Hi! Welcome to The gURLz Gazette Freebie Finder!
Issue 3, Vol 1, November 2001.
Hello Everyone!
Ready for more freebies? I hope so, because I've found some for you, so let's cut to the chase and get started!

From Discovery, here's a site for the dinosaur lovers out there. (especially my son!) Gives factual information and weird pictures.
Here's an interesting site about your congress for US residents. As well as offering helpful advice, like how to fight the IRS, you can send for free goodies like a map of your state, a free pocket Constitution and you can even ask your Congressman to respond to questions like "send me a list of what you've done in Congress this year". Keeping our representatives in government accountable always sounds good to me!
Top Secret Recipes
A list of top secret recipes from all over the place, for those who like to cook. There's also a page dedicated to convenience food myths.
Editor's Picks!
Our Editor would like to add these sites for you to check out also.
Pogo Games
This site is a completely free gaming site with many casino type games, Slot Machines, Black Jack, Keno, Video Poker, even Bingo.
It costs nothing to join and they start you off with 50 tokens to play the games. As you play, you can win more tokens. (If you lose them all, they give you 50 more, endlessly)
If you are winning a lot, you can enter their daily, weekly, and monthly draws for REAL CASH. (Tickets in these draws cost 100 tokens each.)
The thing I like about these games is that alongside the games are chat windows, and I have enjoyed some very interesting conversations with other friendly players in there.
You DO NOT have to download anything to play at Pogo, but it is a Java-based system, so it might not work for people using older browsers or WebTV.

CDEX
This Freeware application is an Audio extractor from CD to make .MP3's or .WAV files. It works very well and is easy to use. Just be aware that distributing MP3s may be considered a violation of Copyright laws, so be responsible with how you use this program.
The latest version of CDex can be downloaded from their home page.
