SRS - what do you do when the Direct Mail Association doesn't honor your request to be taken off its lists? My mom's been dead a year now, and I'm still getting catalogs addressed to her. Many are new ones I've never seen before, so I know her address is still being sold to companies. I've even called some companies and asked for her name to be removed from their databases. The customer service reps express sympathy for my loss, promise no more mail will be sent to her, and they're STILL rolling in. I can't manage to convince these corporate eedjits that dead people don't buy stuff, and pissing off live people doesn't help their image.

And re: store cards - just bear in mind, if you're gonna murder your spouse and scatter rose petals over the body, don't let them scan your store card when you buy the roses. (Most recent news story on said crime)
