Had lunch with May and NJKC yesterday. NJKC was going to a political fundraiser today, so the conversation got around to light political topics, and I mentioned the letter from the Republican National Committee that had arrived for Jay, that implied that he was a past member and donor, and my concern that he had misled me. May said she got the exact same letter about the same time, and she knew for a fact that she had never been a member and had never donated. ...And then it went off to other political fundraising topics. I don't think May realized how powerfully her offhand comment affected me. So Jay didn't lie. The RNC did. The (fill-in-your-favorite-epithet)s! (But now I've got hurt feelings again. If Jay got the letter, and May got the letter, howcum I didn't get the letter? And I want to be called for jury duty, and almost everybody I know has been called within the past year or two, but I haven't. I feel invisible!)

"...howcum I didn't get the letter?"
Don't complain. Think of it as your having saved a tree. Or consider that you are perceived as such a wise woman "they" knew your influence couldn't be bought. Or maybe someone saw the label and said, "Wait a minute. Kathie can see through this shit. Don't waste a stamp on her." Or maybe ... the "wheel of fortune" just hasn't dumped on you ... YET!
I like to think it's NICE ... "they're bothering someone else for a change."
BTW - 60 years and I have NEVER been asked for jury duty [and you don't hear me whining].
