Here's mine. For a few years, when I was little (during the 50s), the gas stations (We called them "service stations" back then. I suppose that's because they actually provided you with service.) had mailboxes for children to mail their letters to Santa. I remember one that hung between the tanks at the local Shell my parents went to. This one is a 76 Union mailbox (the logo is under the gold bow). I found it (or should I say, "It found me.")shortly after we moved into our first and only house. I paid $20 for it back then - far, far more than I could afford at the time, but I've never regretted it. It's falling apart, but I treat it ever so gently and hope the rust won't spread. Recently I found an old photo from my hometown newspaper (me, mailing a letter to Santa) and have started to display it next to the mailbox.

'What Was The Flavor of Your....' 'dirty keyboard' ((well, when I cleaned it with MY TONGUE..... LOL)) 'tell me what's easy to digest'. 'Hmm..Ever Ate a CLOCK??' 'Kids sleep overs'. 'I need some lice advice'

I love that show! It really is one of the best British comedies. Haven't seen it in sooo long. I actually found a book at the library of the episodes way back in the 80's. One of my favorite episodes is the one where he is to give an award to a hospital (for being most efficient, or most cost effective or something like that). How they skewered the PHS!

Does the bottom unscrew? Most old style blender jars do, which is what Fori is referring to. There is usually a gasket, and another rubbery ring, and those may be failing due to age and environment. If you're just worried about getting it back together again, and it does unscrew, take a picture or make a drawing of every step of disassembly, and lay the pieces out in order, so you'll have plenty of help for putting it back together. Try looking on the Waring website for information about parts. Also, if the jar bottom doesn't unscrew, like a lid on a jam jar, but requires the removal of bolts and whatnot, you might be better served either finding an online repair manual or taking it to a small appliance expert, if you're that hopeless. :)
