Pillows anyone?

June 14, 2019 By David Palmer Leave a Comment

Mike Lindell, the founder of “MyPillow,” an amazingly successful merchandiser of (wait for it) “pillows,” was once so addicted to crack cocaine that his three drug dealers ran an intervention and refused to sell to him. I had no idea. Frankly, I had begun to develop a bit of resentment against this perpetually good humored salesman and his pillows  intruding on television.

                Just before the stock market crash of 1929, my father decided to strike out on his own and founded a publication in New York called “Our Town.” He published one issue, the market crashed and so did “Our Town.” The future looked grim. He was broke, and he had a wife, Edythe, and a six month old baby, me, to care for. As luck would have it, my mother had a few bucks stashed away, enough to sustain them when the … [Read more...]

                  Sorry to say, there are unscrupulous organizations who seek to prey upon individuals desperately seeking help for themselves or a loved one. Do your research. With this in mind, a good place to begin your research, is with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, whose roots go back to the 1940's and Dr. Phil, whose broadcasts on addictions and recovery are long established, widely available and offer … [Read more...]
