When was the last time you used a phone book?
A real one. And not as a booster seat for your kid or nephew or to prop open the closet door while reorganizing.
I haven't used an actual paper phone book in years. They just don't make sense. They're too quickly outdated, they're unweildly, and they're wasteful.
They are, quite simply: Garbage.
Garbage that gets delivered right to my door twice a year.
When I got home from work tonight, there was yet again a little bundle of yellow joy on my door step and (following right on the heels of telling of a cell-phone yammering neighbor for STILL using Dibs) I simply have had enough.
So I searched the net (because lord knows you won't find the answer in the actual yellow pages) and there IS a drive to end home delivery of the yellow pages.
It's called the Paperless Petition.
I've signed it and I urge anyone else who's sick of this Delivered Garbage to do the same.

But, but they have MENUS for the pizza place in there!
Terri
What do you need a menu for a pizza place for????
EEE: I'll have a... let's see... um... the.... PIZZA.
Hehehe...
For menus, I like: http://chicago.menupages.com/
I use my phone book all the time. I would like to stop getting all the competitor phone books though. It seems like SUCH a waste to have them drop off the REAL phone book, then the "Blue Books" one, then the NEW YELLOW BOOK. Augh. I just want my phone book. But I do want it.
Sorry.
Bella. (ps, I loved your de dibbing idea. Hope no one keyed your car.)
I use my phone books (Mpls and St. Paul do separate books) often! Sometimes I can look a number up faster than, say, booting my computer up in the morning.
