OK.

This is a bump.

When I should have been outside digging in the yard, I was in here digging into my own posts.

And I found this one and I deemed it bump-worthy because this happened to me again on Friday and I bet it is happening to a lot of you.

What is with these magazines sending us this mail telling us that we agreed to subscribe forever and ever and ever?

First of all, I have never paid nor will I ever pay by credit card for magazine subscriptions. I have always suspected that doing so would leave me unable to escape renewals without jumping through a couple of hoops.

But I guess it makes no difference how you pay, they try to tell you that you agreed to stuff that you did not.

In the post that I put in this thread in January, Oprah was out to get me. Well, I have not heard any more from Oprah -- so far.

But now "Smart Money" is trying to tell me that I agreed to all sorts of things.

I had subscribed to that one because I thought maybe they could help me spin straw into gold. Well, they have not come through, and now they are telling me, just like Oprah did, that I promised them my first born child.

I would actually have renewed "Smart Money" but after Friday's mail, I am in a bit of a snit and may break up with them.

So watch out when you subscribe to magazines. They are getting pretty heavy-handed and rather deceptive in some subscription departments.
