I’m 30-years-old. I’d like to think that I still have lots of years of life yet to live.

But a recent junk mailing made me kind of wonder:

The lovely geriatric couple on the front look very happy, but they were the first indication that perhaps I wasn’t really the target demographic for this mailing.

Upon further inspection, I saw several advertisements that proclaimed things such as:
- A simple alternative to complicated cell phones
- Free information kit for a Hoveround
- Be able to bathe safely with a walk-in bath
- Discover the best of times in “Good Old Days” magazine
- World’s largest selection of walking canes
- Have you considered cremation?

There were also several cards for problems that may afflict men only, and comparing their medications to a certain pill that starts with a ‘V’ and is often solicited in e-mails but I definitely don’t want to put that text in my site because I get enough weird random search results, but I think you can probably guess what condition these may have been in regard to…

The only item that I would even consider in the whole batch was a Vitamix blender. Several bloggers on various food/nutrition sites I’ve read got a Vitamix and that thing looks like it is pretty awesome. Maybe it can’t blend a hockey puck, but it looks like it could blend up about anything you would want to eat.

How does my name get on these lists?
