HEATHER ZIEGLER Some trips to the mailbox of late have been more than interesting and frustrating. I’m not referring to just the ridiculous number of sweepstakes offers or Medicare recruitment letters. It’s the letters, notepads, address labels, pens and coins from dozens and dozens of charities seeking donations. I don’t ask for these freebies, and I wonder why they spend money on these things in an effort to coerce me to give $10, $20 or more to their causes. And honestly, they don’t convince me to pick up my checkbook and start writing. Somewhere along the line of using online purchases, paying bills or donating to a charity, my name has been placed on mailing lists that could result weekly in enough mail for a good size bonfire. That’s where most of these unsolicited items end up.
