We have the same problem, it's just unbelievable. We complain and complain and it gets worse. I give up

There's a phone # you can

There's a phone # you can call, I think, to get them to stop. Don't know what it is?

You mean the pest control number?

At least you guys get crate and barrell. We get catalogs from K-mart every day. Didn't they go out of business?

We should all get together

- submitted by greatide3a on 04/30/2007

We should all get together and every month deliver a truckload of the catalogs back to the front door of our local C&B's or Kmarts. We're in southern CT and we need a separate room for the crap until our b-weekly recycling.

We get catalogs plus adverts

- submitted by helpless on 04/30/2007

We get catalogs plus adverts for fertilizing our lawn. Really we get at least 5 feritlizer mailings a week. Are these national fertiziler chain stores? We've never heard of any. We call their 800 numbers and they sound like they're under water.

I called a number to cancel all the mailings and my husband had a fit. He wants, yes wants, to get the garden equipment catalogs, the zillion a day we get.

I told him if he now activated those mailings somehow I'd leave him and take the kids. I screamed. I almost meant it. He laughed and called me names but backed down.

I think he's probably insane

My question is, how many

- submitted by Anonymous on 04/30/2007

My question is, how many companies are out in the ether selling patio furniture. We get dozens of catalogs a week. They all sell the same cast iron crap and southwest style, are they run by 1 person?

What is that phone # you're supposedc to be able to call to cancel all these mailings. Why is it legal for the companies do it? They should have to come to your house and pick them all up.

Remember when aol used to

- submitted by nutser on 04/30/2007

Remember when aol used to send millions of their disks out in the mail? Eventually they were required to stop or collect them because people were throwing them away almost as fast as they received them.

Catalog companies should have to do the same. I like the idea of dumping them in front of the stores.

I've saved all my old aol discs, figuring they'd be a collectors item 1 day. Remember we used to get 100s every week. Times have changed

I know it's embarrassing but I like getting catalogs. I recycle most but I enjoy skimming through them seeing what's current.

Cataloglover, you ought to be embarrassed. How many sofa pillows can you skim through without becoming catatonic? If I were you I'd get out more. Here's an idea: instead of reading catalogs read books. Remember them? LOL

Problem with books is they

Problem with books is they don't have photos of sofa pillows, and I want my sofa pillows too!

When we fill 1 entire room

When we fill 1 entire room with catalogs we're going to call C&B and the others and demand they come over and remove them. HA

Sounds pretty stupid to me, filling up a whole room. What's the expression, cutting off your nose to spite your face, eh?

When I am bored (very, very

- submitted by onceadaylily on 05/05/2007

When I am bored (very, very bored) I play the game with the catalogs, that I used to play as a kid, after the Sears catalog came. The game is One Thing From Every Page. I am only allowed to choose one, but I must choose only one.

As an adult, I only told one friend about this game. She narrowed her eyes, cocked her head, and looked at me for a long moment, before she finally, "ONLY one thing? Even on, like, things that should be a set, but are priced individually?"

When I told my partner about the game, he was all to quick to brandish a Staples catalog. "No," I said patiently. "That's a different game. That's the Quarterly Budget game. You have a small staff, so . . . how does twenty-eight hundred bucks sound?"

"Is my company headed for bankruptcy?" he asked. "Because that doesn't even keep me in ink and good paper."

Do I need to say that I like catalogs?

Oh, and if the tide of catalogs from a single company suddenly increases after you complained, then I have to point out that there might have been some sort retaliation from the one who actually took your complaint.
