Like "environmentally conscious" catalogs that get resent 4 times in a season. And "environmentally friendly" alternatives that are made it India. (Really? Shipping something sustainably harvested from India is better for the environment than simply doing without something? Who knew?!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-57496290505819661782008-04-12T11:14:00.000-05:002008-04-12T11:14:00.000-05:00Nancy--:(Gardeness--I'm thinking now that wallpape...Nancy--:(<BR/>Gardeness--I'm thinking now that wallpaper might be the way to go, a whole wall of return labels!<BR/>GG--Maybe we need to think of it as like getting presents at Christmas or on a birthday... each envelope hides a wonderful gift...?<BR/>Anna--Ha!

As the world's largest real estate broker with billions of assets and more than $150 million annual net revenue at stake, their financial power dwarfs most for-profit corporations.

I unlisted my number to keep those jackasses from calling, and have caller ID as well--if I don't recognize the number, I don't pick up. (And half the time, I don't pick up when I *do* recognize the number. If they have something to say, they can leave a message.) Wrapping paper! Sheesh.

Though I have opted out, in Tennessee if you are non profit you are exempt and can call whoever you like. Ever heard of the FOP?
