Where does the anger come from, exactly?

So there was a Pampers Kandoo giveaway today, and some people got a free tub of wipes, many did not. What caught my attention was how infuriated many were who hadn't gotten the free item. I have seen this over and over again. People get so angry if they don't get the free online item, they accuse others who do get it of cheating or having some internet advantage, and it becomes very chaotic. I wonder what it is, that makes people SO upset? Do they feel that if a free item is offered that it should be there until THEY personally get one? Is it that the economy is so bad that one tub of wipes will make or break the budget? Is it a sense of entitlement? What is it?

I am just happy when I win something, personally. I don't get it. And then they threaten to boycott the company. If you don't give me these free wipes I'll never use Pampers again? Come on, really?

I wish you lots of freebies...and peace if you don't get them. :)

New things to come, and yes, I'm still alive in here...

I have been horrible at writing this blog. I'm pretty good at the FB end of it, I keep up a few deals each day, but the blog is suffering. There will be more changes coming, which I can't talk about quite yet as we have to get more complete first. They are positive and mean more posts, I can say that.

In the meantime, however, I will try to post more. It's not hard to post once a day. I can find something to say.

So, here's the latest update. I've been in the hospital again. Nothing new or learned about why I am ill, but it makes the 5th hospitalization in a little over a year. 3 Meningitis, 2 Severe Headache Following Meningitis, for those of you keeping tally.

I'm as good as I get, but my health issues are one of the reasons I haven't posted nearly as much as I should.

I am still couponing, but my stockpile has gotten us through quite a few weeks of illness. We are now getting to the barer closet and fridge, and I do need to super coupon yet again. Plus hubby likes owning enough toothpaste for a year. :)

There's more, but I have to have some to post tomorrow...fingers crossed.
