That makes more sense for why they were so so so pushy though it doesn't make me change my mind about it being rude to badger friends like they did. I was in the South so maybe it is different in other regions where the pushiness or guilt doesn't happen as much? I know I was NOT the only one annoyed with the girls I am talking about.

One of my friends recently got into something (boring tupperware maybe?) and I was cringing, but she has been really sane about it so I am pleased. It makes me actually want to buy something from her.
