Junk Mail

We await the daily mail delivery with eager anticipation. Alas, today came another batch of worthless information! Of course there were the usual bills that arrive without fail, But where's the check that guy promised would be in the mail? We've received more return mailing labels than we'll ever use. How our names got on their mailing lists, I have no clues. To top it all, a summons for jury duty was today received. Now that really ruined my day and left me sorely aggrieved! A startling piece of mail from a realtor wanting to sell the house. Thinking I had something to do with that really upset my spouse! A blatant ad from a vinyl siding contractor wanting to make a sell. Interesting we should receive that since in a brick house we dwell! Another envelope had alarming news from the local funeral home. Do they know something we don't know about a trip to the Celestial Dome? Our life insurance company sent their usual annual birthday greeting, Breathing a sigh of relief that our hearts are both still beating! Lord have mercy and deliver us from this onerous perdition! Curtailing this stuff would certainly improve our disposition. On the computer I can simply stop such stuff by clicking 'delete'. Oh, for such a simple system to make junk mail less replete!

Hilarious, Bob! You live in a brick house and they're trying to sell you vinyl siding? Well, I'm female and they're trying to sell me Viagra. What's up with that? These solicitors are wasting their time and money, but the Postal System needs financial support now and you can always use the paperwork to help build a bonfire. LOL Love, Carolyn
