I always check and sure enough they start sending those out a year before it's due to expire! <br />I love your picture of the snow and I listened to the weather channel during Nemo and Orko....I'm a weather nut! I was living vicariously through those snow storms. Of course, I don't want to lose power or have to shovel either! LOL! We are supposed to get snow tonight...maybe 2-3 inches but it won't last. I'll enjoy it at the time though. I've got the wood in for a fire and dinner made. Getting ready to make some cookies and then "let it snow"! Don't overdo it up there! Nitty loves snow but if Annie was up there she'd have to tunnel she's so short! LOL! Take care!

I got suckered once on a magazine renewal, and now I keep a list of renewal times. <br /><br />I got a "cute" marketing letter from a car dealership that looked like a government tax document. I promptly wrote a note that I did not appreciate their marketing strategy and that I found it childish and deceptive. I told them if they ever wanted my business to not send anything like it again.
