I don't want to be at work today, guess I just have a crappy attitude today. And I'm just stating the truth, to the rest of the country, it's just the capital of the United States that just happens to be in Virginia.vwpamperedchef said:that's very matter of fact wadesgirl! I just laughed! Thanks!

Nothing against you Keith!
Then where is it? Isn't it in an actual state? Maybe it's just my midwest upbringing, they never taught us any different.pamperedposey said:It's not in Virginia. It's near Virginia.
By the way, one of my best hosts is a guy! He loves the products and has had 2 $1100 shows for me - one a catalog show. He won't sign though so I'll keep him as a customer.MORFIA said:I just *love* how the hosts and consultants are referred to as her in our marketing materials.
Kieth--Don't take it personal!! Most host are women-Don't read into it--We love when men are consultants too---Welcome!!!
Kieth, think of it like when everything in books said "he" meaning humanity and included women. No harm meant and we (women) sure do understand your irritation!MORFIA said:I just *love* how the hosts and consultants are referred to as her in our marketing materials.

I wasn't trying to start an arguement but to me it would be like someone from Hawaii trying to get Hawaii listed as the seperate islands so no one confuses which island they are on. Or wanting New York City seperate because it's so big.

You learn something every day. I always thought DC was a part of Virginia. Just curious what you put as a mailing address? Does it show up as Washington, DC 55555?leftymac said:It is in between MD and VA. We are our own entity, with our own government. The Governor of VA has nothing to do with DC. We have our own tax rate, too. Therefore, it's different from your comparisons of NYC and HI. And for a lot of people who live in DC, VA is like another country! (not for me)
And it should be an option because if someone is looking for a consultant in DC, they should be able to find him/her without looking through all of VA's.
I'm certainly not offended by anything you said.

I sort of liked your first signature better - even though it probably would have stirred up a debate on here!leftymac said:My signature is all in gest -- I'm not offended! I'm used to it. I do PC, and I'm a high school French teacher. Both are fields usually populated by women!
No offense, just made me more curisous cause apparently I have no clue! Then again like I said, might be my midwest upbringing. I've never been to the east coast although it's one place I would love to travel to.pamperedposey said:Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound harsh...was just clarifying. I used to live in Virginia and DC is just a totally different place. They don't have VA drivers license or vote in VA like he said.
Maybe it was Maryland I was taught growing up. Now I think I'm totally confused. :cry:climbercanoe3 said:I grew up being told it was part of Maryland.
KateD said:Hee hee. Silly midwesterners. Making me wonder what things we silly east-coasters think that are totally wrong.
DC have their own drivers licenses, their own license plates, own flag, own seal, own motto (which based on their license plates I think is "Taxation without Representation" alluding to the fact that they don't have congressional representation) . . . they're more like Puerto Rico as far as statehood goes than anything, in my understanding. It is by design not a part of any state, so that no state may boast it and get undue influence.
Just to add more confusion, the Pentagon is across the river in Virginia.
Can you tell my dad thought Washington DC was a great biannual family vacation? I would have rather gone to Disneyworld more often, personally.

Since having my guy host I really try to use the word host more often than hostess. And I really do try to get guys to my shows but women are just so used to inviting women to these kind of parties. My guy host did have a couple's party and alot of the men from his work placed large orders.
By the way, good luck in the business!
Just watch out, certain things like the cause drama on here!leftymac said:Thanks! It did get a few laughs. I'll change it back later today!

Again, you learn something new every day. I didn't know all that.
I won't kick you out!leftymac said:For real. I've already caused enough drama with this whole DC thing. If I don't watch it, I'm bound to get kicked out.
wadesgirl said:Maybe it was Maryland I was taught growing up. Now I think I'm totally confused. :cry:
ChefBeckyD said:No, I remember being taught that part of DC was in Virginia, and the other part was in Maryland.......this has been an educational thread for me!
leftymac said:For real. I've already caused enough drama with this whole DC thing. If I don't watch it, I'm bound to get kicked out.
Come on we all know you are a trouble maker!katie0128 said:You think THIS is drama? HA! You obviously haven't been around here long enough - or just lucky enough to enjoy the really dramatic threads.
And I liked your first signature better than the DC or blank one... sometimes it's fun to ruffle feathers, then sit back and watch the fireworks.
/Not that I have ever done such a thing... nope, not me... at least not that you can prove
If this thread is the major drama today then I need a life!katie0128 said:It's a conspiracy, I tell you... You and Keith need a time-out... go on... off to your corners to think about what you have done.
