We MADE souse meat on the farm where I was a kid (also in western NC - Gaston County). And what you call liver pudding, we called liver mush. Made that too. When it was time to “process” a hog, neighbors and relatives pitched in, and got some meat as a reward. All our “processed” meat was put in a salt bin in our “smoke house”. I think I have posted on here before that I will not eat chitlings, because I’ve seen it processed and cleaned.Quote:

On another note, the previous owners buried their mailbox in a stupid amount of concrete and I’m busted from sledgehammering it. Seriously, could not lift the base until we reduced it by half. And then it took 2 of us to get in the truck.
Who drops 500 pounds of concrete for a mailbox? The UPS dude rolled up while we were at and laughed, “seems excessive for a mailbox “ he said.

I don’t think you have to worry. The news stories I read involved people using steel or concrete for the post and/or box. Having 500lb of concrete foundation isn’t going to add much resistance to a wooden post against a car. It would be a different story if you had a steel bollard stick out of it.Quote:
