Or, another reason not to name your son after yourself.
Somehow, probably because DH and his dad share a name, and because said Dad is of retirement age, DH has been getting a lot of retirement-related mail recently. Things like invitations to "financial preparation" lunches, Medicare seminars, and today a brochure from a local "senior community" or whatever they call a retirement home these days.
Those aren't so bad, because we can figure out why we're probably getting them. I can't figure out, though, why I'm getting the occasional advertising flyer from a) car dealers that I've never had any connection with, and b) those iffy refinance-your-loan places that are one step up from a payday loan joint. Those are easy enough to shred and/or recycle, but I wish there was a way to get off their mailing list.
Also, if you and a relative share both a name and a pharmacy, keep an eye on things. Apparently some of FIL's prescriptions were linked to DH's insurance information. That's a little odd, since they ask for date of birth every time we get refills. Easy to clear up, but still something to watch for.
And thus ends your public service announcement for the day.
