I am a Veteran

I am a Veteran. A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Regardless of personal political views, that is an honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact.

REALLY!?

This in home business thing is such a new adventure for me. First let me say that I enjoy Passion Parties. It's so different from typical!

But having said that....

I have Friends who do others like Scentsy, Avon, Miche, Mary Kay and Heritage Makers.

One thing that I LOVE is that I have one Friend who is great with trading product for product. So I get Miche bag shells, and she gets PP stuff.

The only problem is that she is a little bit of a bully when she wants something.

I owed her $34 (she doesn't give me her cost.... that is retail.) She wanted $38 in product ($48 with tax and shipping) and she wanted to call it even.

Then she sends me a message saying that she has NO $ for groceries and needs the $ for that instead so she doesn't want the product (which I had already ordered) at all. So, I took her grocery shopping and bought her approx $36 in groceries. (we have a food card, so even though I had spent the $ already for the product, and had no $ to give her, I could still buy groceries) She thought I was still going to give her the product and has been calling/texting/messaging off the hook. (I was in Utah, and not able to take the time to talk or I would have addressed this sooner.) But when I got back to her (her ? had been "Has my stuff come yet?") and told her that yes, it came but since she told me she wanted the groceries instead I took her grocery shopping.

She actually expected almost $40 in groceries PLUS almost $50 on an order. Now I REALLY like to help people out. But NO ONE that I know would EVER do that for a $34 tab! Especially when her husband brings home TWICE what hers does.

So, then I have a Hostess who was REALLY wanted as much free stuff as possible. Now, I get this. Don't we all. But her party only made like $150. And only $50 of that was mine. Just GETTING to her party cost me $50.

THEN she is texting me every day to see when it'll be there. The reciept SAYS to give it 21 days and she's crying mutiny at 14.

Come ON people! Needless to say, her stuff will be there BEFORE day 21.

C'mon!

I can not stress ENOUGH how strongly I believe in Food Storage!!!!!!

We were fortunate enough to be able to add a few things to ours yesterday.

I LOVE that Utah sells Food Storage items in the Wal Marts!!!!!

Those of you who LIVE in Utah really need to take advantage of the fact that you can access it so easily!

As for me, I will be making SURE my family (including my mom and in laws if I have my way) have a good Food Storage supply!
