NBR: People selling sh!t

I am so over the at-home party stuff. It's so 2002. And the IT WORKS wraps etc, make me cray-cray. I've had someone add me to their IW FB page AND tell me that I should try the supplements to cure Sammie's tummy troubles.

I had a lady come up to me at Target today to ask about the shopping cart cover we use, and for giving her the store name we bought it at she gave me one of their energy sample things. Arg. I can't escape!

    Ugh, I know what you mean.  If I get one more thirty-one invite from people that live in completely different states than I do I may scream.  I mean, I don't even like that kind of stuff (looks like diaper bags to me).  Between that, Pampered Chef, Jamberry, and the old school Mary Kay and Avon, it's enough to make anyone crazy.  I guess it's a sign of the economy?

    Seriously. I totally had to bite my tongue from telling a friend of a friend that science has proven that cleanses are a load of crap. She also thinks she can cure my IBS. Um, no, you can't.

    I hide everyone who is selling sh*t from my feed. What annoys me the most are those shake cleanses that are so unhealthy! I have had to ask people to stop messaging me to sell me shit and if you tag me in one of your "Sale" posts, that's an automatic de-friending.

    I have a friend mixed up in that whole Shakeology thing. All her posts were about what she was eating and the fitness programs she was doing and trying to get people motivated to join her. "Message me for more details!!!" Um, no. I hid her from my news feed.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    The tagging me in a sale post makes me see red.

    For the most part I don't mind it too much but I have a friend that started selling Thirty One within the past year and she's asked me several times to host a party.  If if was anything else I probably would have given in for the sake of supporting my friend but I don't like Thirty One products.

    And it pisses me off because I always think to myself, "Ooh!  So-and-so tagged me in a post!  Can't wait to see it!  (pause) Aw!  What the hell?!?!?"
