    I guess one could say...

    I don't vote, and I don't judge, and I won't be economically compromised. Leave me alone.
    That might work as well.

    If everyone refused to be on the jury (for whatever reason) it would cripple our justice system, leaving the decisions entirely in the hands of the judges.
    That might make the need for lawyers a moot point as well.

    1. I have a lady that gets my mail and deposits checks to the bank for me.

    2. Absentee

    3. I usually go home for upwards of a week at a time so I schedule everything for when I’m planning on being home.

    4. I don’t worry about it. They don’t make anyone sign for the notice so really there is no proof it ever made it to my mailbox.

    I use a company called traveling mailbox. Everything they get is scanned in. If it's junk, you tell them to toss it. They will open the mail and scan it in so you can read online. whenever your ready, the'll bundle up your mail and ship it to any address you want. $15/month

    1) I use a mailbox service. It ain't cheap. But it's good. Also qualifies as a street address.

    2)Absentee voting. Can even go into courthouse and vote a couple months early. Or by mail.

    3) I don't see doctors or dentists unless I have to. Into proactive health. Look up Dr. Carolyn Dean or Dr. John Bergman on youtube. You'll understand what I'm talking about.

    4) They understand you can't be home for a month. Reply and tell them.

    Then do as 'I' suggested, and alert dispatch with plenty of time before such appointments, and then a friendly reminder about 8 days out. Worked for me when I was OTR; had the wife for mail however.
