Getting it Wrong

[imec]

Here's what happened to some poor woman here yesterday:

"A woman treated for allergies at a Winnipeg hospital says she was shocked to receive a card from hospital staff days later consoling her family over her death.

Rhonda Robertson was treated for hives and released from Concordia Hospital in early September.

But Monday, she received a sympathy card from hospital staff addressed to "the family of Rhonda Robertson." She said it took a few minutes before realizing what the card was implying.

"And that's when it kind of disturbed me to think that I died," Robertson said. "It's an eerie feeling inside.""


I count the letter I received from my provincial elected representative today as belonging to te same category - it opens with "I would like to invite you to participate in two seniors' wellness programs... "

O.K., so I ain't that fresh no more, but a senior?!!!

OH, that is funny in a sick way!

Re: "senior" ~~ my mother said my invitation to join AARP arrived in the mail the very day of my fiftieth birthday.

I may actually join a local "seniors'" association, loath as I am to do that - you can join at 50. No, not to do line-dancing, but because they have a very good deal on travel insurance.

A few years ago, I already started receiving junk mail for hearing aids. I was furious.
