The Letter "J" ~~ Weekend Roundup and Reflections

The ninth issue of Weekend Roundup for this year, 2020...
(THE NINTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "J" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "J";
(B) "Jolly" (Tom's choice);
(C) A Favorite; 
(D) Reflections.
_ _ _ _ 



(C) A Favorite:  Junior, Junior Lion King.  He is living at our home in the guest room.  In a cardboard box in the guest room.

(A) Starts with the Letter "J":  


 
"J" is for Junk Mail.  We get plenty of it, Not my favorite for sure.  I wonder if this New Zealander's box gets any of it.  About a fourth of the mail boxes in NZ seem to have some admonition note left for the mail carrier to not leave junk mail  in their boxes.  I hope it works for them.
 
 

Here are a couple of creative mail boxes used by the folks living in Port Chalmers, N.Z.





(B) "Jolly" (Tom's choice): Jolly Time Popcorn




(D) Reflections: Living Room and Kitchen Reflections after a house cleaning.

My Two Questions (you can answer just one if you wish).

(1)  How do you handle your junk mail?    Another easy question for me, it seems like that became my official retirement duty. Care and disposal of the Junk mail.  Note: we shred every address label to us on them before recycling them .
(2)  What do you think of when we are discussing "Stuffed Toys"?   I think of all those my mother had.  We pretty well divided them up when Dad sold their retirement home.  Mom.had died several years before.  




 Bonus Questions:   
(1) what is your favorite "J" word?  This time it will be "Jim," my name, a nick nsme for Jim.  All but one Jims  I have known are pretty nice guys.  I won't talk about the o e that wasn't.  

(2)  What comes to mind when you hear "Ready Poppef Popcorn" mentioned?   A waste of money when the microwave ovens make the popping job so easy. 
(3)  If you wish to tell of your OLD CAR or COLLECTOR CAR experiences this would be another  day. 
BUT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DAY IF YOU'D LIKE.    
I've had several , all Ford products except one Dodge.  My '74 and '98 Ford Mustang's are the ones, probably last ones, I have now.

Have a fabulous day, Jim. 😎
 
Junk mail - we can put a sign on our mail box and we don't get any!
Pop corn - never buy ready popped. And can't stand the smell of microwave pop corn.
Stuffed toys - dust collectors. Have one my Mom bought me years ago.

Letter J - Jim, you will love my post!!
Don't drive but love seeing collector car displays.


 
The junior Lion King toy looks adorable and the mail box hugged by boy is creative indeed. I recycle all my junk mail!
 
You know I don't think it is the Postman's fault with the junk mail myself. I just tear it up and think about all the trees lost.
I love baby lion king.
You have a beautiful house there.
Watched a special on the coronavirus - glad you got back a long time ago!

...JIM, is a cardboard box the way you treat guests? Some days JUNK mail is the only mail in our box. I haven't had JOLLY Time Popcorn is a long time. What a lovely home, JIM. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend.
 
I love all the mail boxes Jim but junk mail gets recycled immediately. J for JUDITH, one of my daughters. I do not eat pop corn as it is not good for your health. it woujld be an old car now but a long time ago we had a Ferrari car. Noe Stuffed toys - well soon on the blog you will be seeing some of my stuffed toys, in fact NEXT WEEK!!! Thanks for hosting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
 
I love popcorn, we don't have 'Jolly time' here though.
My favourite words starting with J are: June, July and Joy.
Thank you for your comments on my blog and advice regarding spam.
Enjoy your weekend.

 
I like popcorn, but do not care for all the additives inside many packages. We have an air popper so enjoy with a bit of salt. Simba, the Junior King (prince?) prefer no junk mail and love the creative Kiwi mailboxes!
 
Your house looks spotless! Neat mailboxes!
 
We recycle all of our junk mail. It's amazing how much we still get.

I like little stuffed animals. My favorite is a unicorn.
 
I would love to not have all the junk mail--such a waste. When I think of stuffed toys, I think of the calico cat and stuffed bear I have in my upstairs from when I was a child. The little lion king is adorable.
