Update: Well, I Got the Mail and...
...nope. Still no prizes. (See previous post here if you don't know what I was ranting about.) In fact, it was overall a pretty crappy mail day. We got an insert from our local newspaper that consists of exactly one article on the front page, and then the rest is all advertisements disguised as a section of the newspaper. ( I'm on to them now, so I glance at the front page, then throw it out. So ha on them!)
We also got a postcard from Petro oil company who has been stalking us worse than those little Geico eyes that are "always watching me". I called them exactly ONCE to ask about their oil prices and now they call and send things in the mail constantly. Hey Petro, I already locked in my rate with another oil company THREE MONTHS AGO - GIVE UP ON ME ALREADY!
We got a card from Beltronics which is offering us, our family and friends their newest way to break the law and evade the police - their pocked sized radar detector that even includes a database of red light and speed cameras!
Lastly we got a mailing from the place we normally cut down our Christmas tree from each year (we don't even own artificial christmas trees). I don't particularly need that info - we're going there anyway, and I doubt much has changed, but it's the one piece of mail that is not going immediately into the garbage.
Well, I'm disappointed I didn't get Murphy's Law working for me by having my giveaway prizes arrive, but at least I'm not a doofus for ranting about it and then having them show up.
The end.

Oh, I stopped looking in the same paper myself not too long ago...I'm sure lots of people are onto them. Too bad there's just the one story, but if you don't have a lot of time, just having to read the front page isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I've felt like businesses and charities are working overtime this year to capture what few bucks we all have. I've gotten things from the same shops and charities more than once in a month. And yep - most of my mail this month has been junk as well. They actually have a recycling bin at the PO next to the boxes! LOL
Hey Carole, I promise if you win one of my giveaways you will receive your item lickity split!
I would be horrified if I was the blogger that sponsered a giveaway and then never bothered to send the item. Have you contacted them?
I promise to send if you sign up for mine and win!
