Have you ever signed on websites offering free samples of products or gadgets for free? I used to do it for about two years and even though I resigned from it for some time (I'm starting it again) I got some free stuff: two identical calendars with girls in swimming suits, two Bibles - in English and German, a collection of disposable nail files, a rubber bracelet symbolising support for the victims of HPV virus, many stickers (cars and animals from Peta), two CD's from Peta, free quarterlies from Dove cosmetics club, two bookmarks (also from this club), a key leash, few books about Islam, a type cassette (probably with their prayers but my cassette recorder is in school where I have my teacher practice so I can't reproduce it now), a whole lot of cream samples (for all types of skin), a free pack of dog food and a dog toy, a guide how to feed a baby properly, 3D glasses, two diapers for adults (they turned out to be useful when I was suffering from a bladder infection :roll: ), a computer game for children, two metal shakers, a map of Alabama state, a map of Poland and other things I don't remember now. :D :P

Speaking of religious freebies I recall now that once I got a pack of 5 incredibly shoddy plastic rosaries in five colors :lol: My mother took one for herself and the rest was given by her to her religious friends :D

Just think of all the money I'd save, if I were to sign up to get free samples. I'd be rich!

I have about 160 CDs of free 3d art stuff, free programs (2 words; Open Source...;), etc. Most of that 'free stuff' is to get you on their web lists, so they can sell you things...so I don't sign up either...;)

When I reviewed movies for my high school, I got a bunch of those "For Your Consideration" DVDs (I s**t you not. It was mostly garbage like "Stomp The Yard" (1 out of 5) and "Norbit" (0 out of 5), but I did get "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters" (5 out of 5) and "Knocked Up" (my final review, 4 out of 5)). I did see alot of movies though, and I only got like 15 FYC DVDs in my two years as a movie reviewer (junior and senior years).

As for not wanting to use details,am usually have stuff sent to dad under his name-and will often send stuff to him that he would want so he's ok with it,just use someone elses details that know.
