Well it happened again, I left him home alone, someone came to the door selling something and he bought it. It will surprise most of you that know my fiscally minded husband that this is a recurring phenomenon at our house. Just the other day a lady came to the door who is part of a soap not dope program. At one point in the sales presentation she told Ryan she was pregnant but also took a smoke break later? (He didn't find it odd till after she left that those things shouldn't go together) Ryan says she was an excellent sales person, the right amount of persuasive but not pushy. I have to say I don't really mind. While we have some differing views of giving, Ryan says he prefers to give people money who are trying to do a job rather than those just standing at the street corner. So when someone seemingly down on their luck comes by to sale something he feels compelled to buy it. I have to say this is challenging to many of us who do the opposite (give money when we have it on hand to those asking but hide in our houses when someone rings the door bell). So I think there's room for both these ideas on giving and as usual Ryan challenges me to think about this in a different light.
Here's the quick shot I got of Ryan (who did not want his picture taken) when I got home and said oh I will be blogging about this and held the bottle up for the appropriate blog worthy photo:
Here's our 40 dollar of purple cleaning magic, suppose to last us a year, we've used it on everything, so far pretty impressed with its versatile cleaning abilities. Supposedly its no toxic, she licked up a bit of it during the presentation to prove it:

is it really called soap not dope?
that is a phrase she refrenced during her presentation, not sure if she nick named it or if its for real. the soap has a real name. Ryan googled the company to see if their were any complaints from better business bureau but no complaints reported...
