To answer one burning question that some of you seem to have--no, Robin does not edit my blog.  In fact, he never reads until it is published, trusting sole that he is!

One of the reasons to really like the products you represent is that you have to become a product of the product, which means you have to actually TRY and USE them.  Now, Robin is always open to learning about new companies and new products, particularly health products.  UPS, Fed Ex, DHL, USPS all have a well-worn path to our door.

While I'm all for trying new things, I have to admit that after trying multiple health drinks, I've gotten a little gun shy.  The conversation usually goes something like this.

Robin:  "Honey, I've got a great new drink for you to try!  It's really good!"

Me: "Really?  What's in it?"

Robin:  "Try it, it's really good!"

Now, at this point I would like to interject that, as many of you know, Robin used to be in the military.  This is a man who went on survival missions and lived for a week on bugs, so his assessment of "good" is always a little suspect.

Me:  "What's is made of?"

Robin (in a mumbling voice): "Um, tree bark."

Me:  "You know, I think I hear the baby crying."

Robin:  "Come on, just try it."

He brings out the bottle which usually looks pretty nice.  Nice label, interesting bottle shape.  The bottle is usually colored, so it is hard to tell much about the stuff inside.  He then pours some in a glass.  It's green.  There are things floating in it.

Me:  "You're kidding, right?"

Robin:  "It's not as bad as it looks."

At this point I pretend to drink it. One of the advantages of being married to someone blind is that faking that kind of stuff is pretty easy.  At least you would think it would be easy. 

Me.:  "Wow, it's not that bad."

Robin:  "You didn't try it did you."

Sigh.  I don't know how he always knows this stuff. So, I finally give in a take a drink.

Me (after spitting it out in the sink):  "That stuff is terrible!  How do they ever sell it!  How much has this company made?"

Robin:  "Over a billion last year."

Me:  "From this."

Robin:  "Yes"

Me:  "It's disgusting."

Robin:  "It's really good for you."

Me:  "I don't care, I'm not taking it."

There is just no accounting for taste.  I don't care if it would make me superwoman, there is no way I could take that stuff every day!  He shuffles back to the man cave where the rest of the case (yes, I said case) is sitting--knowing that he is going to have to drink it and starts searching for something else.  (I'm happy to report that he has finally found products that I like!)

So, beware, you may become the experiment!

Thanks for reading!
