You know you are a freebies junkie when you ...

have enough mousepads to carpet a small room

have 10 variations of a keyboard macro to automatically enter your name and address

can type the Web address of three or more freebies sites from memory

get depressed on days when only one freebie arrives in the mail

become frustrated several times a day because you typed your full name in a field labeled "first name"

have more than three free email accounts

keep a notebook with account names and passwords to keep track of all the free services you use

have ever used soap that came in a first class mail envelope

bought a color printer just so your Web-based coupons would look prettier

have ever ordered travel literature from places you never expect to go

use the search keywords "free sample" more often than "Pamela Lee" or "Brad Pitt"

have a music collection that consists of tapes and CDs of groups no one (including you) has ever heard of

are looking for freebies on the Saturday night before the last Sunday in October and see a window pop up on your screen informing you that the time has been adjusted from 2:00 am to 1:00 am

see the above happen and decide you have an extra hour to sign up for freebies

have a stack of SASE's waiting to be used

know what SASE stands for

have a pet with an upset stomach because her food changes every day (Those free samples don't last long).

Have ever deliberately gone to the Jelly Belly site at 12:01 am (Pacific time) to be amoung the first 500

received a large package in the mail that contained two breath mints and nothing else

Sound like anybody out there????Hmmmm???

Nope it doesn't sound like any of us!! No way! Because we are never lucky enough to get the free mousepads! They are all out there floating in the blackhole somewhere frolicking with the free baseball caps!!!!

OMIGOD! Could it be time for Freebies Anonymous??? NAAAAAHHHHH!!


Oh - and add this to that list of signs you're a freebie junkie:

You're obsessed with getting your free pair of ASICS that everyone in the known universe has received EXCEPT YOU! (OK - OK, it just SEEMS like everyone in the known universe...)


P.S. I think we *know* where all those free mousepads went, verwon. They're at glenn's house. What's your secret, glenn??

OUCH! No need to rub it in Glenn. I am *painfully* aware that everyone's got their Asics but me...

ARGHH--I STILL want my ASICS!

(Freebies Anonymous...sounding better all the time! )

BHunter - at least you got to ORDER the Asics, and have a POSSIBILITY of getting them! I have no idea why I didn't get the email or see the original post. I feel like the kid in grade school who is picked last for kickball teams

Well, then it is true!!!! I am a freebie-junkie. Somehow, I've entered "Freebie Zone" and can't get out.....next door to the "Unknown Zone" (haha).

Well, I'm glad I came aboard. I look forward to "shopping" with you guys!

Did *finally* get my ASICS! ...can my DUNK hat be far behind???

Hang in there, y'all! You just never can tell when a long-ago ordered freebie will show up on your doorstep!

(Free mousepads are another story, though. You can wait YEARS --and never see any. <LOL> I give up on them! )

Question

BHunter -

Is your real last name Taylor or Tyler? I had RPS at my door on Friday morning with another shoe package for someone with that last name. The address wasn't exactly the same as mine, but for some reason the RPS guy thought I might know who's they were (no such luck though - name wasn't listed in the phone book either ).

I'm hoping the company will forward them onto the right city/state combination.
