Okay, I had made this topic months ago, but who knows where it is now. But anyway, what you do is list all the places where you got mail from today and do this everyday you get mail. For instance, here's where I got mail from today:

Springfield, New Jersey 07081
New York, New York 10281
Wilmington, Deleware 19850
Beech Grove, Indiana 46107
Detroit, Michigan 48226
Schaumburg, Illinois 60173
Pheonix, Arizona 85027
unknown (it didn't say on the envelope)

So where did you get mail from today? Remember, you can do this everyday!

No, not always. All I know is that it's from some bank and it's for my mom. As for the text where the stamp's supposed to be, it says Lexington, Kentucky but I don't think that means that's where it's from.

Lightning88,
How much of your mail is addressed to you and how much of it is junk mail? I love junk mail but I hate spam... because you can use junk mail as scratch paper but you can't with spam.

Except for the Beech Grove, IN one yesterday, it's all addressed to my mom and none of it's been junk mail so far. It's been pretty much all bills, bank stuff, stuff from my mom's lawyer, and a couple of magazines.
