Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

On Sale Now!

Happy Birthday to me! Woo hoo!

A while back, I ordered a poster from an online company. Ever since then, they’ve been sending me emails with “special” deals. It’s always some sort of percent off, and it’s always for a limited time. Until the next special comes tomorrow. Seriously, there is never a time when I don’t have a coupon code.

So they mark up their regular prices, then give some percent off if you have the coupon code. I don’t care for that business model. It seems dishonest to me. But I guess people like it. It’s a pretty established sales method.

I guess I’ll have to either unsubscribe, or just be amazed at the incredible deals that arrive in my email inbox every other day.

Thirty-five percent off?!? This weekend only?!?

    That is my beef with Kohl’s. Everything is some percentage off, which means nothing is some percentage off. That is just it’s price.

    Let’s take ’em down. You’re old enough now.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! In Hawaii, we would say, “Hau’oli la hanau”! We hope you have a great day! Go out and celebrate in style! You deserve the best!

    With much aloha…Russell and Diane

    I remember your 33 1/3 b-day celebration – and here you are, the next size up in records already! [Praying you make it to the final one (78 rpm) as well.] Hearty congratulations – obviously wisdom comes with age as you are clearly not taken in by the perennial discount method of marketing.
