Dear PoPville,
Two years ago, I bought a fabulous home. The previous homeowner (whom I only met once, at the closing) never bothered to request mail forwarding/change of address service from the post office, and as a result, I’m still getting his mail daily–I’m not just talking about Wine of the Month catalogs and ads, but things like his 401(k) statements, tax bills, health insurance cards, etc. I’ve tried posting a sign for the postal carrier (who seems to change every week) not to deliver this person’s mail to my box, but that has had little to no effect. I’m getting sick of writing “return to sender/not at this address/please forward” on dozens of items (for 2 years!), but I don’t believe I have the right to request forwarding someone else’s mail from USPS (and I also don’t have his forwarding address). Any advice from others who may have dealt with a similar situation?

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
