1) Something that looked like an important thing, but turned out to be a scam.
2) Some leaflets on senior resource info, to my dad.
3) I JUST checked it, so none right now. By the time I get back from vacation though, I'm going to guess around five hundred or so. I'm not even exaggerating.
4) My kid wanting a ride home from the mall.
5) The one they had this last Christmas with the little cartoony elves was cute. Otherwise I like ones with flowers or feminists. Or flowers with feminists. Or feminist flowers. Georgia O'Keefe, basically.

I really hate getting those, either as mail or e mail.

Emails do pile up, don't they. You are wise not to get sucked into that while on vacation!

I like having the convenience of e mails and texts, but I do miss regular letters.

[bradygirl_12]

I hear ya! Real letters were such a joy to read, and had an air of elegance. Personality shone through their handwriting, choice of stationary, etc. We always sacrifice beauty and charm for convenience, sigh. 📄🖋️

I still have a pen pal who writes long hand. We have been writing to each other for about 40 years!

1. some junk mail
2. Eddie's bday card
3. Gmail 0, Yahoo over 5k (I use my Gmail)
4. Sent my neighbor meme
5. The moon eclipse ones that you put your finger on (heat) and the moon will show

[spikesgirl58]

Always junk mail these days...

Why do you keep your Yahoo account then?

Cool, I've not seen that stamp.

[misstia]

Cuz one, I have email from friends who passed & I like to revisit them; I have emails to/from other friends & I like to reference them when thinking about 'wait, what exactly was going on' cuz I would've emailed it to them; and I get emails from companies to that addy. :) I just don't send from it anymore, started a gmail 7 years ago.

It's 'Total Eclipse of the Sun 2017' if you wanted to look them up online. They're really neat. I almost didn't get them until the postal worker said "watch this" and held his thumb to the moon, then you could SEE the moon! Really really neat!!

Makes perfect sense to me. I have a yahoo account that i use when I am asked for an e mail account and I don't want to share my comcast one.

1. I got one of those bills too. BLAH...
But I also got my Disney Movie Clue order. :)

2. Hmm... What did I mail?
I think bills for dad.

3. I have over 200, but that's because some things I want to say I leave "unread".

4. Probably from the Schwans company

5. So many to choose from?
I use to collect, and still do kind of, stamps.
Hugs, Jon

[spikesgirl58]

Good and bad, then.

Why do you keep them if you aren't going to read them? TBG does the same thing.

I didn't know you collected stamps!

[thespian15]

I usually read the emails, but then if they have something I want to keep, I will mark them as Unread. lol....

Yeah, I have a fairly decent sized stamp collection. :)
Lots of different kind.
A couple of books of Christmas stamps from around the world.
A book each for Charles's and Andrew's weddings.
LOTS of first day covers, and also some gold replicas of first day covers
A collection of Disney theme stamps from around the world.
To name a few. lol...
