By this point I would expect only the smallest, cheapest companies haven't updated their mailing lists.<BR/><BR/>I believe you can put a stop on mail to an invalid name to your house, but maybe you can only give them a list of acceptable names (black list vs. white list). Either way, there may be hope yet for you to get some peace.<BR/><BR/><B>Miss Grace:</B> Actually, I've been meaning to tell you-- I won't be able to make it to the world-famous Aguilar Family Halloween Party this year. Sorry.<BR/><BR/><B>anita doberman:</B> You have my sympathies for the 2am calls. I'm pretty sure I would have unplugged the phone when I went to bed, genuine emergencies be damned.<BR/><BR/>Even if it means John died, I'm glad the madness eventually ended. I need the reassurance of your example, because we've got a budding problem with that ourselves, and I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't get that bad.LiteralDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704368269389527451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-14232481251298632562008-10-30T17:41:00.000-05:002008-10-30T17:41:00.000-05:00We used to get calls at 200am for a while, same pe...We used to get calls at 200am for a while, same person asking for John, every night, whether we picked up or not.

For both us and the people who lived in this house before us...five years ago. We get their mail on a daily basis. At first, I sent it back or forwarded it, but now it just goes straight into recycling.

Great, now I can never use that word again without thinking of Jenny The Bloggess' <A HREF="http://thebloggess.com/" REL="nofollow">recent post</A> about it.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, everyone knows Edison was afraid of Tesla's voodoo magic, so he attacked Westinghouse in public, and Tesla only with whisper campaigns behind his back. But then, was anything really ever behind the man's back, given his all-seeing, all-knowing powers?<BR/><BR/><B>ali:</B> Stay strong, sister! Just start pretending like you don't know what word they mean, until they think you're an idiot, so you can then make THEM feel like the idiots. Victory will be ours!<BR/><BR/><B>Joe:</B> Dude, you're going about this all wrong! You need to get them to send you something in writing, which you can use to skip out on property taxes, reduce all your federal taxes, and legally demand ten percent of all your neighbors' income.<BR/><BR/><B>Allison:</B> I have a feeling I'm disappointing you, but we were over 300 miles north. Yes, Maine is the King Kong of New England states, which I guess would make New York something like Mothra. The question is, what does that make the Empire State building, and why was Kong climbing it??

I keep getting mail with suggestions for my next sermon and how to address topics like teen pregnancy and infidelity. I've gone as far as calling them and insisting that I am not a minister and my house is not a church... To no avail.Irrational Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701066159275266042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-6774036576700075082008-10-30T09:30:00.000-05:002008-10-30T09:30:00.000-05:00'ahnt' is a pretty popular pronunciation here in t...'ahnt' is a pretty popular pronunciation here in the South.
