Hi. Well ... just back from store with new batteries which I'll test out soon.

Meanwhile, was upset and blown away to find out that the other tenants (the one/s I keep having glitches with that help themselves and don't consider other tenants then get ugly when nicely talked to about it) actually came up my private stairs and door steps to handle my parcels and read labels and things ... they also go in my mailbox and handle my mail. They may just be checking "is this for me and delivered by mistake?" although my gut tells me no ... they also have an assorted lot of visitors (relatives and friends) sometimes drunk and/or stoned and kinds hungry lookin' so and I know for a fact that some operate not quite aboveboard etc One guy parked in my private parking spot, his obviously newly spray painted black vehicle with odd body parts (mustang fenders on a little boxy car, small skylight which I saw he and another breaking open to get in the car, and no plates and argued with me that he had to part there so the cops couldn't see the vehicle ARGUED WITH ME!!! Geez Louise ... so ... what a pain. Great my parcels stayed ... but I do know that the neighbors in the next house saw them and were keeping an eye on them for me (maybe that's REALLY why my parcels didn't disappear? I wonder. I don't know. Am just not trusting as have seen visitors checking in mailbioxes too. ...

Mail ... considering all ... it's ALWAYS best to let me know when you've mailed something my way and when its likely to arrive so I can know to watch.

I'm still blown away that the parcels were just left. Why did I not hear the doorbell (did they ring or knock? I wouldn't hear a knock unless very loud, with two doors and an entryway between them? Doorbell is EXTREMELY LOUD in my wee place ... so much so I've almost disconnected it several times but don't always hear knocks

All for this whinging post ........ may have pics to post soon ...

Ma
