Have I got a deal for you.  If you subscribe to my blog before the end of the year, it is absolutely free.  You have heard, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”  Well, this is it.  Every time I post a blog, it will be emailed to your address free of charge.

Now, I know you have logged on to my site.  That means you are, at least, curious, or related to me and feel obligated.  I’m sure sometimes you log on and I haven’t written anything new.  I won’t try to guess how that makes you feel, but it makes me feel like I have let you down.  It is my responsibility to bring a smile to your face.  I think of myself as the little “smile meister.”  Now, the solution is for you to subscribe to my website and you will be one of the first to receive my latest contribution.  In fact, you’ll get to see it with its original typos.  I usually catch them and correct them down the line.

If you are reading this and you have missed the window for free subscription, don’t worry.  There is no window.  It is always free to subscribe.  Free, free, free.  I learned the ‘limited offer” gimmick from the local furniture store sales.

So, if you go to my site and you read my stuff, why wouldn’t you subscribe?  If you are like me, you are worried about what is going to be done with your email address.  Will it be sold?  “Am I facing forty yards of spam?”  Well, the answer is that your email address will be confidential.  I will never even see it.  I am set up through Go Daddy.com.  I called them today just to confirm the confidentiality issue.  Moira, a self-described Go Daddy girl, told me that their CEO, Bob Parsons, hates spam and will even come after me if I use my site to distribute spam.  This was more information than I needed to know.  And, Bob, if you are monitoring, I am being really good.  So, future subscribers, don’t concern yourself with someone misusing your email address.

Now, how difficult is it to subscribe?  If you have made it to my website, you are there.  There is a column on the right hand side.  If your column is on the left hand side, you are looking in a mirror.  Please don’t do that.  It makes it more difficult to control the mouse.  Go to the bottom of the column and it will say, “subscribe.”  There will be a box for you to type in your email address.  Please do so and then click the button.  You will receive an email so that you can confirm that you subscribed.  Also, there will be a note telling you that there will be an opportunity to unsubscribe present on each future email.

So, that’s it.  This is as close as you are ever going to get to a free lunch.  Grab it!
