I have a few Disney pins, but otherwise I don't really collect them. I love the pins I keep seeing on Instagram, but I don't buy them because I am certain I would lose them. Oh, but occasionally I buy pins at conventions and stick them to my badge lanyard.

The easiest way to get action is interestingly enough, sending them snail mail letters telling them pretty much what you have told us.  There's the address to write to, in all magazines with the publishing information, etc.  Usually in the first 10 pages of the magazine. 

This!

I kept getting junk mail and magazines for the guy who used to live in my house after we moved in. I tried sending them back marked "moved, no longer at this address" and it didn't help, I just got more. He then died and I marked th stuff "deceased, please remove from mailing list" and that didn't work either.

One day I lost it and I wrote a letter (saying he was dead and to please stop sending stuff to this address) on a piece of paper torn from a reporters note book and snail mailed it to them.

Not got anything since!

Wow, amazing that that worked! I'll have to try that. I did try going onto a few magazines' websites and canceling the subscription, but they want me to create an account first so that they can send me junk email, too. Obviously, I don't really want to do that.

This isn't really dramatic enough to go in the WYP board but I really need advice. 

So, someone signed me up for a bajillion magazine subscriptions. I don't know who did it, all I know is that I've been getting bombarded with magazines I don't want. I even MOVED, and I thought that when I moved the magazines would stop coming to me, but the post office gave them my new address so I'm still getting them! I'm getting all of these weekly tabloids and other magazines like Glamour and Allure. I'm honestly not interested in any of it. I've been leaving the magazines out at the mailbox in case any of my neighbors wanted them, but it's getting exhausting. When I checked my mail yesterday, there were about 20 magazines shoved in my mailbox. My actual mail that I need was all crushed and wrinkled up because the mail person had had to shove all of those magazines in there.

So here's my question: what can I do to contact the magazine companies and tell them to stop sending me stuff? I mean, this feels almost like harassment. When you get junk emails, there are instructions on how to unsubscribe to the emails. How do I get rid of these junk magazines? I hope someone here knows what I should do.

Two beautiful stories about Mister Rogers.

The first is from a young man who met him during a hard point in his life when his grandpa had just died.  Even though he only saw Mister Rogers by chance, in an elevator, Mister Rogers saw he was upset and sat down to talk with him.

The second is from 1969 when Mr. Rogers testified in front of the senate to save funding for PBS.

Mr. Rogers was an extraordinary man, and I think what makes him especially inspiring is that any of us can aspire to be Fred Rogers.  He wasn't an Olympic athlete or save a baby carriage from going over a cliff.  He was just kind and caring.

These made me cry. We will never have another man like Fred Rogers.

What are everyone’s thoughts on In Your Corner of the World and From Up On Poppy Hill?

I started to read the In Your Corner of the World manga, but I don't really like the art style so I haven't finished it. I haven't seen the movie yet but I think it's waiting for me at the library! I liked From Up On Poppy Hill when I saw it, though it's not my favorite Ghibli movie. It was pretty good, though.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding something good to watch. I started to re-watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but I'm not really into it. I also started Fate/Stay Night, but... I dunno. I'm not really into that, either. I guess I'm having a slump. I need recommendations! Harmonie -- "How to Keep a Mummy" sounds interesting. I'm probably in the mood for something cute.
