I just answered the door to a salesman who asked if my parents were in!!!!!!!!!!

For f**k sake I'm 29 this year and I had my son in my arms at the time - I've owned my own house for the last 7 years!!!!

I'm not sure whether to be flattered or whether the salesman wants his head read!

I was going to go an say congratulations.. now not sure..lol

I have to be honest...I'd love to have you read my head.


That reminds me of the story told to me by a man on retreat. Once he turned 50, he told his wife he was going to start asking for a senior discount everywhere he went. Everybody looked at him and laughed.


One day he got it.


It wasn't funny anymore.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Reminds me of the time I got carded at 40

You will be in a couple more years.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

In some cases, flattery will get you vacuum cleaner.

Does that mean that you'd get "sucked" before he leaves?

You've been sucked if he got in. LMAO

I get it too. Pisses me off that I make 5x what my mom makes, but the salespeople fawn over her and ignore me.

But I have youth and beauty to console me

It's true...it's a sales ploy Lou. That's not to say you don't look youthful (you most certaintly do) but that it's their schmoozy/smarmy way of endearing themselves to you for a sale.

I've always felt that the more schmooze slung, the crappier the product.

What was he selling anyway Lou? And, did he schmooze you enough to buy?

That's just the thing - my first thought was sales schmooz, but the guy had no patter whatsoever - he struggled to string a sentence together and was trying to get me to switch electricty supplier, I think, but he was so vague, I'm not entirely sure.

To be honest, rather than coming off charming or even smarmy he just came off as thick as s**t!
