This is no big news, but apparently if you pay bills you’re popular. I’ve had auto insurance with my current provider for a few years now, across a few vehicles as well. I have no intention of changing providers, since I’m quite satisfied with the arrangements I currently have. Yet, I still continue to receive paper mailings from this other provider despite my ignoring them. With the onset of “living green” and trying to conserve, wouldn’t it make more sense for a company to give up after a “lead” doesn’t pan out? I’ve been getting mailings for over a year. I’m sure it wouldn’t save them a ton of money by ceasing just my mailings, but multiply the few cents it might cost by a few thousand, or more, and that may add up to some worthwhile budgetary fortitude.
I also just recently received a paper mailing offering me a great deal on a burial plot. I’m 29, which is apparently old enough to buy one of those. No need to remind me of my increasing age; I feel old, but I don’t feel that old. I’m not sure how this particular provider got ahold of my information. As a matter of fact, it may have been the same folks who got me on the list to receive an AARP card, which I was sent in the mail a few months back. Again, I’m 29. Hopefully plenty of years before retirement, and most certainly plenty of years before needing a burial plot.
I suppose I could say I’m content knowing that my information is on file with a few of these services. But, I certainly hope they stop wasting paper on me for the next, oh, 30 years or so. I’m just not interested in thinking about that phase of my life since I have my twenties to finish up, and my thirties to prepare for.
We’ve all seen those little tiny dents and dings when those pesky shopping carts have run-ins with their automobile nemeses, but what happens when the cars retaliate?
Probably looks something like this:
Another gem from over at fox news… a teacher gets 17 years prison sentence for allegedly filming pornographic films with a 17-year old student assigned to him for special instruction.
Wow.
What is it that these people think makes it “right” to do something like this? It’s career suicide, let alone just flat out wrong. I guess this guy doesn’t value things like a paycheck, moral values, other people’s dignity, or his own dignity for that matter. What makes him think he wouldn’t get caught doing this? What makes him think that student was enjoying it, or if they were claiming to have enjoyed it that they were lying straight to the teacher’s face? Very sad, indeed.
Here’s a link to fox where you can read all the dirty details. I just noticed that the “teacher” was actually listed as a “former” teacher. I wonder if that’s as a result of his recent bad press. God I sure as heck hope so.
Someone at My9 News forgot to hit the “Spell Check” before sending a title over the air. Here’s our prez talkin about that awful bomc svare in Times Square from Saturday. Sadly, Hooked on Phonics didn’t work for someone…
