She's obviously not familiar with the product line either. She didn't even know how to pronounce "Collagenesis" until she was corrected. Isn't that "Skinn 101", for heaven's sake? Ugh.

Whoops! I hadn't noticed.

Dimitri is funny? He's laughing at you all the way to the bank. Did you all buy the 12 sets he was coercing you into buying? It's going to pay for the remodeling of his Palm Springs home and Christmas presents. Now that's funny!

Gosh.....nobody held a gun to my head or threatened to break my knees (!!)

Unfortunately, ageism IS rampant. They want us to get out of the workplace earlier and earlier but then want to push the age of retirement benefits (in my case a state pension) higher and higher with the excuse that people are working longer these days. It's the only reason I continue to color my hair. Kids see gray hair as meaning "old" and then complain to their parents about having the "old" teacher. Don't want that.

I appreciate Dimitri not only for his products but also helping us all to lighten up on some things.

Oh please,he didn't coerce anybody into buying even one. Actually, I think some of the posters are funny.

Uh oh, I only bought 11 sets.....Dimitri should probably call the contractors and cancel his remodeling plans!

ROFLMAO!
I know, honey! Glad I'm retired!
LOLOLOL!

It's not ALL that funny. Several times in my working career, other workers told my boss that I had accepted a job elsewhere, and actually ASKED for my job. Of course, I was called on the carpet for "not giving notice"........and I had a tough time explaining that the other person was flat-out lying.
@Desertdi, I keep telling people that ageism is alive and well (actually, make that alive and flourishing!) in the workplace, and they mostly scoff at me. Well, they won't be scoffing if it ever happens to them! It's really a dog-eat-dog world out there.
Ageism? It DID happen to me when I was working. They FORCED all the "old" people out where I worked. We all had to retire. I was happy to leave because I had bad knees and management s^ked. I've never been happier.

@RinaRina, I'm very glad it worked out for you. Unfortunately, some are forced out long before they are anything like ready to consider retirement. I'm thinking this varies a lot from industry to industry.

I helped him a tad today, but not enough to buy a potted plant!
