Pete and Peggy were both relatively progressive for the time, who do you think got it right? Maybe Bert with his eulogy-sentence about Ida?

Hi everyone, sharing a cautionary tale. Be careful when relying on your neighbors to grab the mail for you. I live on the first floor of a shared house. We never got a mail key and our landlord is saying it would be almost 200$ to get our lock fixed. A family lives in the basement below me and they receive pretty much all the packages that can't fit in our mailbox (that we can't even get into). Anyway, I got my medication shipped in from out of state and didn't receive it for months, until last week it mysteriously appeared outside of my door, already opened. The bottle of medication was still in there but completely empty. Couple days after and the mom and dad are going through the mail together in broad daylight on our front steps, i pass them to get in and they hand me my mail. Was kinda baffled, especially after my medication package moment. They've given my mail to me before and it was fine, so I trusted that they weren't doing anything. No valuables in those letters though, and I also never received a check I shouldve gotten for a trial shift at a restaurant. Not entirely sure what I should do.

What an interesting experience. I went with a pal for free through his university, such an interesting show. It mainly revolves around losing his house in the Pasadena fires, "860" was the house number. He's as funny and charming as ever, truly. Really paints a picture of how the things we own actually truly are part of who we are as humans, and he tragically lost so much. Might be structurally clumsy at parts and a weeee tone deaf, but he really makes a set of it. Also was super open to discussion afterward, which was nice and unexpected.

Hello! I've been chomping through this amazing collection of fitzgerald short stories to get a better classical foundation for my writing. Love May Day, Diamond as Big as the Ritz, he can do no wrong in my eyes. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations of stories from that era told in the first perspective? From what I've gleamed the only real first person tale is great gatsby...
