NFL drinking problem

Recently, as I've been watching football on TV, I've been noticing that NFL players have drinking problems: As soon as they get water in their mouths, they spit it out. Now, I ain't no genius. But it would seem to me that by spitting out the water, they wouldn't be reaping the benefits of putting the water in their mouths in the first place. Perhaps someone should tell them, "Hey fella, swallow that water. You won't be thirsty anymore." #sports

Do not mail (3)

I can't believe it took me this long to think of this.
I don't get much snail mail. Maybe a few pieces every few days. Not a big deal. Apparently, as soon as you get a mortgage, anybody on earth can mail you anything they want. But like I said, not a big deal. I feel slightly bad that I throw out pretty much everything that's mailed to me. It's such a waste of paper and postage. I wish there was something I could do ...
And hence the national Do Not Mail registry. No, this doesn't exist yet. But obviously it should. It could be a simple thing like the Do Not Call list: You put your mailing address on a list, and mass-mailers have to check it before they mail you anything. Sounds pretty simple to me.
The only question that remains unanswered is: Why doesn't this exist yet? Apparently, there's an organization called the Direct Marketing Association that provides this exact service ... for a $5 fee. I don't trust anything that charges me money in return for giving my name and address.
Yes, I visited a similar topic in the recent past: The National Do Not Spam Registry. And like that topic, the Do Not Mail list doesn't exist and probably won't exist any time in the near future. #business
