The passing of time will take care of a lot of things. Sometimes you have to fight like crazy. Either way keep some humor in your life. It can often make things better, or at least more easy to take.
My great uncle first called me that. He was my Uncle Buck. He was a true HoBo. He had a wooden leg, one eye, no teeth, cut his hair with his pocket knife, bald on top, made his on apple jack,...etc....The real thing.
He claims that he was in a bar fight over a woman, the fight lasted all night. He was the only one in the place that was still standing alive. That how he lost his teeth, hair, eye, and leg....OH! What a good liar he was.
We do have a female mailperson. I thought it was funny she had a sign on the truck. Driver makes frequent stops. I know that on a trip my mother always needed to stop.
