OT: Too many catalogs in your mailbox?

WhoooHooo, Pauline. Thank you. Tomorrow, the garbage man cometh and I need to do two things. We just must sack up the hundreds of catalogs that won't be needed for Christmas shopping and (!) I need to do something appreciative for the nice guys who do the pick-up. They tippy-toe to turn around here in the Swamp without harming a blade of grass or a Mama bunny with a new litter of wild hare babies. I'll top off the dumpster with a 6-pack of something and cookies. So GLAD you reminded me. Polly

Woohoo here, too. Thank you. I've ordered a few gifts the past few years, and now the catalogue problem is out of control. If I skip one day checking my po box, it is literally exploding with catalogues. Many of them go straight into the trash. The few that I

*do* like, I would like much better if they sent out *one* catalogue per year, instead of twenty.

I must be the only person left who LOVES catalogues! Since I apparently don't have the attention span to read novels any more, catalogues and magazines do it for me. And I used to be desperate enough to read the back of the cereal box while eating.

I think that is why some catalogs cost so much. I used to love going through the Nieman Marcus Christmas catalog and marvel over the amount of money some people spent on things.

We used to have a catalog inspired game with the kids inventing the kind of person who would spend a million dollars on a pretty rock or a puppy. Often enough we would also invent people to match the $5.95 Rotating Musical Chia Elvis. We even did a puppet show one year where the kids made stick puppets of the people they had invented over the course of a couple of years. That was a hilarious play!

Nope, I love them too!! They are most often what I take when i have to take DS to karate...not too easy to get caught up in, so I can pay attention to the class, and just distracting enough that I can pretend the child running his mouth non-stop is NOT my son....:-)

Howdy!

Thanks for the reminder, Pauline. We have a p.o.box as well as the home mailbox so we often/usually get 2 of every catalog... which is why we have 4 recycle bins. I don't really need 2 of everything, esp. the quilty catalogs; pass them along to others who get their own names on the mailing lists and I'm stuck w/ more catalogs. I'm on the JoAnn's mailing list w/ 3 different names.

Merry Christmas!

Getting 3 JoAnns coupons probably isn't a bad thing:) Rotary cutter blades, batting, rulers, etc.

Howdy!
