Let me tell you why....

I keep getting screwed!! Its not b/c I'm married to a Doak! :P Tonight, without thinking ahead about it, my status says... "Chelsea keeps getting screwed" and got some comments about that.. I'll let you use your imagination if you haven't seen my facebook status comments.. Silly people!
There's 3 reason for it that all happened within a week...

Last Wednesday.. I received a letter in the mail saying that these ppl overpaid me.. Well.. I won't pay them back and its their fault so I'm requesting an appeal at that.. Something i really dont feel like dealing with, but something has to be done before i get in trouble for it.

Last Friday.. A lady came to my door and hands me a free bottle of this air freshner thing and said(something like this) hello, we are getting to know our neighbors since we are opening a "store" here in town, would you be interested in a free carpet stain removal.. I said no, my hubby has a carpet extractor and dont need it done, then she said how about free stain removal on your furniture? i said well it has some fuzz stuck on there... oh, can i see it? she asks.. I'm thinking... well since you are a LADY, i guess you can.. she takes a peek.. oh, i can get that, let me go out and get my stuff, i'll be right back.. well... how long will it take i ask....oh not very long! i said ok.. Thinking they can use me as a referral for their new "store" they are opening in town.. she comes back in with a BIG vacuum box and a guy behind her with box in his hand as well... I'm thinking, great! what did i just get myself into!?! This lady introduce me to this guy....... and then she LEAVES and leaves the guy here with just me and my kids!! Oh My Gosh!! I say my prayers under my breath! I ask, so where is this store going to be at?? He couldnt give me a direct answer.. I knew i had just got sucked into some scam type of thing where they are actually trying to SELL me a freaking Kirby vacuum, there aint no store opening here in town.. The ecomony sucks right now, who in the heck would open a new store in cheap O-town!?! I'm thinking... he's gonna be here forever and I have NO money to buy this vacuum so what do i do!?! Anyway.......... this could be a 5 page long story, so i'll just do my best to sum it up for you to get the picture.. They(another guy came over later on) obviously couldnt get "i cant afford this vacuum" as a NO, i will not be buying a vacuum from you guys.. Finally just to weed the ppl out of here, they offered to leave the vacuum for 5 business days and Alex and i can decide what to do from there.. I knew what Alex's answer was gonna be but they kept trying and trying and trying to talk me into buying this vacuum.. This was a contest going on with these dealers trying to win a trip to Las Vegas... I didnt realize this til they were getting ready to leave when they mentioned it.. Sooooo, i decided(going against my gut feelings) to just sign a paper and in order to do this, they have to do a credit check....... I'm thinking, this is the only way i can weed them out of my house so i did it.. KNOWING i WILL be cancelling this and telling them to come back to pick up the vacuum.. I must say i was impressed with this vacuum but i sure aint gonna pay $2,000 and something for a VACUUM.. I dont think so! I'm sure a Dyson will do just as good!! Well.......alex comes home.. he sees these papers i signed and wondering what this is and so i explained(doing my best not to cry, but failed at that) and he wanted a phone number, earlier i had a paper with a number on it.. but i couldnt find it!! i swear this guy took the papers with him so we dont have a way of calling them to cancel the service! i was PO'ed!! Then i remembered that guy wrote a number in the manuel and I gave it to alex, which he was already on the phone with the company, found a number online... Luckily for me, he took care of it and comforted me and my frazzled nerves.. I felt so LOW, used, upset........ you fill in the blank.. I couldnt get rid of that feeling for the rest of the night.. It was a horrible feeling! Almost like I had no value of myself, someone had just took advantage of me and wasted TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES of my afternoon that i had planned to play with my kids. I was soo upset! I must say.. i learned a lesson! Dont trust ANYONE at your door, even a LADY.. I think this is why they USED A LADY, so ppl will FALL FOR IT! *disgusted* this is NOT the whole story, like i said.. it'd be 5 pages long if i gave you all the details and i dont feel like refreshing my memory about it.. trying to forget it even happened!! My window on my door is now blocked with a dark peice of fabric so no one can look in and next step is to buy/find a No Solicitors sticker for my door.. :D

Today(Wednesday).. about 3 weeks ago or so.. I posted my Arbonne stuff on Craigslist, I'm no longer in the business after discovering some hidden truths about the business, i decided to get out of it and get rid of my stuff.. I was hoping someone would buy it... I get an email today about someone asking me to call them about my Arbonne stuff.. I'm thinking, YES!! finally $$ coming in to help Alex out with the bills and Christmas money.. Thinking, the Lord is great! He answered my prayers... Instead... this is what i get..... (this is the actual email between us.. Alex got involved at the end.. :))

Please call me regarding. Thanks.

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that my Arbonne products is still available if you are interested. Due to my deafness, may we email?? Or I can have my husband call you if you dont mind.
Thank you!

Actually, I am not interested in the Arbonne products, but my business partner have been reaching out to a bunch of people we see on CL who are "dumping" Arbonne products...getting out tf the business. I know they are phenomenal products, but they are a bit pricey, especially in today's economic crisis. We are involved in a consumer direct marketing company, not a MLM that carries essential poducts that people are already using on a daily basis...we hve a reorder rate of 95%! We don't have inventory, nor we do stock, sell, deliver or ship products.

Are you open minded to looking at another business? I would love to share it with you. Thanks.

Karen, here is an exerpt from the bottom of every Craigslist ad (unless otherwise specified):

*it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Your e-mail is asking me to direct my interest towards something other than selling my product, which is a misuse of Craigslist on your part. Please do not e-mail anybody unless you are interested in the product. I am not interested in anything else. Thank you.
