I think the OTC hearing aides must be hurting places like Beltone

3. I havent gotten anything like that in quite a while.

Just bushels and bushels of letters from insurance companies hawking Medicare advantage plans (also in deceptive envelopes). I'm sure those would also work for starting a fire. Since I don't have a fireplace, they go straight into the recycling bin.

Between those and all the pleas for contributions to various charities that land in the mailbox this time of year, I feel like half the world is trying to get hold of my nonexistent money! I don't begrudge the (legit) charities, of course, but I just have very little to give these days, and the sheer amount of this stuff is overwhelming sometimes.
