very little. It's what happens when you don't own a lot of shit, and start sending it back in their own post-paid envelopes. With extra weight. I generally have to tape those babies shut.

4. Very little
I'm registered with the Postal Preference Service and so speculative junk mail is banned; therefore I only get repeat stuff from companies I already use, and the blanket mail-drop which goes through every door.

On the other hand, if you count the local free newspaper that would quickly add up in terms of weight.

5. I get about five or six credit card offers a week...
...I think I could have my own island in the Pacific if I actually signed up for all the credit they are throwing at me.

And then there are the weird ones: last week on the same day I got an ad for some Steak-of-the-month club and another for a Wine-of-the-month club. WTF was that about?

Oh, and then there was my invitation to join the Republican Party. Hah!
