The Odd Snowflake
I haven’t written about snowflaking–the art of accumulating small amounts of money–in awhile because I’ve been busy trying to accumulate larger amounts of money. I just got the oddest snowflake at all.
According to a postcard that showed up in my post office box this week, I’ve been chosen to be a “Nielsen family”, meaning I’ll contribute to television ratings. My friends who have done this before say there’s a nominal fee (like a $20 bill stuffed in the packet?) paid to the families.
Why is this odd?
I don’t have a television.
Stay tuned for the fate of this snowflake…
