I gotta tell you, this made me laugh like a stupid person at 6 in the morning when I first saw it.
Why do they need your phone number if they promise all they'll do with your info is email you?
"We will never give your information to anyone else." Did they cross their heart and hope to die when they wrote that? I have my doubts.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what they were trying to say with those quotes. It doesn't even make sense if it was for emphasis. So weird. And what's with the random capitalization?
Hmm.
I love your blog. It's my favorite new find. (I was so tempted to put the word find in quotations. Original, huh?)

What's a greetings club?
Maybe Greetings Club is the group of people who organize Welcome Wagons.
this is a gym that holds lectures??

The sign actually says nothing about a gym. Just a "club".
I am worried that I will never accomplish all the things I have so long dreamed of achieving, now that I am glued to your site and laughing maniacally.
