And it reminds me, maybe I'm going to see about buying some rain boots when I go out for lunch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Of Facebook's many sins, I think the worst is that it enables people you vaguely know to spam all of their acquaintances with MLM schemes. No, I do not want to buy your skin care product or leggings or magical lash serum or candle or whatever.
Are you suuuuure, though???
Amen Dana--no, I do not want to be added to your MLM group!
Unfollow as fast as possible. I'm in a few MLM groups, but they are ones that *I* choose to be in. Otherwise I can't leave the group fast enough. If it is just an acquaintance that is spamming - they get unfollowed if not unfriended.
Luckily, there is a drug store on every corner in Manhattan.
I'm grateful for this. I was in such a rush due to oversleeping that I forgot to pack my makeup bag, so I had to load up at a CVS yesterday.
And it's one thing if it's a person you're close with, because at least there's a real relationship there, and I might choose to believe that your intentions aren't entirely craven.
But person I was in a choir with five years ago who had never contacted me before? Boss from literally 15 years ago? No.
A friend of mine posts a statement every few months about please don't add her to MLM groups; it's wonderfully clear and direct. I should probably do something similar, because I'm getting added to all sorts of ones recently. I leave them right away, but it's still annoying.
Timelies all!
Still not on Facebook. Every time I start thinking about joining because a lot of people I know are only posting there, stuff like the MLM groups makes me think again.
My sister's friend once tried to recruit me to sell a nutritional shake. She's apparently made a ton of money selling it -- like, she quit her actual job so that she could stay home with her kids and sell this stuff, and she says she's making more money than she did before -- but I am definitely not ever going to make money selling a nutritional shake. (Especially not the way she does it, posting exercise selfies and medals from running races and showing off how great her abs look after four kids.)
