Junk Mail

[Deanna]

Mercy, I've been behind (once again--it is a normal and natural occurance with me) in my paperwork and slated today to be the day that I brave up, buck up and begin to tackle it. I've spent 6 hours going through accumulated mail and have shredded 98% of it, with only 2% being useful and requiring my attention -- makes me a wee cranky.

Does anyone know of a way to stop junk mail from being delivered?? I've emptied my shredder 4 times already and am only about 3/4 done ...

**Deanna grumbles something unladylike under her breath and turns the shredder back on for another round ... ** (LOL)

I heard about the following being done ....

for every piece of junk mail you get with a return envelope / pre-paid card, return it ..... the envelopes stuffed to the gill with other junk mail and pennies .... the pennies add extra weight (which these companies are billed on) and it will cost them more

keep track of who gets your pennies and then later, call them asking for your pennies back (i've known someone to actually get a check for something like $0.06 or something after doing this). it's worth the giggle if nothing else.
