Something is decomposing in the woods by my mailbox.
:puke:

I'm not about to go investigate what and where.

Can someone go get the mail for me?

16. Yes it does. We had a dead mouse in the driveway and the smell got into the car. No one else
was bothered by it but me. I am frequently teased in my home for being bothered by smells all those boys don't even notice *grr*

And don't even get me started on what life was like when I was preggers. :P

Now you will have to air out your mailbox on Sunday.

Put some baking soda in the mailbox or some charcoal.

39. Somebody put a dead rabbit in my Aunt's mail box, last summer.
They put it in on a Saturday night, so it was noticed until Monday afternoon.


Charcoal works very well in taking out really bad smells.

I'll file that charcoal tip away for future reference.
