MY NEW BFF

MY new BFF - or as the kids say - Best Friend Forever - has sadly become none other than PCH - formerly known as Publishers Clearing House. On a slow news day in the Sullivan house I committed an incredibly dumb mistake. Some background is in order. In prior years we all - except those who were not qualified -(whoever the hell those poor souls might be) were recipients ONCE a year of an invitation to receive coupons that would put you in the running via filling out the enclosed coupons guaranteed to make you eligible to win great prizes if you would only mail them back to PCH. Should you have that once in 10 million (or whatever) opportunity to win thus having the PCH come to your house - with video cameras - klieg lights etc - and supposedly surprise you with the amazing news that you were a Publishing Clearing house as the carrot of the mailing. PCH is now much more sophisticated. They are a little like the guy back in the 70s who came up to you in the bar beseeching you to lend him $5. Depending on how much scotch I had consumed or the amount of my winnings on the pool table I would occasionally kiss my in the bar to whom you lent $5 and snf eho now stalks you for another fivere dslkd you4
