Yeah, I think I didn`t say, poor Noah. We were both haunted last night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to cut down on the amount of paper mail I receive. It's way out of control. What avenues are open to me with the general junk stuff?

Put, "Return to sender - deceased" on them and stick them back in the mail? Otherwise, it's probably hunting down all the junk mailers separately.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
ita, there is a link from the FTC on cutting down junk mail [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
One of my apartment neighbors has a "NO JUNK MAIL OR FLYERS" label on his mailbox, and he seems to get less than the rest of us.

The problem at my house is that my father was insanely into mail-order catalogues in the early '90s, and we still get them ALL. I'm sure I could unsubscribe him if I sat down and tried to, but... I'm lazy. The amount of catalogues we get is absolutely insane.

Thanks for the link, WindSparrow. And maybe I'll try that tag, Perkins, although I can't imagine the mail delivery person would be happy about that.
German man castrates teen daughter's 57 year old boyfriend. There's so much sympathy for the father in the comments--I don't get it. There's no indication the older guy did anything illegal. It might be icky, it might make you defensive as a parent, but supporting castration? Seriously?

I've had lots of Mormons try to convert me. First of all, I think nabbing a crip is like a six-point buck to them. Second, racial profiling, which is creepily accurate since there are Mormons in my family...but how do they know? Do you just go after every blonde that doesn't wear makeup that often, or... Kind of boggled by prostletizing Lutherans...the ones I know would take a casserole over more than The Word, but I know there are a number of different branches and stuff. For myself, it would be a hard thing to get "filled with the spirit" in, but I did it for a while to make my grandma happy and meet kids who didn't call me "spaz"

holy shit, ita, literal castration? What's wrong with people?

Because books.

That's medieval, for real. Jesus.
We're still getting all kinds of junk mail for the last two people who lived here. I'm not sure how my delivery person would feel about a sign, either, though.
