This piece was so funny! I agree that people usually only send us mail when they want money. I never would think to send coupons. That's amusing. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes once again.

Lucky you Terry. We are overrun with junk mail, especially now with the election coming up. Every time my Son comes in with the mail I cringe because that means I will have to sort it out and discard what I don't feel is necessary. Good job her. I could forward my junk mail on to you if you would like. LOL Nancy:)

Nancy, Thank you for your very kind offer to receive all your junk mail! I think there is a law against forwarding junk mail, if not maybe the folks in Washington could agree...never mind, they can't agree on anything! Terry.

Isn't that the truth. LOL :<)))
Comment from Annmuma
You are too late for any 6's from me -- but I love the post! I am telling you again-- YOUR TALENT FOR WRITING SMILES is extra-ordinary. You have an innate ability to get the reader's attention and provide a much needed break from the 'real' world, while allowing them to identify with whatever situation you describe.
OOPS! I did have a 6 left.
Talk to yoy on Monday. ann

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another hilarious comment on getting older. How do we get onto all these mailing list of companies who like to assume our needs by our age? Well done.
One little spag: "But I don't think that works (that) anymore.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I agree, Terry. I believe writing 'return to sender' as you
stated means nothing these days. Those are likely just
thrown away. I hate the blatant request for gifts, too.
Some companies are such a nuisance with their freebies
offers. Lately, I haven't been receiving the metal (?) key to
see if it opens anything other than a fake lock. Maybe the
cost of mailing and the metal have put an end to that
obnoxious gimmick.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from Jesse James Doty
You place a picture of Elvis to entice the readers to your post. Then you tell us stories of mail you have received that you found odd.
Does this account for humor these days?
My favorite song by Elvis is Return to Sender so that was enticing enough for me to read further.
Thanks for a few laughs and a light-hearted romp through the mailbox.

AWW Jessie, thank you very much for the insightful and kind review! Terry.
Comment from MissMerri
I enjoyed this SO much. I can imagine there are many on FanStory who will relate with your story. Mail nowadays is mainly junk and not worth reading but some of us older folk still like to send cards and personal handwritten notes. I truly appreciate the ones I receive. Your writing is well edited and full of fun and wisdom. I enjoyed it very much. Only one suggestion.... "But I don't think that works that anymore." I think you meant to say, "But I don't think that works anymore." (I had to edit this on my computer because it was originally written on my phone and I can't use quotes or... you know.) I hope it makes more sense now. Much enjoyed!

I love it! I wish I had a sixth star left.
WE geezers can relate to it all. Excellent work.
Being a retired Postmaster, I can assure you that mail continues to be returned to sender. lol
Best wishes.

LOL, Wayne, thank you for the review and information about the Post Office, I did think I might hear from someone who had worked there. Terry.
Comment from Sally Law
Virtual six! Sorry to be out.... This made me laugh so hard I think I hurt myself. Don't worry, I was hurting already. My favorite one is the free hearing test. You have great ears and your heard Elvis speaking. :))
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for your writing endeavors,

Comment from nomi338
To be brutally honest and as truthful as possible. I would much rather receive junk mail, than to receive the daily barrage of junk calls I get every day, several times a day from the same telemarketers offering the same things I have indicated by my failure to take advantage of their generous offer. Yet they keep right on calling. I also receive several calls warning me that the IRS is going to arrest me for failing to pay taxes I have already paid. It never ends. On my phone right now there are 29 calls from the same telemarketers that have already called my several times this week, this month , this year.

Thank you for reading, and you make a great point about the calls! Maybe you can write a story about those, Terry.

Excellent idea. I definitely need to vent.
