I have figured out that a lot of people are not working very hard, or at all, this week, so today I am in entertainment mode.
One of the things about being a blogger is that it makes all sorts of people consider you a friend of sorts, flooding your email box with pitches to plug their product or service.
They always begin sort of breezy, like we've known each other for years, "Hi Kaid . . ." Some days, I actually get a dozen or so of these things.
Here are some favorites from just the last couple of weeks or so. Really. Enjoy:
