Catalogs Clogging Your Mailbox?

I am convinced that the fact that two of our letter carriers have gone on disability is in large part due to the number of mail order catalogs we receive each day at home. For a while I was actually calling companies to ask we be taken off their list. Now I've found something better--Catalogchoice.org.

"The mission of Catalog Choice is to reduce the number of repeat and unsolicited catalog mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices. We aim to accomplish this by freely providing the Catalog Choice services to both consumers and businesses. Consumers can indicate which catalogs they no longer wish to receive, and businesses can receive a list of consumers no longer wanting to receive their catalogs."

I've declined twenty catalogs so far and can't wait for today's mail to arrive so I can decline some more!

Find Big Files in OS X

I just found a nifty freeware application for OS X to help scan my hard disk and graphically represent the file sizes present. It seems to run well on OS X, too. From the developer:
"GrandPerspective is a utility application for Mac OS X that graphically displays the disk usage of a file system."
I asked it to look at my documents folder and found a 1.5 GB file associated with an app I tried out but then deleted:

Though it's a free app, donation are appreciated, I'm sure.

Sums up my experience regarding tight glycemic control in non-diabetics

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
