Nutrisystems Sucks

I needed to lose weight. Those infomercials sucked me in. I went on line to sign up, after all -- look at all the celebrities who had success. Well they must have been receiving different food then I did. When I was going back and forth with the live chat on line -- I should have known something was amiss, not kosher, just wrong. On line I think the person I was chatting with had never eaten nutrisystems -- and probably never will. The language & their sentence structure was not normal. I am pretty sure they were located in India.

Anyway they assured me --
IF I PURCHASE NOW AND AM NOT SATISFIED I CAN CANCEL AND NOT GET CHARGED ANY ADDITIONAL FEE FOR EARLY CANCELLATION.

SUCKER!

They charged me an extra $50 on top of the agreed price for the food. Once they have your card number you are screwed. I still have this huge box of crap food in the pantry and every now and then when I don't want to make something and I feel guilty about the expense -- I open one of the packets and force myself to eat it. It does make it easier to swallow if you wash it down with 2 glasses of wine.

Professional Blogger

I was watching TV the other day and they were talking about a professional blogger named "Perez Hilton". How does one become a professional blogger? How many blogs do you need to write to be considered a professional? How do you get paid to be a professional blogger. I have written 3 blogs and have not received a penny. Do you need a degree in blogging? I have been looking for a part-time job and have never seen an ad for a blogger. And where did the word blogging come from? Someone had to make up the name -- who did it? I need answers.
