I had similar experiences with Hillary's emails as I only want important
ones and am not interested in the silly cutesy campaign emails. It seems
that I'm getting less but it took a few days. actually that's a reasonable
price for lobster these days. happy birthday.

Subject: [blind-democracy] My latest adventure in unsubscribing from
fundraising emails
I tried to unsubscribe from Elizabeth Warren's emails. Don't get me wrong. I
like Elizabeth Warren. But I don't want emails fundraising for the
Democratic Party. The party is getting enough from Goldman Saks et al.
Anyway, the link took me to the unsubscribe page where I was given options
like unsubscribing from most emails except important ones or, unsubscribing
from emails fundraising for Hillary Clinton only, )I kid you not!), or
unsubscribing from all fundraising emails. Clever, eh? They've figured out
that seeing Hillary's name may prevent people from donating while omitting
her name will make us forget that she's at the top of the ticket. Anyway, I
unsubscribed from all fundraising emails. But when I returned home after my
birthday celebration dinner, guess what? There was a new fundraising email
from Elizabeth Warren, as if I'd never gone through the trouble of
unsubscribing. No, it's not my birthday today, but it will be on Wednesday.
My birthday dinner? There's one restaurant, The Jolly Fisherman, that has
managed not to change. Amazing! Same ambiance, same quality of food. You can
tell because three quarters of the customers are older folks. And it was
quite full late this afternoon. My dinner? Chilled geschappo (donpt know how
to spell it), green salad with bluecheese dressing, a lovely 2 lb. lobster
which they were kind enough to take out of the shell for me, french fries on
the side, (my guilty pleasure for the year), and blueberry cobbler with
vanilla ice cream for dessert. The whole thing is actually a guilty
pleasure. Instead of eating it, I should have asked my family to donate the
money to a food pantry or homeless shelter.
I think I heard them mention that the lobster, itself, cost $24.
