Roger that. Then I’d have keeled into my computer screen. Between the new shots and these rad CBD gummies I started on, I’m feeling pretty chipper lately.

Weird, I live in the NM hinterlands but stuff seems to come and go by mail on schedule.

I have noticed that I can no longer take my time looking at catalogs that come in the mail, because if I do, all the interesting items are sold out.

And to think Trump tried to fix this and they gave him so much grief. Oh and they stole the election they know we know. Just look at DC. Walls. Walls that don’t “work” /s

Go figure...

I hate the US Mail!
UPS/FedEX is the way to go and we know.

Probably because it is offered online and people buy it there.

Maybe you should shop online and not by catalog.

I may ease into a system whereby I stop getting the “in the mail” bills and start doing more online. As you’ve noted, I can always print the bills. Maybe with just one bill to start.

I did email billing once a decade ago and ended up getting my cable shut off because I hadn’t noticed the bill. I get probably 20-30 emails a day and I don’t take the time to go through them. About half are from the RNC requesting money (he$$ no, traitors!).

But perhaps I’ll start with one bill that I know about. I already have my online banking set to warn me by text message, when a bill is coming due.

Old habits are hard to break - I used to use a manual spreadsheet to track bills - when they came in the mail, I’d write them on the spreadsheet with the due date, then use that as my system to write checks (sometimes “floating” them a day or two in the mail, such was my financial situation at the time) and mail them just prior to the due date.

The spreadsheet eventually went to the computer, and then to quicken, and now I use moneydance. I always have kept a ledger of some sort, dating back to when every single half hour of overtime was tracked. Oddly, I have co-workers that don’t even track their paycheck every 2 weeks. I mean, must be nice to not have to worry about money. Granted, I’m in a lot better shape financially than I was 30-40 years ago, but still...
