Mad Scam

Sunday, Sept. 06, 2009 - 1:44 a.m.

All right. John and I are all caught up with Mad Men. The new episode is tonight.

Even money on whether or not we'll forget and miss it.

There's a crack in an important portion of the suspension system of the Bay Bridge, near where the new piece is being installed.

Hopefully there won't be a delay in the reopening.

I just tried to warn a friend of mine about the fact that she's getting into a MLM scam, and she just kind of nodded and smiled and said that was very interesting.

So, I said I was just trying to make sure she saw it from all angles, and when she loses her money, I'm not going to listen to her snivel.

The big question is: "If this company is so successful, how come except for one mention on one television show once, and a sheaf of complaints to the FCC, it doesn't exist outside of backroom secret seminars?"

There comes a point when you let it go and try not to worry about it.

She's been removed from my chat program and my newsfeeds, because she's in Sales Mode.

I'll let her get it out of her system and then check on her around springtime.

All right, that's it. Have a good Sunday.

My wife and I just started watching Mad Men. We are two discs into season one. So far, it's rather interesting, and WOW, did people really smoke that much back then?? Geez!! We've been conditioned in the past decade to not seeing cigarettes as much as we did back then. And alcohol readily available in the office...holy cow, things were different!

Largely because of your description I've started watching Mad Men from Season 1. It took me a little while to get into it, and I still have trouble telling the characters apart (is it just me or do many of them look exactly alike?) but I am now well and truly sucked in. Thanks, because it's come just at the right time for me, stuck in bed and trying to distract myself...
