Free mailing labels

Do you ever get those free mailing labels from organizations asking for donations? You know -- The Nature Conservancy, veteran organizations, etc. Sometimes I hate it. I don't want to throw the labels away, because I feel like it would be a waste because I can use them for the bills I still mail -- but we're not necessarily in a position to make the requested donations, and we already do what we can for the causes that have particular meaning for us. It's not much, but we try. So I keep the labels and use 'em, but then think about how we didn't donate anything to the organization that sent them. The other reason donating that way gives me pause is I think then they will never leave us alone! It's akin to a phishing scam -- you take the bait, and now they know they've got you.

Damn you, free labels!
