    Did she have to sign for it? Because that could be problematic.

    No! Although I got all kinds of random crap for about the first two years - my favorite were the AARP invites (which I now get, btw). For a long time I just scrawled a note and enclosed it, and all the stuff they sent me, in the handy postage paid envelope.

    The truly strange thing is this, she NEVER lived at my address. I have a feeling one of my passive-aggressive siblings changed her address to mine so she wouldn't have to deal with the stuff she said she's deal with after mom dies.

    OMG.....MC.......that is toooooo funny!

    Whenever I get the postpaid envelopes I always stuff them full of other junk mail I have gotten, without my name on it, and send them back.
