A old king once sent his wisemen into the world to find and record all the knowledge in the world. After 20 years they returned with 20 massive volumes of knowledge. The king open and read the first page of the first volume...Turned back to his wisemen and said ,"gentlemen there is no doubt in my mind that you have captured all the knowledge of the world. However it is no good...I just realized that people will not take the trouble to read it, therefore I want you to condense it. Well the wisemen went out and stayed 15 years and came back with 15 volumes and the king told them the same thing. They went out again for 10 years and then 5 years and year and finally they returned with one page with one sentence...The king read it and declared" if everyone, everywhere will read and understand that sentence, it does contain all the knowledge in the world."
The sentence was." There ain't no such thing as a free lunch"
Over the course of my 62 years, I have seen many things advertised as "FREE".
My Dad used to tell me " There is nothing free, when you dance, someone has to pay the piper"
I argue with him many times about things that were free, he always could show me where someone had to pay for the goods or services offered for free...ultimately it was the person receiving the "Freebies" that paid the highest price.
On the internet you see in your inbox many item that are suppose to be given to you for free...but oh what a cost. Yes the items listed to be given away but you pay for them by your participation in other business or services...and what a price you pay. Time wasted on "surveys, opinion, and credit card participation. The cost to you in time alone would pay for most of the items offered.
Often free websites are paid for by advertisers and businesses in order to get the brand or product before the customers eyes.
It has become a science for me to decipher the cost in "Freebies" I will keep posting the results as I encounter them.
Tis a beautiful world we live, and our country is the greatest in the world. The Freedom we have is fantastic...it ain't free
That all for today

A hand is offered to the gentlemen and a bow to the ladies as a token of goodwill and fellowship!
