Not for personal glory.  Not for vast riches.  And hopefully, not for long.

But after 6 joyous months of As Seen On TV™ silence, Taylor Gifts once again favored me with 72 full-color pages of worthless crap.

Since I first began Off The List, my life has changed drastically in 2 ways.

1.  We have stopped 95% of the junk mail we previously received.

2.  Our son just turned 1 years old — the most amazing part of that adventure being our ability to stay off all the baby mailing lists.

My wife may argue otherwise.

So now when a catalog or flier arrives, it’s an anomaly.  A mole that needs to be whacked.

Taylor Gifts is the mole that will not be whacked.

Their words say yes, but their catalogs say no.

You will not be transferred to a supervisor.  You cannot speak to anyone in sales, marketing or public relations.

So today I filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Consumer Affairs.

And you can bet that in 5 weeks, when someone from that office might get back to me, the poop is going to hit the 10″ cordless fan.

With or without the optional Cool Breeze Fan Pack.
