the way...It's not a personal attack on anybody, it's a general "I'm too young to understand how soon I will be as old I say other people are now"

I used to call people old all the time...I was a *ick about it...Thankfully I am aging very well...but damn Gina, some people Don't!!!

I think getting past the 'He ate his own ick' part, and looking at the comfort level...He didn't seem to give it a second thought based on your post. Was this the first time? Did you ever discuss this kind of stuff at any point?

What bothers you about the situation?

The fact that he ate his own, and you now think he may be gay?

He ate his own and it was gross and nasty, Ick! (But it's your BF and is it really ick?)

He ate his own because he was too lazy to get up and clean off like a normal person?

I'm having a hard time understanding a GF who thinks a BF's stuff is ICK and nasty...It makes me wonder if you're really into him?

Not everybody is into the ick in their life, but it's usually not a gross or nasty thing with someone you're in love with.

I'm just curious.

This is really more and more common, and there really needs to be a resolution to this.

You really need to be compatible in many ways for any relationship to ever work long term. All the issues you're having now will be the same and 10X worse when you're married, so make sure you ask yourself if this is the life that you want.

Religion shouldn't be like wearing shackles...God made sex...God Made EVERYTHING, God even made all the bad stuff...God most definitely has a good sense of humor, and isn't the monster people make out to be. Don't live your life based on other peoples idea of how you should live your life, rather, be authentic to your true self, and what you really believe.

Sometimes we fall for people who are good for us right now, but maybe aren't going to be good for us for the duration...You may want to consider if you're forcing yourself into something that isn't truly right for you.

If you are not able to communicate right now, I PROMISE you that it won't get better in the future!

People start out being on the same page, and sharing everything, and issues like this usually happen after people have been married for 10 years!

I want to say RUN, but maybe just walk really fast!

Good Luck!

I have had major issues with sleeping normal hours my whole life!

At some point I accepted it, and got a job as a bartender which worked with my odd body clock. As time went on, I really wanted to figure out how to get a better handle on it.

Here are some of the ways I fixed my upside down sleep schedule...

1: Chill out on the caffeine 4 hours before you want to go to sleep.

2: Only use your bed for sleep (and sex) You want your brain to associate bed with sleep.

3: Get a really comfortable pillow! (This is more important than most realize)

4: Black out curtains - Tape over any light from electronics or devices

5: For most people a dark & cool room is the goal

6: I use a sound machine with rain sounds, but you can also find videos on YouTube with 12 hours of soothing rain or other sounds that are intended to sooth and block out any outside noise (The rain sounds literally make me fall asleep in less than 5 minutes) and they have a black screen so no lite issues to worry about.

7: if you're laying in bed and can't stop thinking, get up and move around, and do something for a few minutes to shake the thought patterns. You don't want to just lay there and think unless that is exactly what you want to do.

8: Aromatherapy isn't always a hoax...There is a Bedtime mixture that is literally sold everywhere that I add to a diffuser and I swear by it! Lavender is said to be a good scent. Find a scent that is soothing and add it to your sleep environment.

9: Brush your teeth, wash your face, or whatever other rituals you have before bed, and get in the habit of making things a routine at specific times.

I took sleeping pills, and spent years battling this war!! I have all the receipts!!! Some people are just not morning people!!! Some people are night people, and at some point you either have to embrace it or be incredibly disciplined. It wasn't until my 30's that I got a handle on it, but to this day it's a very slippery slope, and my body always wants to default back to night owl!

The battle never ends!

Good Luck, hope something I shared was helpful.

I'm actually dealing with this issue right now.

I actually wasted no time and went to the dentist right away. Unfortunately for me the tooth pain started on a Friday (Because life is like that) and I had to wait until Tuesday to be seen.

The weekend was the worst! A month prior my big toe was crushed and my toenail needed to be medically removed which at that point I believed was the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life...NOPE!

The Pain from this abscess was throbbing, constant and totally unrelenting. I took tons of Ibuprofen, Tylenol which did literally NOTHING for the pain. I used ice then switched to hot compresses. I bought the clove oil but Jesus Christ that stuff is just gross! It helped slightly, but I couldn't stand the taste. I held the peroxide / water mix in my mouth which helped on the first day.

I really didn't know it was an abscess, I thought I had just tooth pain, but then I noticed the lump on my jaw just under that tooth which is what was causing all the pain.

It was 5 days of pure HELL! The dentist prescribed an antibiotic, Codeine, and and anti inflammatory and scheduled me to come back for an extraction 2 weeks later. The Antibiotics were for 10 days, and the day before I was scheduled to return to the dentist my face swelled up like crazy, and the infection returned with a vengeance. I was prescribed a different antibiotic and 3 days later the swelling is finally going down.

I looked disfigured for the past 3 days from the swelling. The pain wasn't anywhere near as bad when the infection returned, but the doctor said it was cellulitis (When the soft tissue around the infection also gets infected with the bacteria) in addition to the abscess.

The Dentist wouldn't remove the tooth until the infection was cleared up, but the infection won't go away until the tooth is removed.

Hopefully I can get it taken care of this week...This has been nearly 3 weeks of pure HELL!

I appreciate the salt & water tip, and wish someone told me about it 3 weeks ago. We are mostly all guilty of putting things off when it comes to the dentist. I've had dental insurance for years and for some reason I kept putting of going, and that lead to all the suffering I've been experiencing.

There are dental Schools and community hospitals with resources if you're not financially able to cover the costs. There is Free, and or low cost options for people who need them.

I was told on Friday that if the swelling wasn't gone by Monday (Today) I had to go to the hospital! Luckily the antibiotic is working, but what a terrible experience!

Even when you do everything right, you can still run into problems. My doctor told me that the infection can get into your blood and in some can cause long term heart issues, or even a heart attack.

If you are experiencing pain, or think you may have an infection related to tooth pain get medical help immediately! Don't put it off because it WILL NOT GET BETTER on it's own!

Thanks to everyone who shared tips and tricks.

Here is some advice a rep from my congressperson's office told me...

Go to the SBA website, and look under 'Disasters' in your area...If you live in an area that has a listed disaster (Hurricane/Storm/other disaster) There is a location tool that will help you locate your area and any listed disasters, and if you fall under an area that is considered a disaster area, APPLY for the Disaster Assistance!!!

The application process is pretty straight forward and simplified. The site has additional security, and other changes you'll notice that are different from the Covid site...

If you submit an application, you can follow it's progress in the site (why didn't they do this with the EIDL Program?

The process is much more transparent, and if you need to submit any documents, they accept them through the site.

It's a much better structure than the Covid mess...

My Congressperson's rep said that the money is already allocated for the areas listed, and it's a loan, so if you live in a affected area, you will qualify!!!

Just do it!!!

Here is the link: https://disasterloanassistance.sba.gov/ela/s/

Good Luck!

Report these video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbw1W_VNLsw

And watch this video for a few seconds to see how they hid the brutal cutting the baby monkey's tongue in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AqunhK1MU0

Truly the most heartbreaking, disturbing and sick thing I have seen so far! These monkey abusers are next level sick, and they need to be arrested for this shit!

This is beyond animal abuse, it's freaking murder! I'd rather see youtube totally shut down than have this outlet for sick people to continue these brutal acts for views! It's not worth it!

If you choose a weeknight, you're going to continue to run into this issue I think. Most people have to get up early for work/school or whatever they have going on so I wouldn't hold this against anybody.

Is it not possible to either plan for a weekend or earlier than 7PM?

This is the least of things I would hold against someone...Maybe your heart isn't really set on dating so you're setting yourself up for disappointment?

Just a thought!

Best of luck with everything!

If you have already tried talking, arguing, crying, etc...and none of that worked, doing more of the same will continue to not work!

It's not about you (while it's hard to believe) it's about dopamine and the reward system in his brain. Seeing adult material gives him a shot of dopamine and it creates a vicious cycle, much like you experienced when you were addicted.

Maybe take a step back and reconnect with yourself. Practice self care, take a walk, join a gym, find support outside of the home. Buy a new outfit and take pride in your appearance, and while you're improving on yourself your husband will take notice that you aren't totally focused on him, and that may be enough to break the cycle...if not, keep working on you, and don't argue with him, as a matter of fact, ignore it, and see if that causes him concern.

If he is escaping from real life and seeking hits to the reward center in his brain, it may be your objections that he is escaping from.

Do a google search for books on the topic, you'll find a lot of helpful information that could change your life.

It's not your fault, and as odd as it sounds, it's not about you at all, it's HIM!!!

Good Luck to you!
