Mountain Bike North Face
Three Out Of Four Ain’t Bad
I was very pleased with the home, neighborhood and people when we moved into a new town. Right away three neighbors invited me to share morning coffee with them. Lisa lives across the street. Jen is next door to her. Marcia is the one flaw. She is however, one of the group, and she was there before me.
We all have kids and dogs, but is that enough to establish a friendship? Yes, we walk our dogs together. Our kids do enjoy going to the park and all playing together. It seemed ideal until I started selling products from the herbalifeline.
Jen and Lisa liked their cleaning products as much as I do. I use them all the time now. Marcia did not. She did not care that they were gentle on the planet. She spent ten minutes a day complaining how she preferred her old brand cleaning products.
I use the cleaning products myself and do like them. Marcia hated them. They didn’t get rid of soap scum as well as her usual product. They didn’t get the black marks off her linoleum. They didn’t even clean her dishes adequately. I offered her money back but she said she couldn’t do that to a good friend.
I listened every morning till I wished I had not sold her anything in the first place. Finally she bought her old tried and true products at the store. It was not as if my family would starve because of lack of purchases.
Right after morning coffee one day, I felt like putting on my black helmet and riding my bike away and grumbling under my breath all the way. One day I mentioned the word bike, but the ever griping Marcia wanted to go along. Forget that idea.
The other two friends could barely keep a straight face. I would have loved to take my schwinn mountain bike out for a ride with them. But I wasn’t willing to with Marcia. I would wait and ride with my kids after school.
I can hardly keep myself under control during coffee time with Marcia. She makes me want to each three Danish pastries. She also brags. Her husband is a prince compared to ours. Her kids are smarter in school. Her dog is a purebred with papers to prove it.
While I love my home and neighborhood, Marcia is a trial. We all consider our own kids superior, but don’t need to brag every day about it. I like to compliment the other girl’s kids. I do not put people down as Marcia seems inclined to do.
