  10. I love it. The legal jargon is the best part. (Though isn't it always the part that makes you laugh in junk mail?)

    Do you have any deals or coupons for WriterTime? I could really use a bottle of "10k Words Per Day"!

  21. No wonder I don't have a bestseller. I'm not using these fabulous products. Thanks for the redirection. I can hear those royalty checks dropping into my mailbox now.

  22. Do we really need all these? I'm sure it's way above my affordability!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  25. Funny! But with this economic situation?

    ReplyDelete

  27. Okay, I saw the title and then skimmed down to "only 12 easy payments of $999" and my jaw dropped thinking what kind of cyber deal is that?

    hahahahaha I'm so gullible. The good news is that I figured it out before leaving any clueless comments. ;)

  28. Oh, if only these were real! Not that I could afford them if they were. Ha.
