I'm going to scream....
if I get invited to ONE MORE women's home party thingees. Let's see, so far in the past month and a half I've been invited to:

1. Home Interiors
2. Candles (twice)
3. Mary Kay (twice)
4. "At Home America" (Your typical party except they sell even more EXPENSIVE stuff!!)

I hate these parties!! I think I have a plan to get all these "friends" back.

I am gonna invite them all to a GEAR party. OK, so I'll make sure there's some "fru-fru" undies and bras... and of course, body lotion, but maybe with bug spray and ointment for sore hiking muscles worked in.

Yeah...... just wait! They all better come to MY GEAR PARTY! And then host one of their own, so they can get that extra special SPF 30, high-tech, yet cool-looking hiking skort at HALF PRICE!!

So... lets make some money folks. Who can I get to book parties from mine??


LMFAO!!!

I think you need a sport underwear party, a stove party, a bag/tent party, a cooking gear party, boot and sock party, digital photo party and a make your Pepsi Can Stove Party. Soon, they will stop inviting you to get off of your list.

Lizs, I'm totally down w/ you on this one. I've been invited to (in the last 3 months): a Bodyshop party, a Mary Kay party, a Candle party, and a Pampered Chef party. I didn't go to one damn party . . . 'cause they suck big hairy ones!

First of all (and yes, I'm frickin' bitter) the women are all happily stinkin' married. They talk about their cute, stupid, silly husbands the whole time. Second, I don't have enough money to LOOK at the dumb catalogs, let alone buy anything. There's all this pressure from your friend that invited you, 'cause she'll earn a free gift. And pressure from the "party-lady." Gaaawd, you'd think they were selling crack, the way they push it.

K . . . I feel better. Thanks for giving my a chance to vent Lizs.

The main reason I HATE THOSE PARTIES, is cuz it's a scam! These companies get peeps distribute there product for them, absolutly free! The group I hang with are all into these "parties", even the sex toy ones. Now THOSE are the good ones LOL!

j/k

Anyhoo, my wife "has to" go in order to receprocate peeps that go to her only "hosted" show. She only does the candle things because we both enjoy them and burn a lot of them. By hosting, she gets "free" candles.

Otherwise, I hate the part og making money off of friends. One of our group is a party "person", so to speak and she's always hitting up friends to host or by. POS, in my book.....you just DON'T do that!

ohhhhhhhhh, laqtis, baby, lol, I don't think you're off the hook, since your wife is hosting parties, too. JUST SAY NO! Like you can't get candles in many other places???!?

I actually went to the candle one, cuz it was my co-worker hosting it (and doing it as our monthly "girls night out," that beeyatch! lol) and our dopey reporter as the booker. And man, did she lean on me hard to host a party. CRIPES!! I buy freakin' candles at WalMart (mostly) or some gift shop if I really, really want something.

But, Lizs, does are special candles you can only get through "Candle Light". What ever would I do? Getting candles any other place would be like driving a Yugo and saying it's a Cadillac!




I'm really kidding! I have no control over what my wifie poo does, re: Candles. It's the only thing we do, plus......for what it's worth.......it helps that party person put food on the table........sick, isn't it?

Buddha Bear, so what are you selling to friends at YOUR PARTY??! And what do they get FREE to lure them into booking THEIR OWN PARTIES?!? What's the full plan, Mr. HMWHC???

hahahaha, such dilemas. we live on a cul-de-sac and these parties seem to pass from house to house around it (skipping outs of course). running girl just started not going. she told them to stick their parties up their ass, if she needs any of this #&%!$, she'll go out and buy it, but she isn't going to pay for #&%!$ she doesn't want just so the hostess will get her little "hostess bonus". she told them she was tired of them trying to get free #&%!$ by making her feel guilty.

of course, our entire family are viewed as outcasts from the entire neighborhood now, but hey, thats the price you pay for principles.

I thought those "Colonial Candles" were the Cadillacs (or at least the Buicks...)

$27 for a dozen?? ($21 on sale)

We were talking about those parties last weekend and a couple of friends and I came up with a pretty good business model aimed at men. Beer and strippers would be the lure and the product line is 'manly'. All we need is a few million dollars of seed money. Anyone interested?

I can provide strippers at little or no cost, but I want a 25% cut of all profits.

Some woman in a small town in Texas is going to court over hosting those "toy" parties. The towns ultra Christian hypocritical leaders are ticked at her - her Church even kicked her out.

Saw it on CNN.com a couple of weeks ago.

My wife hosted one of those "Toy" parties. We started calling it the F-erware Party.
We had strangers calling her to ask if they could come too.



I was kicked out of the house that night, but I heard they had a lot of fun.
