Truth in advertising

flexagonTonight I opened a bunch of snail mail and dealt with it. The wording on the advertisements I received said:
And I want those things, oh yes. I want to exercise choice as I steer my little boat down the stream, I want to have good judgement and be free of worries, I want a few especially close relationships with people (a family, basically) who will give me special consideration because they love me. The advertisers have it so right, it's kind of a shame they can't really offer those things.
Also, I just made my 100th loan through kiva.org. I was sure this would happen from the day I first heard about Kiva. Cumulative efforts over time are kind of magic; now that I'm on my fifth year of lending monthly I make 4 or 5 loans in an average month, because of all the money getting paid back on prior loans. I'm not sure which of this batch the 100th was, but we'll say it was Zinsou Francis Boko, who sells electrical parts door-to-door in Benin; he has the coolest name.
He also still needs $50 to fulfill his loan, hint, hint.
- HERE'S THAT SECOND CHANCE YOU HOPED FOR
- join the inner circles
- Choose from hundreds of destinations
- Be on the inside and receive special benefits.
- Now it's easy to spot the good guys.
- No more sleepless nights! No more worry!
