All right, since I've gotten this email twice in the last half hour, I thought I might as well post it for everyone else to enjoy. Apparently, 1-800-Free411 has made 4/11 (get it?) The Best Things In Life Are Free Day. Here's the list of fun free things from the email that people keep sending me:
1. Directory assistance from 1-800-FREE411
2. Blood pressure screenings at supermarkets and pharmacies
3. Home maintenance tips and advice for do-it-yourself projects at
free in-store clinics provided by your local Home Depot
(www.homedepot.com)
4. Old couches and other home furnishings found at The Freecycle
Network (www.freecycle.org )
5. A copy of your credit report to make sure everything is as it
should be (www.freecreditreport.com )
6. Books and media from your local public library
(www.librarysites.info)
7. A day at the museum on free admission days
8. Online courses offered by MIT (www.ocw.mit.edu) or lessons on how to run a small business
(www.sba.gov)
9. Classes offered at your local Apple store on business and
entertainment software, music programs and computer basics ( www.apple.com )
10. A free, annual scoop of Ben and Jerry's ice cream on April 17

-- Anyone want to add an eleventh fun free thing? (Or a twelfth, or a thirteenth . . . )
