FREE SAMPLE #11 FIRST MOVEMENT

Ah, fiber. Here is your fiber starter kit. Handy cup with fill line indicated, two packets of the product, a coupon for future savings, and printed info to read while on the potty. Jealous, huh? I'll let you know how things turn out.

FREE SAMPLE #10 BIG POSTER

Got this huge cool poster of life in an estuary from the National Something Something and Something. I wrote it down and then forgot where I wrote it. Yeah. Well, it's really cool. I've given it to J to send to A.

FREE SAMPLE #9 KEEP IT CLEAN CONTINUED

Well, a different kind of clean. A personal cleansing cloth is provided with this Always pad. How nice. Just don't use the Lysol wipes on your delicates. Ouch.

FREE SAMPLE #8 KEEP IT CLEAN

More free stuff. I'll have clean counters and sinks and anything else that needs to be clean. I should bring these to work. Cubicles are really gross.

FREE SAMPLE #7 SUNSILK

Yes, another bad photo. Sorry. I snapped this quickly right before I left for work this morning. Some time this weekend I will Inflate the flat, as it were. I'll let you know the results.

FREE SAMPLE #6 BRAGGING RIGHTS

You've all seen the Braggs Amino Acid and other products. Well, if you need any info on the stuff let me know. I've got lots of printed material and two tiny packets of the actual product (suggested as a substitute for tamari/soy sauce). I'll let you know as soon as I try it.

FREE SAMPLE #5 TRAVEL INFO

Sure, free travel info can be had just about anywhere. But this is one of the items I received for free from my Get Free Stuff From The Internet project. Sorry for the bad pictures. There will prbably be more bad pictures during this project.

FREE SAMPLE #4 (but no elixir)

Uncle Henry's Tooth Powder. Just mix with the elixir and you're all set. That's how they get you to have to buy the elixir. I think I'll just use water and take my chances. I'll let you know what happens.

FREE SAMPLE #3 DEM BONES DEM BONES

More free stuff. Eight Viactiv calcium chews. Erin and I had to taste a couple before the Al Gore presentation we caught last night. Al, we love ya, great show, but stay out of the Shoni's of the world.

I wonder what the mailbox will hold today?

FREE SAMPLE #2

The natural choice indeed. Received another free sample this weekend. The Natural Lamb lubricated condom. No, not really made of lamb anything but latex free. If anyone would like the helpful pamphlet, let me know. The condom, however, is mine.

STILL HERE

Yes, I'm still here. Life has been, well, life. Some changes have taken place. It's a difficult thing but, ultimately, a good thing. In the meantime, I'd like to get back into blogging and even the newsletter. So let me ease my way back into blogging by reporting that I have received my first FREE sample of something. Lately, to ease mental stress, I've been partaking in the Internet's offers of free samples. Everything from shampoo to tea to coffee to t-shirts. My mail carrier will soon hate me. However, the wave of free samples begins as a trickle. Yesterday I received a free Kashi cereal bar. Very tasty indeed. How healthy has yet to be determined. I did consume 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein for my calories. But these types of "healthy" bars and "energy" bars are mostly calories and sugar. Like Gatorade, it's not about health, it's about marketing and sugar. Regardless, I will be documenting the free stuff as it arrives. Stay tuned.
