Re: Free Alarm Monitoring



People, people, people . . . . . . .

When I see something for free, I want to share the info with other. And if
you want to consider my original post as a shill for a FREE service, so be
it.

Whether you want to make use of the info or not, that's entirely up to you.
It's just like the Starbucks Coffee across the street from your office is
giving out free coffee for a week and you know about it, would you tell
everyone in your office about it or you are just going to keep it to
yourself ? And if you do tell you buddies in the office about the free
coffee, how do you feel if they ask you if you hold shares in Starbucks ?
For God sake, the coffee is free, what does it matter if you hold shares in
Starbucks ???????

Talk about sharing, here is fun one for all to share. Found this while
reading  one of the social groups.
