Confessions of a Sinner

It was all innocent enough.. He was a very nice looking man. A knock at the door, some casual conversation, an unbelievable offer. He showed me proof, in black and white, that I had partaken in the past. In the heat of the moment, I acquiesced.... I've learned that my morals can be bought by a cheap, tawdry offer. I am so ashamed.

Beware of knocks at your door. I have a one year subscription to The Journal Times.

The offer that was too good to refuse? One full year of home delivery for $20.00, including the Sunday editions. As it was described to me, less than five cents a copy. Things must be very, very bad in the ink slinging business....

I don't know if I can live with myself. Vote me off the island. Give me heck. I deserve it.

Mom just got a renewal notice for $53, for, I think, 13 weeks? WTF?

kk, you mentioned at the picnic how you refuse to post on their site. Now you're subscribing? Tsk, tsk! You also mentioned how frugal you are - impossible to pass up a deal like this, huh? Maybe I'll subscribe for a year, cancel mom's paper, and instead of me getting the paper from her, she will get it from me. Win-win.

You didn't sign up for a daily paper. You signed up for their "Coupon special." The same fliers you get in the mail, they toss ya twice a week. You get 110 papers a year for less than .05 each. Still, that's a lot to throw away after reading. A little wax and a log roller will give you some heat too.

Watching for the kid in my neighborhood now.

kk, with the ads, I'm sure you'll save more than the $20 spent, sounds like a fair deal all things considered.
