I was just going through my junk mail (or so I thought it was) and I've been subscribed to 3 different magazines so far. And, it's not the 6 months or 1 year, it's the full 2 year subscriptions! They were ordered through my screen name as I just talked to Better Homes and Garden and he gave me my screen name it was supposedly ordered from.
So far I would be reading Better Homes and Gardens (which is not me at all!!!!), Readers Digest and More.
Better Homes and Gardens were the nicest actually. (isn't it amazing that not one of these subscriptions, bills actually) don't have a phone number to call them. BH&G sent me an email back and told me they were sorry, if I got a magazine to keep it as one was sent and gave me a toll free number to call if I didn't feel sure it was cancelled via the internet.
Readers Digest PPPHHHHHHFFFFFTTT it's a press 50 numbers and still get no one.
Anyway, just wanted to warn you all if you get those magazine subscriptions in the mail and didn't place any orders. BH&G told me they were placed on 12/30/02 through Coolsavings which I haven't been to in 2 years since Freeride went bellyup. It appears something got into a coolsavings account on my computer and started orders magazines for me. How nice they thought of me!
Unlike some people, I do in real life have a neighbor who works DoD security and does all the software checks and such for Dod. She is bringing me her other computer tomorrow for me to use while she takes mine to work to see what happened.

You mean someone reading all the tattoos all over my body???
Is that what you meant by I was well read? LOL
Now if they subscribed me to fitness or Cosmo, might have thought about it but Better Homes isn't for me.
