Targeted junk mail

I remember a joke (or at least an entry) on Russian Girl Problems along the lines of, "your grandfather sorts through junk mail saying, chto onyi ot myenya khotyat? [What do they want from me?] To give you an idea of just how Russian this is, it's essentially what mom is doing now: going through junk mail, which has gotten very elaborate ("gifts" from charities) and wondering aloud about why they send it to her. Must be because they have a big enough mailbox to fit all that stuff, so the mail carriers, not knowing what to do with it, leave it with her.

I really wish mom weren't losing her mind.
