Oh my god, I hate direct mail with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. One of my least favorite moments in life is the long walk from the mailbox to the recycling bin that I have to make EVERY SINGLE DAY to throw away shit I don't need. So depressing.
I check my mail on the way out the door so I can chuck everything in the trash can outside. If something looks important, I'll stuff it in my purse to open later.
I don't think I've ever opened or read a direct mail thing.
I didn't know the yellow pages still existed. I would never think to look on FB for a service (I hate FB though). I usually start with Yelp and Angie's List. If there's no link to a website, I'm not interested. That goes for everything - restaurants, doctors, service providers, etc. I would happily pay extra to someone who communicates by email to avoid phone interaction.

A company's FB usually comes up on a Google search. I always start with Google (which would link Yelp). I don't have an Angie's List membership, but my mom did and she said it wasn't very helpful.

You know those envelopes thath come with like 30 individual ads in them? I love those. I kind of study them. I am pretty sure I've never used anything from them.

We are in hell over here. May has diarrhea, Ian an I vomited all night. And um the least sick so even though I feel awful I have to do everything still. My mom is oot and can't help. May just pooped in our bed and I'm too sick to change the sheets. She smells like poop too but I can't face giving her a bath. Our kitchen is full if dirty smelly dishes from last night but I'm too sick to do them. This is just the fucking worst.

Sometimes I wish DH would just go online and buy all of the various shopping carts I have full at all times, unbeknownst to me. And I'd just get lots of surprise packages in the mail.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get Emerson to the a pumpkin patch before Halloween. I have a wedding this weekend and we have EI evaluations tomorrow afternoon. I might try tomorrow morning, but it might rain.

Last night when I thought I was going to die of salmonella, I told my husband that my cart was pre loaded at J&J for Black Friday lol.
XH just cancelled his visit with DD this weekend. AGAIN. Selfishly, I'm happy because it means she stays with me and I know she'll eat & sleep properly and stay on her normal schedule. But it also just makes me so sad for her- I feel horrible that her father sucks. That he isn't a nice person and doesn't make himself available to see her. But on the plus side, she gets to go to her first hockey game of the season! The girl LOVES hockey ("Hockey guys!!!!!" She'll scream) and I know how happy it makes my stepfather since he is a die hard fan of his alma mater (the game they're going to this weekend).
bebeetmoi I'm sorry you're ex is such an asshole. F is so lucky to have you. I hope you have fun at the hockey game!
I have to work so I won't be going to the game. My parents are going to take her to it for me:). Which is just as well because I don't know the first thing about hockey. All I know is that the players are good looking;). I can definitely tell that going to the games is going to be a thing for DD & my stepfather.

Aw that's sweet. That's great that they have their "thing"!
