  • Drespling.jpg Josh Drespling: But the time it finally clicked, it was too late — I had made a big mistake

    OK, I did it. I’ll admit it. I clicked on the flashing banner on the side of the web page.

I know you have seen them all and have been tempted to click them just to see if you could save a few bucks or transform your life.

    Maybe I'm turning into the old miser who chases the kids off his lawn while screaming some intangible string of expletives about staying off his grass.

  • Church.jpg Gary Church: I’m a loser, all right, but my calories don’t count
