[links.useful, usa-centric] Opting out of unsolicited mail/phone calls

psongster posted information on how to opt out of unsolicited mail and phone calls.

I believe that they all only work for 5 years (unfortunately), and when one's identifying information (mailing address/phone number) changes, one has to opt out again. And, there are companies which one has to tell individually, as they don't use any of the services she lists.

But, still useful.

[food] Kringle

Finally remembered to ask my parents where they suggest getting kringle, in Racine, WI (where they are both from, and which is apparently the only place you can get kringle in the US).

I found a website for them, as well as contact information and a review. But they don't sell them from their website. My parents claim they _do_ ship them, so I may have to call.

Mmm... kringle... now I want some. But I'm not quite up to talking to random strangers on the phone right now, so not today. But kringle!

Now, of course, I am wondering how many of the people reading me have any idea what kringle _is_, if it's only available in and around Racine, WI (at least, in the US)... poll!

[food] kringle definition

Because wikipedia loves me... Kringle, defined.

(considering that I have a fondness for pastries and nuts and fruits _already_, plus a sweet tooth when the sweetness is of a good quality, kringle is pretty much a given)
