Comment from C. Gale Burnett
-The opening paragraph was entertaining, so of course I had to read more.
-perfect title
-loved the story in 1st person
-your answer to the 'announcements' dilemma was comical as was the hand-addressed envelopes
The post office is not what it used to be, nor is it as exciting receiving mail anymore. Great subject and exceptionally written.

Thank you so much, I am delighted you enjoyed it! Terry.
Comment from Lisa Tepp
Terry, you should do stand-up! Love this so much. We all get this type of mail and can relate. You have one improvement you could make: where you say "over fifty-five folks", I believe it should be over-fifty-five folks." That one missing hyphen makes it should like their over more than 55 folks in your building, not a bunch of oldsters. I know what you meant though as I am also over 55. Six stars for you!

Lisa, thank you for the six stars!!! and for that great catch with the hyphen, nobody caught that but you, and I do think you are right! Terry.
Comment from dmt1967
This piece did make me chuckle. All the news is bad and, at my age, it all seems to be funeral based or care home adverts lol. I like the humor in this one. Thank you for sharing and have a great week.

Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
This is my kind of humour. I actually laughed out loud a few times. I can relate to most of your scenarios, although I must say I never had an invitation to a cremation seminar. Your piece is very well written, kept my interest and wrapped up with a final little squirt of humour. Well done!

Hi Terry, this good fun, and all written with the proverbial tongue well planted in the cheek. Fortunately, where I live(in Spain) I don't receive any useless post like that. I enjoyed your missive. Ulla:)))

I wish I had another six to give you. I enjoyed reading your non-fiction piece. You did an excellent job, and I didn't see any errors to tell you about. Enjoy your evening. Shirley

Comment from BethShelby
This is funny. I could relate to all of it. I take that back. I've not gotten the benefits of cremations of letter. I do get letter wanting me to come pick my casket out and plan my funeral. I got a good chuckle from this.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
I have to give you a six for this fun piece. This truly tickled my funny bone and was a delight to read first thing this morning. I love the hearing test and your wedding and baby gifts.
Thank you for beginning my day with a laugh.
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
"Return to Sender", one of his best.
The double announcement, wedding then shortly thereafter a new birth is just how it goes today, isn't it?
What a brilliant way of gift giving. If the coupons ae worthy anyway. I have had coupons for restaurants that don't even exist in my area. the closest is like 200 miles away. That would not be a good wedding gift coupon.
Your mail sounds like mine. I'm and old "Coot" too, but this old coot is married. Married coots still get the same old tired invitations. Anything to get their hands in your pockets.
Really interesting post. It hits on every day, familiar situations. Fun to read. Good job, thanks
