Going to the Mall Today? I Am

But be very careful!

You know how they have all those people at the kiosks offering samples of their products? And then the ones who want you to submit to a massage technique that literally shatters every vertebrae makes your back feel so flexable?

Or, how about the kiosk that sells the special sea salts and beauty creams from the dead sea, that set you back about three house payments?

I did both of those when I was in Tucson, on my way to Texas......my son-in-law's mother bought us each a half hour massage.....that had me thinking I was dying. My son-in-law said the moans coming from my side of the curtain were scaring him.

The same day, in the same mall, my son-in-law's mother and I fell prey to the ancient magical creams and ointments from the dead sea.

Man: Hi! You have such pretty eyes, what's your name?

Me: Uh, Janice

Man: As he grabs my hand, says: Oh your nails are so nice, are they natural?

Me: Uh, yeah, thank you!

Man: Let me show you something....he starts rubbing cream into my finger tips and nails.

...this will make those nails strong and not so brittle.

Then he grabs a buffer and starts buffing my nail. It looks like a new smooth shiny piece of glass! I'm so impressed.

Man: Noticing my glee in my newly buffed nail says: Just think how your boyfriend will love holding your hands when your nails look so polished and your skin is so soft....

when I don't react, he says...

Man: You do have a boyfriend, no?

Me: No

Man: What? a beautiful young woman like you? Impossible!

So, you see where this is going.....after buying $225 of nail and face stuff, I leave, knowing I will always have beautiful skin.

Fast forward to about a month ago. I'm in our local mall if you can call it that and I'm approached by a beautiful young lady with a jar of cream in one hand and a tiny spatula in the other.

She wants to introduce me to her rich uncle a miracle cream, made from stuff dredged from the floor of the dead sea. I told her I'm not a bottom feeder I already owned all their products.

She looked at me, and with a smirk said, "I don't think so."

So today, I will be very careful.....very very careful. I will be wise and savy if I'm approached by someone wanting me to test lip balm. Especially someone like this gal.
