I've been collecting my writings from years gone by as I find them. Each time I move - now 5 times in the last 3 years - I find more scraps, loose sheets, etc. with my thoughts from various times in my life. I've decided to copy as many of them as I can here to try and keep from losing them again, and to share with the world. Please feel free to comment as thoughts occur to you. Either send them to trekker9er@yahoo.com or use the comment links here. Thanks, and Enjoy!

 Reduce Your Snail Mail Junk Mail


While I was going through seperating all the junk mail credit card offers and the like I get into the paper recycling bin and the trash can, I discovered in VERY small print on the back of one of the offers a notice telling me how I can stop these from coming! (I looked there because I discovered the secret hiding place for these such things at work while trying to figure out how to stop the junk faxes we get - ugh.)

Here's the phone number to opt out of getting pre-approved credit card, mortgague/home equity lines, insurance, student loan consolidation, and other such offers based on your credit report in the mail:

1-888-567-8688

Or they have a website you can use:

https://www.optoutprescreen.com/

This goes to the four major credit reporting companies, so one time will cover most everything! They do say it will take a couple months for the offers to stop coming, but then it's at least 5 years of not getting them.
