Hampster Rescue Recognition, Blog Growth, Internet Scam
By Dan | October 16, 2007
I have wicked bad heartburn right now. Basically I got a big bag of chocalate chip cookies from the third grade teacher whose hamster I rescued. After eating about ten of these before teaching swimming lessons I knew I made a huge mistake. I was going to feel every single cookie when I got into the water. Fortunately I have tummy medicine that my doctor gave me a while back that stops the worst acid indigestion a person can get. I don’t have gastro-intestinal reflux disease, but a similar condition called gastro-esophogial reflux disease. Basically the lower part of my espohogas doesnt open properly and all the acid just builds up there, leaving a terrible burning sensation in my throat. Because of this I cant drink stuff like lemonade and orange juice anymore, and I really shouldnt be eating a shitload of cookies before I go swimming, or else I’ll pay (like I’m doing right now).
On top of the big bag of deeeeelish cookies I got several thank you letters from the students in that third grade classroom that were affected by the hamster rescue. Most of them were pretty cute, and some were kind of rushed with no effort going into it at all, but there was one that stuck out. It read:
Thank yuo for sav hamser. hamser got stuc and yuo sav him. wen yuo brot hamser bak to the rom avry bode crapped.
Below was a teacher’s note that read:
*the end is supposed to say "when you brought the hamster back to the room, everybody "clapped".
Frankly I would have liked it better if everybody crapped. It would have made for a better story. "So I saved the hamster and brought it back to the room. Everyone was so stunned they dropped a deuce in their pants and could not have been happier."
CHAMP TELLZ YOU WHATZ HOT RIGHT NOW- This blog. Its only been back a little over a month and already I have one comment and a new friend added. Unfortunately I already knew the person who made the comment and my new livejournal friend is already a real life friend, but hey its a start.
CHAMP TELLZ YOU WHATZ WICKED GAY RIGHT NOW- Freecreditreport.com. I thought that this website really did what the ad says, provide me with a free credit report. Apparently any one who requests one falls victim to a scam where they automatically sign you up for a monthly "credit monitoring service" for a charge of 12.95 a month. Imagine my shock when I take a look at my credit balance and realize it was slightly higher then when I last saw it after I basically froze the card in a block of ice so I would never be tempted to use it. So after calling Bank Of America, telling them that I did not authorize this transaction, I look online and realize that this is one of the most evil scams going. Most people my age are crippled by debt and use these websites to get a credit rating. Unfortunately they aren’t truthful and just put a leech on your credit card account which puts you in debt 150 dollars a year.
I feel so stupid for using that site, and I hope that no one else makes this mistake. If you did, check your credit card for a transaction labeled "CC Triple Advantage" with a deduction of $12.95. Its wicked gay.
