But I Never Win Anything!

On a recent morning, I found this in my email inbox:

Congratulations!  You are one of our five March Lucky Threads Insiders.  Each month we select members to receive a prize and our March prize is our 2011 Threads Magazine Archive.  You can see more information on the Archive here -  http://store.threadsmagazine.com/2011-threads-magazine-archive-031029.html.  The DVD should ship out tomorrow and you should receive it in the next few days.  Congratulations and thank you for being a Threads Insider!

It's my nature to be a little suspicious. Was it safe to click the link? Was my computer being infected with some horrible virus?  Yes, I paid for a Threads Insider subscription, but I never win anything!

A few days later, this arrived:



My luck has changed!  Maybe I'll buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket!  Maybe I'll meet Idris Elba in the supermarket and he'll insist on taking me off to Brazil for a wild, guilt-free, three-day weekend!  And when we get back, I'll find I won the lottery!

Or maybe I should just count my blessings and watch the DVD.

  1. LOL. Congratulations! It's a great prize. Just think, now you can clear out some more room and get rid of your old Threads if you have them.

    1. That's exactly what I was thinking! I can clear out my old Threads and make room for my old Burdas!

  3. Congratulations. I bought this a while back and still haven't cleared out my magazines (which are going to my SIL).

    1. At least you have a destination in mind for your magazines. I haven't decided yet what to do with mine.
