02-10-2025 - Today, I received five money-making programs in the mail, all in one envelope. They are Money By The Minute, Great Cash U.S.A., My Daily Bread, My Free Cash Kit, and Money Basket. These circulars would make a lot of good reading if I did programs. I don't do programs.
02-10-2025 - The "popular website" strikes again. I get an offer now and then to advertise on a "popular website," but the website address is not provided. How did this website get so popular if it's not being promoted at every opportunity? One reason could be that, if I went to the website, I could order directly from the prime source, bypassing the sub-dealer. This is a lose-lose situation.

02-10-2025 - Good Morning! It's Monday! There was a Super Bowl yesterday. The Eagles won and the Chiefs lost. That's all I'm going to say about that. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready!
02-08-2025 - I sent four 1-inch display ads announcing this website to Small Potatoes Magazine. What did you do today to promote or improve your business?
02-06-2025 - It's time to renew my membership to the Independent Direct Mail Association. Are you a member yet? The benefits are well worth the low $20 ($10 to renew) one-year membership fee, and it includes a 50% dealership!
02-05-2025 - From the U.S. Postal Inspection Service - A Columbus man was sentenced in U.S. District Court today to 204 months in prison for four armed robberies of Postal carriers. The man used firearms and robbed postal carriers of their U.S. Postal Service keys on four occasions between December 2022 and May 2023. He was arrested in August 2023
02-04-2025 - From the U.S. Postal Inspection Service - "The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect(s) in the armed robbery of a United States Postal Service (USPS) letter carrier on January 27, 2025, at approximately 4:10 p.m. in the vicinity of the 1100 block of Herman Avenue, Akron, OH 44307. From MailDealer763: This might be worth a road trip to track this suspect down and claim that reward. Of course, you'd probably have just as much luck winning the Powerball.
02-04-2025 - I ordered postage stamps ($116.80 + $2.55 shipping = $119.35) a few days ago, and they arrived yesterday evening at about 4:45 PM. The problem was that the package was delivered after the regular mail, and I didn't find it until 6:00 AM today. I usually check my security camera activity before bedtime, but I didn't do it last night. The package was flat on the porch instead of leaning against the wall, so people passing by were less likely to see it. The package included Alex Trebek, Hank Aaron, Love, and Chinese New Year stamps.
02-03-2025 - Were you in the Mail Order selling business 30 years ago when disk-based publications were popular? Programs, like Computer Magic, Writer's Dream, Pop-A-Book, Simply Docs, and others, turned your text document into an executable (.exe) file that could be distributed on a floppy disk. Remember those? It was a fun time. But, those fun times also signaled trouble for the "reprint report" market. It wasn't long before dealers discovered you could buy and sell hundreds, and later thousands, of reports on floppy disk. Dealers selling a dozen or so reprint reports on paper quickly felt the pressure to join the ebook craze.
