Your Snail Mail in your Email
Earth Class Mail is a service that basically allows you to have your snail mail sent to them so that you can view it online instead of in your own mail box. They show you scanned copies of all of your mail, and then you can choose which bits you’ll read and what will get shredded.
From their website:
With an online PO Box you’ll manage your postal mail as easily as your email.
View scanned images of your sealed envelopes online, then choose to have your mail securely scanned into a PDF document, recycled, shredded or forwarded to you or someone else.
I like the recycling bit so much, we get pound after pound of SPAM in our mailbox, plus the price is right starting as low as $10/month. This service seems exceptionally cool save for the fact that it seems like it might take 1 – 2 extra days to receive mail (one for them to scan it, one for them to open it after you’ve said you want to read a particular piece of mail?) though I can’t be sure of that.

ah yes, that plan sounds nice!

Ahh…well the plan involves one part RV and us homeschooling Tristan for a year while we park off wherever seems nice, I suppose.
I’m sure Portland will find itself as our back yard a time or two as well!
Niqkita
now what have I missed? what are you two up to “next year”???
nathan
No problem, Julie – I’m interested to see how well it works.
And somehow I hadn’t even thought of using this for next year, O, but that could save us a huge amount of hassle!

This sounds perfect since it looks like I’ll be in Serbia for a much longer time than I will be in the U.S….Thanks!

I like my snail mail. Besides they might shred something I really wanted.

This is AMAZING!!! I cant believe a service like this exists. It’ll be a perfect solution for next years plans.
