Selling Avon sort of like Selling Real Estate

Hi Again,

Well I went door knocking today, well actually more like door bell ringing.

I look at the front door of the building and did not see a no soliciting sign, so I started ring bells.

One lady allowed me to leave a catalogue with her, the others either did not want it, didn't buy it, one was sick, one stopped on the way and looked at my catalogue, but said he didn't buy stuff, didn't shave, didn't have a girlfriend was too old.

I told him, if your not going to shave at least by some cologne then maybe you will get a girl friend.

He said I am 83 too old for a girl friend.

I said maybe you would have a better chance if you shaved.

He laughed, and said you are a good sales person, but no thanks.

One guy came down out the door and yelled at me like I was murderer.

He said I am calling the police didn't you see the no solicting sign on the door.

I said I looked I didn't see a sign on the door, he looked at me like I was crazy and screamed he was calling the police if I did'nt leave, I said thank you I will go, I don't stay where I am not wanted.

I looked at the door again before I left there was some black printing on the door that said no soliciting that I did not see before.

I Headed down the strreet, my ankles were starting to swell like they usually do.
My feet were getting wet from the rain, I wore these shoes that are really slippers because my feet get so sore.

My knees were sore too, they have been screwed up ever since I worked five years at the hospital cleaning 6 Or rooms a night, daytime cleaned 6 ors in between operations, cleaned dirty blood bottles for the operations during operations, cleaned operating rooms, that was the first year then I worked four years cleaning and making beds, cleaning closets, and tables. That was when I was young.

I put on my report when I quit that my knees hurt,I think it was my knees something hurt.( Mostly the samething day after day was killing my mind) but Mrs. Allarie, ( who is probably dead now) said if you put that on there you will never get another job.

So being young I took it off. They black balled me anyway, I never got a another job with the hospital anywhere and I was told it was because of them.
They were Catholic too, Saint Mary's Hospital in New Westminister, they are closed now.

Anyway another day no dollar yet. Actually it cost me twenty dollars to sign up, my Daugher gave me the twenty ( actually she gave me twenty five)I am pretty sure it was her last, she said she had to wait and make sure the rent cheque cleared.

I have to make some money.

I knocked on some houses on the way home, some were not home, one sat and watched me in the window and did not come to the door, one was busy.

Buy now my feet were really wet, feet sore, knees really starting to swell.

Enough for today, tomorrow is another day, cost money made none. Alot like my 18 years in Real Estate.
