    On my 74th birthday this year I got 2 pieces of mail. One was for hearing aids, and the other was a sale on burial plots. Think they are trying to tell me something?

    I haven't received the burial plots yet, but I do get hearing aids, Life Alert and motorized wheelchairs.

    Hi Sillysusan, Glad to know you are so close, we will have to stay in touch, you know it is small world. I too, have bought the shampoo from Tractor Supply and have friends who use it. I had a call this week wanting money for something so I told them they had a business this was the " honey farm". He apologized and hung up.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with the location on our cell phones. If you have it on all the time, they might be tracking your location signal, like in that TV program. (Don't know if that is possible, it was just a thought.)

    Palmetto girl, I'm sure we'll run into each other here many times. Nice to meet an almost next door neighbor! We Carolina girls have to stick together!

    I don't know about tracking, but I had a weird experience. I totalled my minivan, and not a week later, I started seeing offers in my spamcatcher email offering to buy it! I did not give that email address to anyone connected with the accident. Not the insurance agent, not the other driver, not the hospital, not the car rental company. How did these people a) know that the van was totalled, and b) where did they get that address? (Of course, once we filed the insurance claim it wasn't available for sale anyway.)
