Ugly Paper Build Up

Any idea how one can stop the flow of unsolicited mail? It's not just the ads, it's piles of envelopes with the latest offer from banks, credit cards, etc. "There oughta be a law!" I know that you can refuse packages, I wonder if that works with third class mail? Just write 'refused' on it and send it back . . . if enough of us did that you think they would get the message?

As it is I am being buried. It builds up, because some days I'm just too busy to sort through it . . . and some of it you can't just "File 13," you have to shred it. Come to think of it most of us bought our shredders for this very reason. Then the pile becomes daunting . . . and a procrastinator's nightmare. Then you have visitors come to the house and you shove it all in a box or bag into the nearest closest, where like an amoeba it begins to divide and multiply, so that when you next open the closet door . . . "AAAAGH!!!"

And you have to do what I am doing today; devote an entire morning to cleaning, sorting and unburying yourself. Sigh.
