I had uncharacteristically agreed to write a review of a sample of caulk I'd been sent and submit the review to the sponsor in order to earn a chance to win a $1,000 Visa gift card. Because hey! A thousand dollars? Yes, please. Unfortunately, I didn't like the product much. I assumed they'd only choose a positive review to win the money, but I decided to write the review anyway. I'd been neglecting my "Reading" page -- I'd started it to keep track of what I thought of the books I'd been reading, but lately I've been thinking I might get interested in updating it again if I expanded it to cover other weird stuff that crosses my path, including samples of caulk.
People are always asking me if they can send me stuff to write about on my web site and I get irritated and decline, so I'm thinking I'll take a few of them up on it, but they'll have to deal with what really happens when I do.

Does that include food products? I make a pretty mean chocolate pudding cake.
I am not currently accepting food for review but I appreciate the thought. I do love chocolate cake.
Darn! I was hoping those things worked. But I'm glad I haven't wasted my money on them :)
I got the giggles thinking of you reading this out loud. (What does "caulk" sounds like...?)
I had a publishing company send me books here and there, mostly kids books (that I actually liked).
They sent me some grownup books (not "adult" per se, but for adults) and I didn't much like them and haven't gotten any more.
Oh well.
I can't claim CAULK though, ha ha. And what are you going to do, go recaulk your tub or something to test it?
First of all, I LOVED your honest review. Secondly, I think it would be great to see products as well as books on your review page. And do you know why I would come and read them? Because I really am interested, that's why.
Courtney Ruark said... exactly what I was thinking. Read this out loud and collapse into a giggle fit.
Remove dirt, grease, moisture, and old caulk.
HEEE!
Caulk. Is there a better word in the English language? I'm also partial to the word indignation, since I'm often indignant. About things like bad caulk, for example
I am so jealous!!!! How big does a blog have to be before you get asked to review caulk?
Just give me a number so I know what to aim for.
Great review, by the way.
I'm reviewing a book and luckily liked it. I think I'll do more, but yeah, I wonder what happens if you hate it. There's no way I'll write a lie just to suck up! :)
I'm in just that pickle. I'm reviewing a book that I don't think is very well written. In fact, it's pretty lame. But I've bonded with the photo of the author on the back and I just know how she's put all her hopes and dreams in Being A Writer. I'm still not sure what to do.
For some reason I thought, "Hey, I should send her my KIDS... that would give her something to write about...."
Not a good idea. There goes my Mother-of-the-Year Nomination... again.
Maybe you need some Caulk-Away...

That is comedy gold, people.
"So stop using screwdrivers and razor blades to remove old caulk."
