Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Purchased an 8 oz stainless steel flask for $12. Nice to know it will also protect me from cancer.
I have a friend like this. At age 55 she has no job, no pension and little SS. She does have a pretty good nest egg from an inheritance which she kept from her greedy ex when they split the sheets. This is her sole support...In a general way I also believe that positive thinking is important; but people can sometimes make strange extensions of an otherwise reasonable principle.
If it's any consolation, I had a similar conversation with an alleged "friend" about aspartame and I wish I'd kept silent. (The guy doesn't even drink aspartame beverages because he doesn't care for the taste, but it doesn't stop him from zealously forwarding dozens of aspartame rants.) I pointed him to Snopes.com and he quickly took up the cudgels to go point-by-point over their coverage. Now I get weekly e-mail JPEGs of rats with horrible tumors that he claims were instigated by aspartame.Right, I won't say anything -- thanks for the tips.
