you dont have to buy a house at all.

just rent one.

hell rent an apartment.

the sure fire way to get paper wasted is to put up a mailbox somewhere.

I have always wondered what would happen if i built a home and didnt build a mailbox

I found out why that is not too long ago - if you file a change of address form at the post office, that puts you on a ton of direct mail lists.

It's more than that. I've been getting life and mortgage insurance offers from companies that know exactly how much I borrowed on the house.

I remember once when we changed ISPs, I received by first piece of span less than one minute after registering my new E-mail address.

ISPs don't waste any time in selling your information.

You can avoid the majority of junk mail in the UK by simply registering on this website:

http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/mps_choosetype.html

You can also e-mail the Royal Mail to stop unaddressed junk mail arriving on your doorstep.

Works, too!

Take it from someone who would have the ability to know. Or should I say, the pipes couldn't be used for anything else, and boy are they massive!
