Free = good, sometimes

I love the words “drastically reduced” even more than free most of the time.
Reduced says, “I have to, have to, have to get rid of it but I believe it has great value so I want you to be willing to pay for it just to show me you feel the same about it and you WILL take care of it.” Free says, “We both know that I should be paying you to get this stuff out of my sight but maybe you’re on cold medicine and aren’t thinking straight right now so you think you’re getting a deal here.”
The word FREE in most circumstances - free from the bonds of sin and shame, not included of course - is linked to things like this and this and oh yeah, this. Yes, you saw that correctly, someone is giving away a used birthday candle. Don’t bother though, ’cause that one is mine. It’s only an hour’s drive away at the most.
But this! This is a freebie worth mentioning and downloading too. I want to put the graphic in my sidebar but it’s just too darn big so I’ll place it in a post and hope my readers, okay Aunt Edna and Mom, whatever, find it anyway.

Seriously, a free used candle? What is wrong with people? I mean throw the stupid thing away and let someone spend the dollar it cost to go purchase it themselves! Wow!!
Thanks for the cool free offer lauren… I always knew I could count on you for the great free stuff!!
Well. I may have to take you on for that candle. Heh.
I am sooooo looking forward to this download. I have had my new Jewel CD in lately but am to the point where I know I love it and am ready to put it aside. But I have nothing to replace it–until now. Thank you for the link!
P.S. The comment about being on cold medicine cracked me up. Because that is the kind of person who would take most of the free stuff. Except for the candle. Which is a true find.
