A brief product endorsement.

I have decided that "No More Nails mounting tape" is awesome stuff.

It's double-sided tape that comes with warnings like "do not allow it to touch flesh under any circumstances" and "position cannot be changed after mounting" and "may devour weaker surfaces and join them to its majesty"

I have re-mounted my big "no soliciting" sign, and as far as I can tell, two months later, it has always been part of my mailbox.

(Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the roll...)

Save the rest of the roll for evangellistas who ignore your sign.

Post-sign, the Witlesses have taken to stuffing my mailbox with their treekilling garbage instead of ringing my doorbell. If it happened more than once a month, I'd add a "Yes, dipshits, religious soliciting is still soliciting. Besides, your cult says that the more people you convert, the fewer of *you* get into Heaven. Do the math."

But it's not common enough to make the sign worthwhile.

If you hang, err, tape, a sign on your mailbox that says "absolutely no unsolicited mail", and they still stuff their stuff into it, could you sue them?
Otherwise, return-to-sender sometimes at least annoys somebody affiliated with them (around here, having a return address for unsolicited mail/pamphlets/whatever is a legal must).

BWAhahahahahahahaha no.

First: No such requirement, and all their "U need JEEEEEZUS" crap references Watchtower Publications, not the local Bad Thinking Factory.

Second: It's a matter of RELIGIOUS FREEDUMB, don't you know. After all, if I try to prevent them from coming onto my property and dumping their garbage in my mailbox for me to have to dispose of, that's totally the same as stopping them from practicing their religion.

(Sad thing is, it kind of IS stopping them from practicing their religion. Their religion REQUIRES them to stalk and harass nonbelievers until said nonbelievers give them money.)

Well suited for a return-to-sender, if you ask me.

This calls for ... Judas Priest!
So keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off, woah

You live in a fantasy
I don't even care
If you're lookin' for sympathy
It ain't there

It doesn't have a destination address and it doesn't have a "return" address. Which is to say, won't be delivered without postage.

Got any pictures you're willing to make a lifetime commitment to?

There's a balcony directly above the patio in my ickle yard, and I want to hang solar-powered Mason-jar lights from it so that my patio has some actual lighting. (There are no electrical outlets nearby and, besides that, having to add to my electricity bill annoys me. I can build the solar lights easily and for cheap! Also they are recycled/recyclable!) But I don't want to have to ask the building manager for permission to drill into the concrete of my upstairs neighbours' balcony. So far my solutions for mounting a hook strong enough to hold a light have boiled down to liquid cement and prayer, and we both know which one of those actually has a chance of working.

I wonder if this tape would be strong enough...

You know, the hook for the hot water bottle seems to have pulled loose...
