Who likes junk mail? What do YOU do with junk mail? A little while back, I posted about Andy Rooney's solution to junk mail - use the postage paid envelope to stuff with the information a junk sender sends you and send it back to them without providing them any information about you. In doing that, you support the US Postal Service and make the junk sender's money support the US Postal Service. It's a win-win for you, as well, because the junk mail is off your desk and won't fill up your local landfill. YAY!

Last week, we received some particular junk mail that REALLY twists my nickers! Here are some photos:








I can't stand this type of advertising. So many churches do it. What really bothers me is not that I'm receiving this crap, but other people who attend their church services like lemmings, who cannot discern that this kind of ministry is full of crap! They're sending around this "prayer rug" that's about 1.5' x 3'. After you've prayed for yourself to get financial gain - FOR YOUR HOUSE FIRST (the ad says) - you're supposed to give the "prayer rug" to someone else to pray, as well.

All of the verbiage instills subtle fears and threats that if the (unknowing and unwise) person doesn't use the "prayer rug" for its intended purpose and donate to the church and give the "prayer rug" to someone else in a reasonable amount of time, their prayers will not be answered.

It disturbs me when people prey upon the prayers of those who follow in blind faith. I'm glad we got this mail, so that we could shred it with glee.

I just donated to Wikimedia to keep the site free of advertising! You can do the same:


Support Wikipedia


If Wikimedia isn't free, think of how awful the site would be to navigate and use. Keep it free! Keep it alive!

Just watched Rachel Maddow's show from the other day. If you haven't seen these numbers, make a contribution at the foundation of your choice - or multiples! There are other places to donate listed on her page, too.

Text "HAITI" to:
American Red Cross - 90999 - Donates $10
International Rescue Committee - 25383 - Donates $5
Salvation Army - 52000 - Donates $10
The United Way - 864833 - Donates $5
The Clinton Foundation - 20222 - Donates $10

Olivia Wilde (the actress who plays 13 on House) stated that 100% of the proceeds from donations go to Haiti is you donate to Artists for Peace & Justice. Moving video on the site.

I'm so sad right now about this tragedy and this is one thing I can do RIGHT NOW. Please take a second and give a little. Every little bit helps.
