PCH

About a year ago, I (like so many little old ladies before me and many more to come) got sucked into the Publisher's Clearing House (PCH) blackhole. I have tried on MANY occasions to free myself from it's hold. But the promise of the 10 million dollar jackpot or 5 thousand dollars a week for life, just keeps reeling me back in.

Everyday, sometimes twice a day, I get an e-mail from PCH alerting me that my eligibility for prize money is in jeopardy or that I need to authorize the release of prize money by visiting their website. Once I log into the site and before I can get to the authorization page I am forced to view pages of goods that PCH thinks I and my little old lady friends couldn't possibly live without. Mostly it's things like "Mini Collectible Hummingbird Teapot Set" or "Grandma's Rules plaque" and don't forget the magazine subscriptions. And of course, there is the "no purchase necessary" to win statement in small letters at the bottom of the page - I think it stems from a little trouble PCH may have gotten into years ago when grandmas were spending their life savings trying to win 10 million dollars.

Most days I quickly scroll through these wonderful items so that I can ensure that the Prize Patrol will pull up in front of 5635 with a KARE 11 camera crew (they actually list all the local stations that they will contact when they visit), flowers and balloons and tell me I'm RICH! My response (they also send a script of what you should say, in case you're at a loss for words at such an exciting time) will be " I just won $5,OOO.OO A Week For Life from Publishers Clearing House! Now I know it's real!" (Smile big for the cameras) But I digress...

Every once in a while an item comes along that catches my eye. These aren't items that I necessarily want to buy, mostly I am amused that some little old blue haired grandma may be purchasing these items for themselves or loved ones. I thought I would share a few of these with you. Enjoy!
