Do you really do this? Your mail carrier is not your personal secretary. They don't have time to rifle through your mail and try to determine what you would deem junk mail and they also don't need to carry your garbage around with them for the remainder of their route.

"It’s frugal and environmentally friendly. It doesn’t look as bad as you may think."
You could switch to not using wrapping paper at all.

We get tons at my job. I’ve been wrapping my gifts in magazine pages for years, I just grab them out of the recycling at work as needed.

Literally takes a few seconds to scroll. Perhaps you could benefit from more adversity in your life?

My parents used the Sunday comics section. We loved it.

Also get out the colored markers and write "fancy wrapping paper" all over it.

I was going to say the same thing. Who has newspapers and magazines anymore? I even put a sign on my mailbox asking for the mail person to not leave shopping ads and junk mail in the box! I keep a couple of paper bags and rolls of Dollar store generic wrapping paper in the back of the closet! Does the job....

Most newspapers and periodicals are not reliable sources of information anymore

The dry air is very tough on old lungs. Your instinct with the humidifier is good. Another thing that might help is having them drink as much liquid as they can - more than thirst makes them want.
If they have a heart condition they may be taking diuretics to manage their water balance. This exacerbates the effect of dry air, and makes drinking fluids even more important.

Good thing you’re not coming to our celebration. But that just means more yummy lasagna for us!

This is why I go to Free Comic Book Day. It's free and fun wrapping paper. I used to use the Sunday comics, but I don't get the paper anymore.

Also try it ahead of time to see if your tub stays full overnight. That way you know if you need a new stopper.

Are you fucking serious blaming your hard-working mail carrier for bulk mass marketing?
