... so I hope it does for you too. ;)

I got this email from Abe Books earlier today (I've C&Ped on the subject):

What a deal! :D I'd be a sucker NOT to get it!

(To be fair, I think they meant to say 40%. They sent me another email with 40% off). :)

Hmm ... either "well-being" or "wellbeing" (sic) is considered OK. (It's obviously not a science, though). :P

Other than that ... nearly 3.4 million people enrolled, and only 27,099 ratings? Yes, I wouldn't trust a sample that small (less than 1%), especially when they give a rating that high. :D

Is that what you mean, DPX? If not, I've probably missed something obvious that I'd kick myself for later. *blush*

It's that it's "Enroll For FREE"
Then right next to it "Financial aid available"

Oh! :oops: :lol:

On the other hand, this Laurie Santos (whoever she is) could argue that while the act of enrolling is free, the actual course/seminar/whatever isn't. Ye olde bait-and-switch. ;) Right?

Also, "Enrol for Free; Starts Mar 25" sounds suspicious. What starts on March 25, exactly? The enrolment process? Or the course/seminar/etc.?

This whole thing has 'litigation' written ALL over it ... :lol:

Er, what's wrong? *blush* I admitted I missed the point -- whoops -- but then I noticed a couple of other not-quite-kosher things about this. Is that a problem? *blush*
