Dear previous homeowner,
Oct 22nd, 2008 by Emily
I think I have a clue as to why you may have foreclosed on your home. The answer just came to me as I must now remove our address from seven more catalogs. The total cancelled catalogs must be somewhere in the realm of 20. Scratch that, I am unsubscribing from eight of them currently. I unearthed another one.
Seriously though, what is so awesome about Duluth Trading Co.? Their tagline is “seriously usable stuff for women.” Totally usable stuff includes a genuine shearling hat that goes perfectly with … Swedish FireSteel fire igniters? More usable stuff to me would be along the lines of hand soap or even toilet paper. I definitely use that stuff way more than flint. Then there is another publication with 84 pages of cat accessories. I won’t even get started on that one.
I’m sorry that you lost your home, well only partly since it’s ours now and we love it. Maybe lay off the retail therapy temptation by not ordering a bazillion catalogs.
Thanks,
Emily
You’ll discover soon enough. If you order one thing from one catalog, not only do you start getting their catalog on a reglar basis (I swear we get 25 Victoria’s Secret catalogs a year) but then they hand your name off to other catalog companies and – voila – more fodder for your recycling bin. It’s so sad. So either (1) the retail therapy for the previous owner prevented them from paying the mortgage, or (2) they didn’t know how to escape the bulk mail so they just ran away…
