HEY! WHAT'S THIS STUFF IN MY MAILBOX?


How in the heck did my name get on all the fogey maiing lists? All of a sudden I have noticed that my junk mail has taken a turn for the elderly! For example, just today I received a copy of What Social Security Can Do For You 2008", a blurb about Life Insurance for Seniors, a little magazine called Senior Living. My junk mail used to be kind of interesting...Join Match.com, offers for subscriptions to Self or Redbook or Glamour. Now it seems I am on the target list for improved digestive products, discounted caskets,scenic burial plots, all sorts of insurance that will leave my heirs in tall cotton, botox doctors, etc. It is almost enough to make me afraid to reach my liver-spotted wrinkled hand into the mailbox! When I went to the library regularly I always thought the librarian knew what my life was like by the titles of the books I checked out...and now I am positive the mailman has me pegged as the Geezer on Cox Creek Road!
