    ......entry deadline, whipdedoo!

    Well I hardly ever win anything so it was a bit exciting to receive a package stating I had won the fastest return to the Reader's Digest Sweepstakes bonus prize!

    .......okay so here is where it gets ugly...it was a CD of Inspirational Melodies! All religious stuff so anyone who would like me to send you this CD unwrapped, not listened to, yes it's a virgin CD... Be the first one to send me your name and address where I can send it and it's yours!

    Some of the selections are:

    Be thou my vision, Lord, I lift your name on high, It's well with my soul.....ok you get it eh? Religious stuff which I'm totally not into but if it's your game it's your CD! My pleasure!

    Hey I love sharing the wealth!

    Tell us more, Legolas!

    Mrs Ozzie's mailbox is visited nearly every day by snail-mail from Readers Digest telling her:

    • she's in the running
    • about to win
    • whats your bank account so we can direct credit your winnings?
    • it's nearly there
    • are you ready?
    • coming soon

    etc etc ad nauseum

    I used to take it seriously but these past couple of years the stuff goes straight in the WPB

    I'm right aren't I? I told her it's a hoax.

    I usually take stuff like this to a used CD store, and get credit toward the purchase of something good. Last year at my Christmas party, I ended up getting a two DVD set of Yoga. I have no interest in it, so I took it down to a used CD and DVD store. I got $4 in credit. I used that $4 to buy a Whitesnake CD. I was much happier!

    I don't know if it's the same in Australia, but in Canada each of those Readers Digest packages come with two envelopes, the first one bearing a post office box number, specifically for people who are ordering their stuff, and the second one bearing a different post office box number, specifically for people who are NOT ordering their stuff.

    I honestly think that the second lot goes directly to the trash bin.
