Left my Mailbox keys in Mailbox?

Hi, I'm one of those people who forget about most thing. But this time I really screwed up. I was about to check my mail one day, but I realized my keys were missing. Now, I always put my mailbox key ( let's just call them MKs ) on a hook where I can just grab and go. But on this day, I didn't see them. I searched everywhere in my house, top to bottom, left to right, under every piece of furniture, to every nooks and crannies. I then came to the conclusion that I left the MKs in the mailbox lock from te day before. I then ran out and checked for the key, but in my doubts, it wasn't there.

I love in a peaceful neighborhood, some friendly, but lately nobody has ever stopped by my door to notify me that my MKs were left on the mailbox. The actual mailbox is divided into sections, one per each house in the block, for regular mail. Then one bigger mailbox slot for packages, the kind where the mailman leaves a key for the mailbox to open it.

Is there any solution? Did, most likely, some idiotic person take it? Where shod I go to get a replacement?

Am I a try hard New Yorker?

This is a pretty sad (as in lame) story.

I love New York. I love everything about it. I love Upstate, Downstate, Captial District, Western NY, every little nook and cranny. While I don't live there anymore (lived there until I was 8), I still miss it and want to move back ASAP. My name is "Native New Yorker" on here, but am I really? I live in New England. I try to talk with a NY accent and I love the city and everything else and I've seen it s million times but I feel like I try too hard to be a NY'er. I study NYC and NY state history, have good knowledge on where all the places are etc but I think I only do it satisfy myself. I say constantly "I'm not a Rhode Islander, I'm not a Rhode Islander, I hate Rhode Island, I love New York." I think I mean it… I'm spending my teen years in RI and I just miss NY. I identify myself as "from New York" and I'm completely ashamed of RI. Am I a try hard?

No offense to Rhode Islanders. Oh one thing: you guys and Mass have way too many dunkin donuts, it's annoying

What color should we paint the kitchen?

I am moving into a new house. (First time home buyer!) The walls are this light blue. I want to put a nice breakfast nook in there and hang a few Blue Willow china plates on the wall as decoration. Since I can't post two photos on here, you could look up the china to see what it looks like. I wanted a light yellow kitchen… But with the white cabinets and black counter, I am totally lost as per what to do.
Also, what color furniture should we get for that room?

How to restore a first gen nook?

A few weeks ago I came into the possession of a nook that someone had previously left up for target practice. Evidently, they were a poor shot as the nook as unscathed (aside from a single bullet hole in the case.) After bringing it home, I tried to unregister it, when I was informed I couldn't do that without the accounts password. So, I did a hard reset where I held the power button for 20 seconds, 6 times. It seemed to have worked, as it reverted to software version 1.3 and it /said/ that there was no account registered to it. It even prompted me, telling me I needed to register an account before I could do much of anything with it. I attempted registering my Barnes and Noble account, at which point it asked me to unregister first. The settings menu doesn't display a registered account, and no longer has an option to unregister, even.
So, I'm left with the only option I have left, going through the process someone goes through after bricking a failed rooting attempt. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything for the First Edition nook on google. Which leads me here.
Any resources would be appreciated, or actually explaining it here. Thank you in advance.

How to download apps onto a nook HD without adding a credit card?

Because, seriously, I don't even have one. I have a debit card but it's a service credit union and kind of stupid that I need to add it to get free apps.
