Where Do Freebies Come From?
So reporting from Life in the Shoe, Dorcas Smucker quotes the lady at the computer, “The shot is free.”
Which begs the above question.
How far back in the product-and-supply chain was that shot free?
And who declared it thus?
And with whose money?
Thus, today’s quiz question, you might say:
Free at McDonalds
Last week I notified you that McDonalds would be giving away free samples of their McCafé mocha.
Yesterday I took my brother-in-law to Woodburn (Oregon) with me on business at the bank and Post Office and grocery story. But our first stop was at the McDonalds on 99E.
Wesley (Yoder) loved his hot mocha.
I endured my cold one. But I don’t think that was Mickey Ds fault. It was just too strong for my taste. Next Monday I think I will try it again, but this time I’ll go inside so I can tone down the strength of the flavor and tone up the strength of the chill by adding ice cubes to my free drink.
Besides, getting out of the car will give me some much-needed exercise. 😯
Free Mocha!
Every Monday — for the next four Mondays — thanks to McDonalds!
Your Choice for Free
This came in our snail mail yesterday (click image for fuller view):
My choice: God’s Way of Peace
Oh, and I got a free sample of one of their new tract cards:
I’m very thankful to have been introduced to such cards!
And I may eventually order some to give our customers and friends. And maybe a hundred or two customized calendars.

Pep Up Your PC for Free
I just learned about this on Clark Howard’s site. I’m on a very slow dial-up connection here at home, so I’ll have to wait to download some of these programs.
Meanwhile, though, I present to you….

I’m Not a Winner
At least not when it comes to this kind of stuff:
But since I’m in an adventurous, adventuresome mode, me thinks ah’ll give it a twirl tomorrow. 🙄
Meanwhile, I’m thankful to be cynical about these things.
So much so, that the last time I tried out one of these keys must have been 20-25 years ago.
Skepticism and cynicism generally aren’t good traits to have and nurture. Generally. Surely this kind of stuff is an exception to the general rule.
No?
