The mail just came and this right wing type group sent me another $1 in their mailing.
I don't know why I am on their mailing list but they can keep sending me a $1.

This makes about $5 now.

2. I could post their address.
Then everyone could get on their mailing list and make the big bucks.

A dollar is dollar.

4. This is a really nasty right wing group tol
I used to get letters from the Republican party with post paid envelopes.

I always sent them back stuffed full or taped to a box.

I don't get those letters anymore.

10. I just keep the money and throw awy the letters.
The group buys some big mailing list of names, and goes fishing.

They have money to begin with to send out $1 to everyone.

12. Maybe it is better if we do get some of the right wing hate mail.
Then we will know what they are up to.

5. I got on the lefty cause mailing list
I love all the causes but I since I had to take a pay-cut to half salary, I can't afford to donate to anyone.

Sorry, fuckers but I'm keeping and using the damned address labels.

14. Christ, who SENDS MONEY?
Cuz I WANT SOME. I get heartfelt entreaties by the sackful and the key tags from War Amps and a few crappy address labels. I should get paid for carrying this stuff out for recycling.

8. I get address labels all the time.
I have box full of them.

They must cost something to make, I wish they would save the money for the cause.

If I gave money to all the groups I would be broke.

11. It is crazy
I will say, I got an extremely clever one a while back. They used a brown paper bag for an envelope. That was freaking brilliant and now I want to use brown paper bags as envelopes.

16. I once used a piece of a brown paper bag as a check
To buy a watercolor at an art show. It was a performance piece in itself but it cleared, as I had said it would. I can't remember if the bank returned it to me. I think they must have. I wish I had saved and framed it. I could have hung it near the pen and ink drawing with watercolor it bought.

25. I just wanted the thing
and I had no money. I knew the artist to say hello to but I had never seen her stuff. She dressed like a hooker so I thought that if her art matched her fashion sense I wouldn't need any. I did. It was very witty, among other things. I was blown away.
