OK, count me in as one of those horrible people that stickerized my box. With something very neutral and P.O. related. Heaven help me if I plugged on a Cubs or Patriots sticker...

Personally I think it's a cute idea and does not promote lawlessness or graffiti or anything else the naysayers throw.

C'mon - get a life and enjoy your days here. Let the folks have fun. One of my (very few) negatives about TV is the yada regarding exterior home fronts. We all tend to blend into each other esp with the color choices given. Thankfully we have some choices to customize our landscaping and such - within ARC of course. So some of us want a bit of fun and personalization of the mailslot fronts. As long as they are not offensive to a group - SO WHAT? Yes yes - we don't own them. c'mon - loosen up and groove a bit. And if you 'choose not to abuse' - leave yours vanilla.

For those that take it upon themselves whether in spite or boredom or 'holier than thou' to rip them off - please wait till I'm there so we can have a discussion about this topic. I know I wouldn't change your mind, but at least we could exchange views.

Has anyone asked their mail carrier?

I'm not opposed to the stickers. I haven't noticed a problem. I was just expressing some disagreement with the not-your-business comment.

If you care enough to wade through all the previous threads :eek: I'm pretty sure the mail carrier position is stated.

Basically, no matter how many threads we have, there will probably never be agreement on a lot of Villages issues.

On one side we have the "rules are rules" folks who feel that all should be neat and tidy, that people must adhere to deed restrictions with no deviations for personal circumstances, and that any failure to follow rules will open the door to more and more infractions, and will negatively affect our wonderful, pristine surroundings.

And then there are the "don't sweat the small stuff" folks who feel that we should lighten up, be more relaxed, live and let live, we are here to have fun, if it doesn't hurt anyone, then MYOB, and understand the reasons if someone doesn't rigidly follow each rule.

And in the middle we have people like me who tend to boomerang according to the issue at hand. I probably lean toward the relaxed group, yet none of us want our beautiful paradise to deteriorate.

Laissez faire
 

I just realized that I have spent more time reading this thread than I have spent at the mail boxes since I moved here last October. Having invested that much energy, it seems wasteful not to take a stand, and here it is:

1. I have no issues with those who put stickers on mail boxes.
2. I have no issues with those who pull stickers off mail boxes.
3. I have no issues with those who do neither.

To the person on another thread who wondered about the humidity and how people in The Villages cope with it, as do I wonder, this must be the answer--stay inside and debate harmless subjects on TOTV! If we buy, I will have to give much thought to the sticker/don't sticker issue.:jester:

Puhleeze, Somebody, Puhleeze help meeeee. I have found myself reading this thread every day. Whatinthehellisdamattawidme??????

I finally broke myself of reading dog poop threads. And now this!!!

I am going to the pool now, to boil and get more wrinkles. Definitely preferable.

:1rotfl: Too funny ............... how about dog days of Summer .........

If you just waded through 66 posts about stickers on mailboxes, you should definitely move here! :duck:

I doubt if heaven would be inclined to help you if you put those stickers anywhere! Some things can't be forgiven.

I agree.... I could deal with a St. Louis Cardinal sticker....but the Cubs! :-)

Heaven sent this..... Take your choice

How 'bout a Remove The Curse sticker for the poor Cubbies?

Good advice, Barefoot,:a20:
