<div>This is what I was thinking. I'd probably be able to buy those things in this area (4th cheapest city to live in, in the entire country), but it'd definitely be pushing it. Not to mention, we, at least, would have to buy furniture for the house, make sure we had money to cover any repairs for house and cars, etc. etc. I highly doubt we'd have a ton left over to invest.</div>

I do direct sales for a product that I take myself.  It's only one product, you can't find it on my facebook, and I don't do parties.  I sell it to friends and family who also take it.  It's a consumable and it's really helped me and you can only get it online, which is why I do direct sales, but the thing that appealed to me about mine is that I don't have to do parties and that crap.  It is really annoying.  I have a friend who sells a different product and her entire facebook is dedicated to it!

Mary Kay had a convention in the hotel where we had our last big conference in. Those biddies like their colored blazers and ribbons. They also had a prom night where they wore prom dresses. Interesting.

[QUOTE]LDY, I'm with you. Mary Kay sucks.  It's the worst of the direct sales, imo. I hate direct sales in general. I finally agreed to do an online party for one friend, but other than that, I always say no. I hate being invited to them, so why pressure my friends to do it? I also judge people who have fundraisers for everything they want to do. I have 2 friends raising funds for adoption right now, one to help build an orphanage, and several to go on missions trips. All of these are good things, but how about you plan on sacrificing at least a little of your own money to fund this instead of expecting the whole thing to be funded for you?  <strong>If you can't afford a $600 homestudy, you can't afford a baby.</strong>

Seriously?  I judge themt too. I  understand wanting a child, but realize kids are expensive and not community funded.  nuts

Some friends of my parents are raising their two granddaughters, and the granddaughters are going to do a summer missions trip.  In the Christmas card they sent out were self-addressed stamped envelopes for money you could donate to them for their trip.

Even my dad was appalled at that, lol.

I also judge this.  I also judge myself because I'm the only one who ever moves over, letting the 3 to 4 people walk by.  Why can't they move over?  But I really don't want to have a collision either.

My nieces and nephews do fundraisers for school. Every so often, they send us a SASE and a request for money. Often, we just ignore it, but I'll sign us up for a magazine subscription or something. 

I realized this spring that our two "no soliciting" signs may be scaring off the Girl Scouts. We're going to add a disclaimer: "We buy cookies."

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I judge : My personal belief is that you should be able and willing to put up half the money for these different endeavors yourself.  Adopting a kid from China is $20000?  Save your own money, cut back, etc. for at least $10,000 of it.  Want to build a $8000 orphanage?  Don't spend all your spare money on eating out and then throw 9993 fundraisers.  How are you giving it if you aren't willing to put up any of your own money?

<div>I could get behind this. Rather, if someone was fronting at least half the adoption cost, I would consider participating in a fundraiser. If they're trying to raise it all themselves, then no.</div>

I judge my friend who "ZOMG had to get pregnant immediately" for complaining that her it took her 2 months to get pregnant (as if that's a really long time) and for complaning EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. about being "ZOMG SO sick!" 

FFS, you wanted this.  STFU already.

I want to know what you sell, Habs. Please tell me it's not some kind of weight loss thing. I have a stick up my ass about weight loss crap right now. Probably because I've been BOMBARDED by "ITWORKS!" and "Body By Vi" recently. Get off of that shiit and see what happens.

Good call.

I rent from Neebo. This term, H's used English book was the same price whether we rented it or purchased it. I bought it, figuring I could try to sell it back. If it's not being used ever again, I'm not out any more money than I would be if I had rented it.

I once paid $4 for a battered textbook from Amazon. My campus bookstore bought it back for $60.

Totally different. It's YOUR product. It's not a scam. It's not overpriced crap we can get elsewhere and you aren't begging us to hold parties so you can get something out of it.

Two things.

My step MIL sells Silpada jewelry, and it's really annoying.  She keeps giving me $50 "gift certificates" as presents.  Most of the jewelry isn't really my style, and almost all of it costs more than $50 so I never know what to do with the GC.  Last time I thanked her and just let it sit for months and she kept emailing me about picking something out from the catalog....so it's like, do I kick in my own money to buy something I don't really want, just so as not to offend?  Yes, I am ungrateful.

And, my coworker sells Pampered Chef.  She keeps telling me she's having a "party" but really it's a "book party."  Invite me to your house, feed me appetizers, and most likely I will be happy to buy something.  Umm, looking through a catalog is not a party.
