Stephanie, I should know better by now. I got carried away posting a reply on your blog and found that I was no longer online when I submitted. Well this time I am writing the reply in a text editor. So here I go again.

The gist of it was that I have two main mottos, “Give a little extra.” and “Trust yourself more than anyone else.” That also means “Trust yourself more than anyone else and let others do the same.”

I have actually rejected teachings of socalled wise people as many commonly accepted practices and values are downright cruel and pointless. I have even rejected some things my late parents have taught me. They both loved me and I am certain they still do, but we must be true to ourselves. My children have also rejected many of my ideas.

I believe it is reasonable to charge postage and handling for a physical gift but it is important to be upfront about it. Thank you for the offer of the CD. However, lately, I am overwhelmed with free gift offers and the postage, which is probably 12 or 13 AUD, is still a slug for me.

Beware also of the super cheap product for say $1.00. You may actually be starting a $47.00 a month charge on your credit card. You then have to jump through hoops to stop it. Better for the giver to give one month’s membership completely free, lavish benefits and then say, “It was only for a month. If you stay you must pay.” That way, you can easily walk away. Also the seller is likely to have less people staying but those that stay will stay longer.

So, Stephanie, I hope you and this loving cynic can remain friends.

I think it looks great. Love the new set up, though I will have to use to seeing the ads and sales so close together. Makes me want to go and change what I have been doing.
