Now that's a party!

Well Monday was phunday, all right - quite the storm in the early hours. Took out our power and phone. We have phone now, but it may be days before we have power back. We are using a small generator which, once again, is powering the important stuff - refrigerator and router!

We had two trees come down on our property that barely missed our buildings. Our house, garage, goat barn, and shed make kind of a four-square. One crotch of a big basswood overhanging our deck fell east-west between the buildings, and another basswood came down north-south between the buildings. Now do you doubt my force powers?

Luckily, I already had this phunday post almost ready to go before the storm, so here you go:

This phunny thing just fell into my lap. I got an e-mail invitation to a Pampered Chef party. If you don't know about these kinds of parties, let me explain. A sales rep convinces a friend to throw a party, inviting all their friends. The party is just an excuse for a sales pitch. And if the sales rep is really lucky she'll be able to convince a few of the party-goers to have a party, too. The more friends you hook, the more bonuses you get. There are all kinds of these schemes, selling kitchen ware (like Pampered Chef), storage items, cosmetics, etc.

Since I had gotten an e-mail about this party on Gmail, I should not have been surprised by targeted ads about other product parties. I was quite surprised, however, by the product this company was selling at their parties. I'm not going to tell you what it is. You wouldn't believe me. You have to follow the link and read for yourself. At first I thought it was a parody, but I'm pretty sure they think they are serious.
