Want to know how cheap and slimy some marketers can be? Look no further than Panties.com. The online purveyor of panties, thongs and other lingerie ripped of one of its affiliates.

In a recent campaign, Panties.com stated, “We are so confident you’ll make a sale that we’ll pay you $50 if you put one of our new panties.com banners on your website and do not make a sale by February 28th!”

Eric Nagel took them up on their offer. But, as he explains on his blog, at the last minute, Panties.com Program Manager Lila swooped in and made a purchase negating the $50 bonus netting Nagel the usual cut which, in this case, was $7.50.

I’m 73 and I slept badly for a decade before I understood that the problem wasn’t my sleep — it was everything I was bringing to the bed with me, the unresolved conversations, the accumulated worries I’d been too busy to feel during the day, the low-grade anxiety about everything and nothing that only found its full voice in the dark, and the sleep got better when I stopped treating it as a separate problem and started treating it as information

I’m 73 and my daughter said something last month that broke me: “Mom, you never told us what you actually wanted, we just assumed you were happy” — and I realized I’d been so good at enduring that I’d made my own suffering invisible
