I like when I see multiple children selling their wares in front of markets & businesses. I think that is much easier than going door to door.

DR Cillaliz - I had to re-read that a few times. I kept thinking/reading it as "ugly candies".

No, I had the "Ugly Candies". LOL! I'm sure everyone here knows "Worlds Finest". I confess I just bought some a little while back from someone at work. The size of the bar you get for your dollar sure has changed. They downsized it quite a bit.

I tell the neighborhood kids that I will buy from the first person who comes to my door selling whatever it is...and I do. I also tell them if they aren't first that I'll buy from them the next fundraiser if the get to me first. Although where I live now, I'd probably buy from more than one. I don't get many selling door to door. I used to live between two elementary schools and would get 10-12 selling the same thing

I don't buy the stuff because I don't want the stuff. I guess I am a cranky old lady.

Went to Marie Callender's for dinner - just what the doctor ordered. Plus a friend brought Mucinex over and that really has helped in the last two hours.

I did not let my kids sell stuff for the school, and they were glad; they didn't want to, but they didn't have to be the ones to decline to do it.

Lots of water with that Mucinex, BK! Lots!

That's ok. I've just been told that I'm an old lady because the music I heard on the Grammys sounds more like noise then music to me.

I had to turn it off. I couldn't take any more.

Feel better vibes to Dear BK!

Fortunately I don't have neighbors coming to the door selling anymore. It can be tiresome after awhile. I had basically stopped buying from them as well. The stuff is usually pretty bad.

One of the schools finally did a fundraiser without selling anything, just asked for donations instead. It was very successful as the parents were very happy not to have to help their children sell anything.

Your mistake was turning it on in the first place. If not you wouldn't have commented & you couldn't have been called an old lady.

Years ago, when RENT came out, I was informed by a young person that I must hate gays because I did not like RENT.

Listening to an upcoming project - sounds really great.

For the most part, my parents were the same way. We had no choice for Seniors night. You either sold X number of candy bars or you didn't go. The funny thing about it was i really didn't want to. I knew I'd made a mistake when I got on the bus, couldn't wait until it was over and come home.

I was always teased so badly and that night was more of a hell night then a fun night. I think I cried most of the way home. But that was nothing new. If I had a dime for every time I cried on the bus ride home from school, I wouldn't have to work now.

Danise · « **Reply #228 on:** February 13, 2011, 07:20:28 PM »

I can't get over how expensive some of the stuff the kids sell now days is.

I got stopped by a little boy at one of the stores, asking me to buy some pop corn. I had like three dollars cash on me and was about to say ok when he told me it was $20.00 for a box!!!!

I told him I was sorry but that was way out of my price range. Then you feel bad because you turned them down.

I didn't like that they took the kids out of class, sent them to an assembly, were given the pep talk by the salesman, got all hyped up by the possible prizes, and then sent out to sell the overpriced junk that no one really wants, and yet only a few kids sold enough to get paid with said prizes. Most of the kids sold stuff and all the money goes to the company.

Wow, it's after ten and I haven't taken my shower yet.

Gotta run folks.

Yes but you can change it. I posted how to do it on Facebook, you must not interact with me enough, lol. You click on "most recent" on your wall, or news feed page (when you click "home") click on the Most REcent then on "edit options" click on the show posts from and change it. I think that's right anyway

Cillaliz · « **Reply #233 on:** February 13, 2011, 07:27:17 PM »

"Most recent" is on the top right next to "top news"

Well... I was hoping to stay up until Barbra Streisand made her appearance on The Grammy's (or did I miss it already?), but... Well... At least there's room on the DVR...

Goodnight.

And as for the OCR of American Idiot winning the Grammy, well... I guess if "Riverdance" could... Ah, well...

bk - Were you planning on checking out Amanda McBroom's new show at Pasadena Playhouse, Dangerous Beauty? -She's actually just the lyricist for this one. Michelle Brourman is the composer.

They were selling that popcorn here. I find it shocking anyone would buy it.
