Money In The Mail.

I sign up for lots of things, and then forget them. They never send money to me, though.

I always think these are good "surprises". For a lot of rebates, they come months after we send for them and we forget and when we get them in the mail, of course, we are very happy. A week or so ago, I got a Kraft cooking magazine and I forgot that I signed up for this freebie until I got it in the mail. Enjoy your crisp dollar bill, Chevee!

I got that very same thing many, MANY years ago but they only included $.50 in with it. At least I knew to open it because I could feel the quarters! LOL

I always open junk mail if for no other reason than to tear up any personal information of mine they might have in there. I don't like any of my personal information even going in the trash! I've heard of too many people being victims of identify theft by criminals searching through their trash outside!

I had fun doing the diary thing, though. I think I watched more TV in those two weeks than I ever did in my life before!

Have fun with it!

Yep, I got a $10 dollar bill once..no idea why! I got a $2 dollar bill, not to long ago..weird huh? Imagine how much money gets thrown out?

no surprises, no money, guess i'm not doing good.i don't ever sign up for anything tho.

Hello Chevee

I've gotten all sorts of stuff in the mail that I probably signed up for at some time and forgot. I'm really bad about ordering catalogues from places. Just today I had 8 catalogues to show up from places and I don't remember some of them.

These are my only recent mail surprises.

My dear friend, I think with this kind of luck you should consider buying yourself a lottery ticket. Good for you but I have to say you're the first person I have ever had any contact with that has ever got money in the mail, unless of course a gift from a friend or relative.

Hi Chevee,


That was a stroke of luc, eh? we don't get junk mail now as we have put a stop to it, but we never used to get anything like money, just junk. Love and Hugs.

Hi chevee, Nope, I've never gotten any money in my junk
mail! I always open too also just to tear it up and
throw it out! I guess I'm not answering the right junk!
I do forget what I answer after awhile and I just love
getting suprises in the mail. It's always fun getting
free stuff. I get an email form a freebies site every
day and I sign up for free stuff all the time. But,
unfortunately most of the stuff never comes. So I think
that basically the site is a rip off just to get you
to give your personal information. The only stuff I have
gotten so far are some food samples and a toilet paper
extender roll!

Some Tips for not forgetting important things like sign up

1. Always use common username and password
2. Avoid spams in your mail boxes, ban or filter those senders, which you don't find useful
3. Try to create back up for all important mails in your PC and keep your mailbox clean for convenience
4. Create back up for all contact numbers and email ids
5. Try to maintain an excel sheet, where you can update all such memberships or sign ups with month of joining, username, password, purpose (importnt, casual), category, sponser's name, etc...it really helps.
6. Making a to do list is also very useful

All said and done it's very common to forgrt such things, all we can do is to avoid, if really feel important
