My favorite salespeople are in the mall at the kiosks..."can I ask you a question?" I walked into the mall a few days ago feeling like a hot mama just to be deflated by the flat iron guy asking me, as he studies my hair, if I ever I ever bother styling it!

We did something like that with a time share thing and we promised our self never again because I felt like you when it was over.. "wished I would of said this..." Oh I was so upset it took me awhile to calm down!! I loved your story!

Well, next door they bought x and down the street they are going to write a post-dated check. Salesmen, uuggh! I am surprised you kept saying no. Good for you. It is easier when there is a lot of money at stake. How was the two night stay? P.S. Stop thinking about making long-term home improvements. Hopefully eventually (meaning soon) Jake can transfer somewhere closer to home.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414507523156632612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790309553372370375.post-91947934430119096832008-10-14T22:30:00.000-07:002008-10-14T22:30:00.000-07:00Okay, this is the voice of experience here - when ...Okay, this is the voice of experience here - when you go on your little free weekend, you will undoubtedly be offered an extra night or, at least, a free dinner IF you will listen to another 2 hour presentation. DON'T DO IT. I've been there, done that. Unfortunately, I am married to a man who is one of those suckers that is born every minute. I always have to play bad cop to his good cop.

We listened, we let them know we were as poor as dirt and not in a position to shell out $$ for a timeshare, but they still pushed and pushed. Then they were like so bugged with our constant no's that they said they weren't going to give us our free stuff. We had to throw a little bit of a fit with the manager to get it. Humpf. No more timeshare presentations for me!The Farrell Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299174992811564768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790309553372370375.post-76224571252709307382008-10-14T14:37:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:37:00.000-07:00I can so relate to this experience!

No worries you'll get your bootstraps on and one day you'll not even notice that you've said no and before you do realize it that salesman will be at your neighbors house. I hope you have a wonderful getaway though. That SNL video clip is hilarious. I love it.
