Loving the Free Stuff!

Man, I’m loving this new PoshPoints site. It’s like an online swap meet… you get some free points when you sign up, then you can use your points to ‘buy stuff’ from other members on the site. You can ten turn around and list stuff of your own to ‘sell’ and get more points back, or you can just buy more points.

Sounds stupid right? Why not just use real money, right? WRONG.

  1. I’m broke.
  2. A lot of other people are broke.
  3. I have stuff that’s not worth the fees to sell on ebay, and worth too much to sell for 10 cents a garage sale.
  4. Other people have stuff that I could really use, that falls into the same category.
  5. People with 15 free points are more than willing to spend a few of them.
  6. It’s a little addicting.

With my free points I got a used VeggieTales video, a book, and some hair scrunchies. I sold a few small things I didn’t want, and got 3 more VeggieTales movies, a little toy harmonica, an awesome new Christian CD, and have some new ponytail holders coming (I always lose those darn things).

I now have several things I needed, and a few things I’ve wanted for a long time and couldn’t justify spending the money on. I’m only out the shipping on the things I ‘sold’ (you do have to pay shipping), but the things I got back were worth more to me than what I send plus what I spent on shipping, so it’s TOTALLY worth it to me. AND I’ve de-cluttered some.

How can you lose??

I get a few points if you start selling stuff, but even if you don’t, you get 15 free points with no obligation.

Yeah, I started out weird

My niece has been staying here this week, and I’ve come to the realization that I really was a weird kid…

We went to church Sunday evening, and it just happened to be a night where they had a really old quartet come to sing instead of having a regular service.  When I say really old, I mean the main guy had been leading this singing group for 50 years (literally).  In any case, at their age, they tended to lead towards the “Lord, I’m coming home” type of songs.  The first song they sang my niece got a horrified look on her face and said “dang, not yet!” 

Now, when I was her age (17), I had already been hoping to die for 9 years.  It never dawned on me, really, that that wasn’t normal.  I guess I kind of always figured that anyone who believed in an afterlife would be looking forward to getting out of this place and go home…

In any case, I was noticing through Psalms this time around, that probably most of the reasons the Psalms bother me is that most of the blessings mentioned involve the promise of a long life, and that’s the last thing I want…

I always knew I was weird, but not in this particular way lol

Proverbs

Yay!  I’m finally out of the Psalms.  I usually enjoy reading them but this time through I just wasn’t feeling it.  Reading the Psalms when I’m depressed just ends up annoying me.

Proverbs on the other hand, is always a good read.  It’s also amusing me that the JPS version uses the word “dullard” where the King James uses “fool”.  For example, Proverbs 13:20, “He who keeps company with the wise becomes wise, but he who consorts with dullards comes to grief”        .
