So, how many Springfield Planeteers are planning on attending? For those who don't live here, but might be in the area, you should check it out if you can. It's a really good time, and all the money raised go to the Boys & Girls Club.

If they're a friend(even acquaintance) worth having, they will respect your wishes to decline spending an hour listening to their BS. If they don't, then they certainly aren't someone you'd want to be friends with anyway.

Not if your excuse is something along the lines of "You ****ing lowlife piece of shit pathetic amway salesmen, keep your bullshit greed scheme away from me."

People like this that would guilt trip their "friends" into a pyramid scheme don't deserve the courtesy that you're giving....

You know how to get rid of a telemarketer? Give the phone to your 7 year old.

It's the type of thing where he won't tell me what it is, only that I will need to come find out. I asked a co-worker who went a few weeks ago, and she said it was some Fortune pyramid thing. I already committed (for the second time), so I have to keep my word and at least show up. He doesn't know that I know what it is. Maybe if I act kinda pissed afterward, then he won't bug me about anything like that again.

Anyway, I'm going to the cookoff. It's from 11-4. I go, leave, then go back, but it's $15 to get in.

My low rent shit bag of a cousin (who is a minister by the way) hit me up for a pyramid scam at my Grandfathers funeral last year.

call him and ask him what it's about.
if he won't say, tell him to stuff it.
if he tells you what it's about...tell him you're not interested and to stuff it.
it's not that complicated.

Jesus. I'm being nice and going. I'm not buying anything. Don't go to friggin' extremes.

**luv** · 02-20-2009, 09:44 AM

ANYWAY....

Sorry I mentioned the whole pyramid thing. The point of the thread was to find out if anyone would be going to the cookoff, or to at least let people know about it. Good cause.
