We need new address labels

@DeborahDiane I don't know what she thought she was doing... But it caused me to miss a few month's worth of bills in the mail. I was busy with life and never realized I wasn't getting them until a collection agency called wanting to know why I hadn't paid something... I went looking and realized I hadn't paid bills in several months. I caught everything up and rented the P.O. Box and haven't had any trouble since. For years, she was always trying to do stuff to make life harder for me. Stealing my mail was only the tip of the iceberg... (It took seven years to get divorced from her. Her lawyer kept telling the judge we were trying to reconcile, so the judge kept putting off finalizing our divorce. I only found out she was having him do that when he put off finalizing the court case one time too many. I started crying in court and told him he was helping her torture me. I just wanted out of the marriage. He asked me why I kept trying to reconcile... I told him we'd never been trying to reconcile the marriage and he told her to sign the divorce papers... She told him she was going to drain every penny I ever thought about making through the courts... He signed the paperwork... and she kept taking me back to court for no reason until he finally told her if she took me to court without a valid cause again he would order her to pay for all costs incurred from every lawsuit from then on... )

@DaddyEvil - OMG! That is terrible that Pretty's mom was tampering with your mail. What in the world did she hope to achieve? It just sounds like petty vindictiveness. I think getting a P.O. Box was a great idea. Fortunately, in our retirement community, the mailmen have to walk from door to door, and we have a slot in our door, so our mail is safe from the crazy people out there!

We had a PO address in the country. Here, in the clubhouse, is a mailroom with all our 'boxes' in it so we have individual letterboxes but all in the same place.

@JudyEv I know what you mean. My major reason to use address labels is to send out cards for various holidays throughout the year.

@wilsongoddard I could hand-write the address but as addresses go it's quite long so I thought labels would be better.

We picked up three sheets this morning which will last quite a while. We don't post nearly as many letters as we once did.

I have one friend that emails so that's one less to worry about.

Do you have any friends on facebook or twitter?

@rebelann I think I have five friends on FB. And I don't 'do' Twitter. A few friends I email from time to time but mostly I'd send them a card.

So many shapes, colours and sizes. It would be difficult to choose if you wanted containers but we only wanted troughs.

@JudyEv - I'm sure after you have lived in your new address a few more months you will get plenty of new address labels. That is what has happened here. I get them from charities that I have never sent a penny to. I don't understand why.

@DeborahDiane It's amazing - and scary - how much of our information is out there.

We haven't had any this year. Most in the past were unsolicited but I guess many charities are cutting costs nowadays.

I've just written about our day. We got a lot of little things done and out of the way. It was very productive really.

@oahuwriter I have my cards all written up now.

@JudyEv Great! I saw that post, but replied here.

@JudyEv Yes I understand. That's why I send some of my cards by post too. In fact, I have already sent them. It seems to be a bit early but usually in December delivery takes longer and so I sent them earlier on

Thanks. We were able to get labels today. I do send some by email but others I like to post out. Some of my older friends aren't into computers very much.

@JudyEv They offered a free software you could download online to be sure that you printed perfectly in the area. I am sure I have it on my computer. Computers hard disks are worse than house drawers, full of stuff and you cannot find what you search.

We have Avery here and we have some boxes of labels in the office. I guess we should have printed our own. I'm not sure why we didn't although sometimes they don't print exactly in the area they're supposed to.

We picked up some this morning so we're set now - at least for a while.

@JudyEv that is good to know

@JudyEv That's great you do.

We have our labels now so that's a good thing.

I found them really handy but now they're the wrong address so I've had to throw them out.

That was the case with us too. It seemed to be all the rage for a while. Free labels at Christmas in the hope of a donation back.

It's a longish address to have to hand-write on 30 or 40 cards so I'm glad we now have the labels.

@JudyEv They will come in handy for you.

Does it print sticky back paper labels for envelopes? That would be handy. We have one of the other sort.

@JudyEv in fact it does - makes it really easy!

We've got them now so I'll be back into doing cards later today.

I picked up two boxes of Christmas cards from a newsagent. They were quite nice and a good price so I'm pretty happy.
