kyburgI just got back from the PO Box. I set this up back when we moved from Ontario into Torrance almost four years ago now, and decided to keep it because it was a great place to send people away from the physical address if I didn't really want them to know much about me.
The box has turned out to be a wonderful catch all for charitable groups who want to ask me for money.
I've got more address labels than any sane person. Seriously. Everyone sends them.
And last year, in the heat of getting the Christmas cards out - we used a bunch of them. You know, I should have thought more about not getting many cards returned to us due to invalid addresses - but I didn't.
Well, I've got four more sets of address labels.
And a bunch of returned Christmas cards. 16 of them. The little box was packed solid. There were also Christmas cards folks had sent back, using the return label for a guide that I hadn't received.
The pile included some LJers. Both received and returned. Oh boy. It's almost March. I keep saying I need to check that box more often, but this is ridiculous.
Uh, yeah. I'm going to try to resend the ones I can. Jim did the addressing, and I can see where he just didn't think to check - but I can almost be glad I have to redo the list from scratch during this year - boy, the return rate is just sucking ASS.
In other news?
A San Francisco weekly newspaper that bills itself as "The Voice of Asian America" is facing harsh criticism from that very community for publishing a column Friday titled "Why I Hate Blacks."
The original article. Proof positive that hate has no color.
I'm white and Christian. Should it be noted my groups are as hard hit as the others by this tool?
A 41-year-old Redding man charged with molesting a 12-year-old girl told investigators the child was his girlfriend and he loved her, court records show.
The relationship was exposed when Hakmiller telephoned Ontario police from Northern California and asked them to check on the girl because he feared she had been raped in her home.
Uh. She got siblings? Holy chrome.
I don't have to say I haven't missed Ontario once since I moved, right?
