That wouldn't surprise me a whit. It's an open secret that the USPS is, and always has been, in cahoots with the companies that proliferate junk mail.Originally posted by jetta:MG, passing on some info I found out. The USPS sells addresses which explains why we get so much junk mail. So when and if you do move, don't submit a USPS change of address card. Notify all your friends and the companies you deal with individually.
That said, I think it's still a good idea to inform the USPS of a change in address, just in case a company you previously called to report an address change, didn't process the update in a timely fashion. After all, you wouldn't want to get an important piece of mail, like your monthly mortgage statement, late. -
I'm debating. One for the reasons you stated and the other is that you get lots of discounts from different companies welcoming you to your new home.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:That wouldn't surprise me a whit.

And yet in other news, was at my cousin's birthday dinner last night
We went to Kuali to eat and had 2 large dishes of crab
The chilli crab tasted more like curried crabs and the pepper crab sauce was so so....
Actually I think both sauces are very average in taste but the crabs were fantastic!
It was extremely fat and meaty and filled to the brim with roe. Quality of roe was good too

flower crabs are not as nice as mud crabs .....

Flower crabs does not have as much meatOriginally posted by Fatum:flower crabs are not as nice as mud crabs .....

Texture wise it cannot be compared to mud crabs but I think Flower crabs taste sweeter than mud crabs
But I rather eat the meaty and sweet mud crabs anyday -
flower crabs have this tendency to stink when they come from polluted waters ....
when it comes to crabs, I like mine just steamed plain, or boiled with salt and water ... nothing fancy .... you can really taste the meat that way .... -

Zoe Tay to Advise PM on Swallowing
Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006
Topic: Local News

The Singapore Union of Cockle-Keeping Enthusiasts and Restaurant Suppliers (SUCKERS) has engaged MediaCock celebrity, Zoe Tay, to provide advice to the Prime Minister on swallowing.
Ms Tay was engaged following a recent ad campaign for a skincare product which caused controversy because of its veiled hint at oral sex – the ad claimed that the secret to Zoe’s beautiful skin was because she ‘swallowed’.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister suffered a catastrophic public relations disaster, when, during his 2006 National Day Rally speech, his response to Mr. Brown’s bak chor mee prank was to say, ‘mee siam mai hum’.
This puzzled many Singaporeans as the dish mee siam has never been served with ‘hum’ – the Hokkien name for cockles.
The attempt at sounding colloquial had in fact backfired greatly on PM Lee, reinforcing the view that he is out of touch with ordinary Singaporeans, and giving Mr. Brown the ammunition to fire back with a hilarious spoof.
“But it wasn’t just a PR disaster for him,” said SUCKER president Mr. Loh Hum Sup. “It really backfired on the cockle industry. Hum began to be the butt of jokes – it became really uncool to eat it. For years we had been planning to expand the use of hum with other dishes beyond laksa and char kway teow – yes, even mee siam – but the Prime Minister has set these efforts back by decades. Why lai dat, PM Lee? What harm has the humble hum ever done to you?”
Members of SUCKERS called an emergency meeting to decide how to respond to the crisis. “The vote was unanimous,” said Mr. Loh. “To rehabilitate the industry and also the PM’s image, we needed to get him to eat mee siam WITH hum. But clearly, he has expressed a distaste for it. So how? Who could we get to do it?”
The answer was also unanimous – Zoe Tay.
“She swallows and looks good because of it,” said Mr. Loh. “So I think she has a thing or two to teach the PM.”
Ms Tay agreed immediately.
“Pill lah, hum lah, anything also I not scared to swallow,” said the Queen of Caldecock, “Anything is better than the dialogue MediaCorp puts in my mouth.”
While SUCKERS remains hopeful that PM Lee will accept Ms. Tay’s tutorial, the Prime Minister’s Orifice has denied all rumours that the event will proceed, saying, “We wish to state categorically that the rumour about the Prime Minister learning how to swallow from Zoe Tay is completely fallacious.”

Terrorists Plan to Ruin World Bank/IMF Meeting - Mee Siam WITH Hum!
Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006
Topic: Local News
by Phoenix Klaw and Kok Kok Kway
In a sensational press conference today, the Singapore Police announced that they had foiled a large scale terrorist plan to ruin the World Bank/IMF meeting and destroy Singapore PM Lee’s reputation. The plan – to contaminate all local Mee Siam with Hum during the 10-day conference in Singapore!
Police Spokesman Kahnit Chilly revealed that Al Eetya, a Southeast Asian breakaway sect from Al Qaeda, had elaborate plans to use local distributors and gangs to add hum to all mee siam served during the conference. A centerpiece of the plan focuses on the banquet hosted by PM Lee on the opening day of the conference, where delegates were to be served a sampling of local food, such as laksa and mee siam.
The intention of this terrorist act is to destroy confidence in PM Lee, who had ordered during the National Day Rally speech that from now on, no mee siam should be served with hum – “Mee Siam Mai Hum”, he said. A recovered email written by one of the terrorists said - “This will totally destroy any respect in our enemy’s ability to lead Singapore. No investor or foreign talent will ever enter Singapore again.”
Revealing the sophistication of the operations, the terrorists had apparently infiltrated, succeeding in planting moles in the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Protocol Department is responsible for the food served to the world leaders at PM LeeÂ’s banquet. That even the MFA had been infiltrated must send a clammy feeling down the spines of our counter-espionage authorities.
The Singapore Police said that their discovery of the shocking plot had been due to a tip-off by a shrimp importer. The shrimp importer had been scared that if mee siam with hum were ever served, people might prefer mee siam with hum, instead of mee siam with shrimp. His business supplying shrimp to local mee siam hawkers might be undermined.
