I realized this morning that I forgot to B52OMOLISBE last week. Luckily I made up that rule about not feeling bad about it, so I'm not going to. I also wisely reserved the right to change the days in a week, so last week now officially ends today - SCORE, I got it in just under the wire! Go me!
Anyway, I woke up this morning and realized I missed last week needed to blog today, so I rifled through my pile of Things to Blog About (aka the junk in my craft room) and came up with something. I've actually been hanging on to this since before the holidays, but the computer that the scanner is attached to at home is now so old and crotchety that you have to turn it on at least four days before you plan to use it, sacrifice a small virgin chicken and say the magic words while standing on your left foot and balancing the keyboard on your head. Given the creative time management skills I demonstrated above, you can see why this has been sitting in the junk pile for the better part of six weeks. But I digress...
As some of you may remember, I somehow got into someone's database as being over 65, and have been receiving a steady stream of AARP membership invitations, guaranteed life insurance sales pitches and the occasional solicitation from conservative seniors groups. Early in December as part of this Bury Old (and Incorrectly Data-Entered as Old) People in Junk Mail Initiative, I received yet another solicitation for a Medicare Part B prescription plan. Unlike the usual ones, though, this one was prettied-up to look like a Christmas card. Sadly, the warmth of the holiday greeting was kind of ruined by this:
An advertisement? Really? It's a good thing they included that warning, isn't it? Because the cheap paper, preprinted address, bar code, bulk mail permit and enclosed information about a prescription drug plan would NEVER have clued me in otherwise.
