Well, why would I blog about today's mail? Today's mail was a snapshot of our life right now. First, I was shocked. A catalog from "The Scooter Store?!" Actually, that was the back advertisement and it turned out to be the Austin Seniors' Guide.
It really has made me feel old. I didn't know that you started receiving this stuff at age 42. The boys laughed and laughed as I perused the visions of my future (or present?!?)
The second piece of mail is a summons to court. What? What have we done wrong? No, Karla was just summoned to Jury Duty! Her stomach immediately knotted up. LOL! Today's mail had us both upset, but for different reasons.
Another piece is just a sample of what we receive EVERY DAY. In fact, today was a slow day for these... college advertisements! We are having to throw away 3 to 4 of them every day. Cameron is only in 10th grade, but we are a target for mass mailings from all across the country! I know he is smart, but really, come on.I guess we are older than we think, huh?!

Gene, it happens to the best of us! I guess you're gonna have to admit you're getting "OLD"! LOL! Don't panic! It's not that bad!!
Have you received anything from AARP yet? :)
I get info from the Scooter Store all of the time because of my work. I don't have an explanation for you. As for the college stuff, we are inundated as well.
There are days, though, when I could use that scooter.
Wait until you get advertising for defensive driving or ticket lawyers sent to one of the boys. My kids know there is no waiting for the perfect moment to tell us of a ticket because in only a couple of days the solicitations begin! Welcome to the "getting older" gang. Notice I didn't say "older" but rather getting older. lol
Thanks for the smile this morning! Yes. . .it does happen to all of us whether we are ready or not!! : )
Would you believe that my hubby and I are in our late 60s and never have received mail related to the Scooter Store. Guess as long as you are young in heart you are void from receiving such. Seriously, what a fun post to read this morning.
Sis Hopper, I can't believe you haven't got stuff from them! I've been pre-approved for a scooter since I hit my 30s! Along with all the Medicare stuff I get! And the calls....
But then I also get samples of baby diapers in the mail, too! Go figure...
As for the college stuff, I'm praying for the rapture before my kids hit their teens!!!!
Speak for yourself about getting "old!" lol. We have been getting mail from AARP, but nothing from the Scooter Store. Thanks for the laugh today!
By the way, Keith was summoned for jury duty today, also.
Must add another comment. We do get AARP material because we are members but nothing else to give away that we are in the "golden years" (i.e., OLD). Go figure??
