I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

Do you mean the 20 pounds of yellow and white pages that get delivered to my house every year, and sit on a shelf under my kitchen cabinet? I probably open them about 3 - 4 time per year. I get virtually all my telephone numbers and addresses on line. However, I think these are of recycled paper, and then again recycled -- which DOES have environmental impact -- so maybe not a lot of trees are dying. |

Did you just change the message AGAIN? Do you really mean the stock holder reports for your investments? |

HOLY CARP!!!

With the Internet as prevalent as it is in people's homes, I feel the yellow pages are almost totally useless. And certainly a huge waste of resources, even when slightly useful. |

you should try writing one... doesn't your broker let you sign up for electronic delivery of these things? |

I don't have a broker. It is from my company's 401K's mutaual funds. But thanks I'll see if they have it on email. Then I can just delete the dang thing. |

Jon, great idea....Since Mr. BeeLady has, many times, proclaimed that paper is obsolete, I should be able to pitch all the paper report he gets from the brokerage he never contacts! We just finished going thru papers from....1987....

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

OK, I'll fess up. Like Jon, it seems, I write them. Or, more to the point, edit them. |
