>>Every year I file a "Change of Address" for for "Resident". I check the deceased box. I imagine junk mailers
dead of millions of papercuts on their tongues.

A thing of beauty that. Performance art. I gotta try that.

We appreciate your efforts. But the tidal surge of catalogs continues to swell. We laugh. Giddy laughter, since we know we can't possibly keep up with the deluge. We just stare at the flood in disbelief, as the stacks of mail climb and climb, no matter how much we haul out to stuff in your mailboxes. This is what December was like a long time ago.

Zinmaster, I take a little different approach. I actually go out and actively search for every catalog there is. I just tell them to send it to my P.O. box. The mail people love stuffing that box to the rim. (huh Freddie) Then as I'm leaving the Post office about once every three months, I stuff the ones I don't want in their trash can. Filling it rather quickly :-)
10 bucks a year is a small price to pay for a PO box which keeps my wife from EVER seeing a catalog.!! hehehe

So the next time you see one of those catalogs come, fill out the change of address card and scribble a quick note about how much you don't want to miss the next issue. <gg>
