One more thing MWL, do you have any particular preference on singles you'd like made????

Are you kidding me? ALL OF THEM (laughing) I'm so happy when I get a single. They are a relief and an enjoyment!

In case people don't visit the Yahoo Postal board much, we had a little bit of fun a while back coming up with a year's worth and some of ideas for singles and rings. Doglvrs was kind enough to keep track, put it together and upload it as a file there: year's worth of ideas. The dates aren't necessarily a date for the idea, but rather an easy way for us to keep track in our messages of where we were with coming up with 365+ ideas.

Alright lady, just where in this Honking list do you want me to start? I think if I tried to make a single for everyone of those topics, Shoebee would kick me to the curb, and not one with a Letterbox. :)

Well, make sure someone plants a box there before that happens, eh?

Surely there is something on that list that appeals to you. Pick one you like and surprise us! :-)

And I double dog dare anyone else reading to do the same. Well, not the same plb, but make a single.

How did you know that surprises are my specialty? Let me get my rings started and send off the mystery plb and then I'll get started on that list. :)

Ya think? The list is nine pages printed out. I figure I'll go through and check off the ones that sound do-able. :)

Wow- You are like the Wanda and Pete of Postals! :)

How about Lessons Learned from Encyclopedia Brown?


Blueberry pies stain teeth - thus the twins cheated
Car hoods are hot after more than 5 minutes - that old baby walking barefoot foiled the alibi
White stipes on summer heated pavement are much cooler to bare feet
Squirrels don't back down trees, they go head first
Hinges on the outside means the door swings that way - ole Bugs Meany wasn't kidnapped
Spoons acting as mirrors will put the image upside down
You can't put items in the opposite handed pocket of your pants while you are running
Gold weighs a lot, which means you couldn't hold a brick of it over your head one handed...so the divining rod was fake

How about Lessons Learned from Encyclopedia Brown?

I remember this series. I think I read them all. Hey, MWL, were you serious about being signed up for my singles? Like all of them? Should I add your name when I set up the tracker? :)
