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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yet another post about fucking lash serum. Former Boss gets one more before she gets unfriended.

All the MLM people I know try to get me signed up for those nail decal things, or "essential" oils. (They are not, most of the oils sold by those companies are a tiny bit of natural oil, blended with synthetics, and mixed with carrier oils. )

Does The Watchtower have a social media presence that you could helpfully steer her toward?

No -- Isogenics, or something like that.

Apparently, work blew up right after I left. Not looking forward to the morning (I can't deal with it tonight, no work computer.) and the pool was 88 fucking degrees. No wonder it felt like I was dying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
