I hate the mail
I hate all of the piles of junk mail I get. I hate email, too. I am so tired of all of this garbage I have to constantly sort through. It's such a huge chore. Anyone else hate the mail?

3. Nope. I like getting my mail, and resent the holidays when
there isn't any. Anything I don't want, it takes me about twelve seconds to throw it away.

4. I leave it in the box as long as I can,
then transfer it to my living room floor.

Do you have any idea how many catalogs I get????

5. Oh, catalogs.
and magazines.
and appeals for fundraising from Democratic stuff. State, local, AND national.
and every bleeding heart charity appeal you can think of.

It exhausts me, and I feel guilty when I throw it away recycle it without even looking at it.

But I think that in the future I will just walk in the door with it and pitch it immediately if I can. That's the only way I am going to keep my sanity.

8. Oh, I pitched my sanity ages ago.
It's even worse at church. 90% of all mail is unsolicited crap. A few weeks ago, I went thru the pile on my desk with a garbage bag nearby. I filled it up before I got halfway through.
