I ran across this and thought some of you might like to try it. If you don't want to read how he did it, just scroll on down toward the bottom.The Idea The way I looked at it, if I took $39 and went to buy groceries, I wouldn't be able to get all that much. On the flipside, if I took $39 to a casino and lost it all, I wouldn't be all that upset. With that said, I decided I was going to try something — I was going to take my roll of stamps and send 100 letters to 100 different companies, asking for free stuff. I figured that I couldn't do any worse than blowing the $39 at a casino, and who knows... maybe a few of these places would actually send me something good. www.the39dollarexperiment.com/

He had more time to spare than I would to write all those companies. Not a bad idea but I don't think I would do it.

It would not be hard, it is a matter of a computer, changing a few words to accompany the person or people to whom you are writing, hitting the print button and going on to the next...it could be done, just not an easy way to make a living as you are not gaining...UNLESS maybe I could get FREE prescription drugs out of this deal, that would save me over 600 dollars a month so that I can live without being so sick...

Well as for the experiment i dont think i would have the patience to go thru so much trouble, & isnt the round house a beauty shop anymore? Worked good for that but i wouldnt think it was liveable.

I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL TO LIVE IN A ROUND HOUSE, THERE WOULDN'T BE NO PLACE TO STICK THINGS IN A CORNER.BESIDES THAT, IFIN YOU MAKE A ROOM WITH SQUARE CORNERS, THEN THERE WOULD BE CORNERS.
