A lady I work with is Doris Christopher's cousin! I thought that was interesting! She said she went to her house every weekend when she was little and remembers when she started Pampered Chef! I just thought you might enjoy it!
 
Too cool - I enjoyed reading Doris' book on how she started the company
 
That is really cool! :D
 
Wow! that is so cool!!!!
Sooo is she a potential host for you? LOL

Maybe you could have her tell Doris to log on to CF under an assumed name?
 
Wow, neat! Did she help pack boxes in Doris's house?

I don't know. We didn't get that far into the conversation. I had to help a student.
 
Come to think of it, maybe we don't want Doris up here. It might be the end of us all! :eek:
 
What a small world huh? That is awesome and weird at the same time. :D
 
Six degrees of separation!
 
lol. no kidding. lol.
 
Yeah, now I can claim that I personally know Doris, since someone on my board knows her cousin, right?
 
That is so cool! I would make her invite me to all the family gatherings so I could meet Doris face to face, LOL!
 
I had a host who's husband grew up with Doris's girls and used to go help in the basment
 
How did she ever have time to have guests every weekend? Being a consultant is surely easy compared to what she did. How, how, how?
 
one of my recruits a few years ago did nails for Doris's sister in Ft Worth
 
Um, people, this thread is getting a little bit strange here. Can we try to keep this all in perspective?
 
You, commenting on a thread getting strange? :D

It's just fun, making those little links to other people.
 
Yeah, I know. It's like an urban myth. My next door neighbor's cousin has a brother-in-law who's sister worked with someone that had an uncle and his wife's hairdresser's step-brother's fishing partner knew a guy that was in a boat on the same lake where someone was distributing LSD-laced transfer tatoos to kids in the neighborhood.
 
Really?!? WOW!!!!



</sarcasm>
 
Hey, I read it in an email that was forwarded 16 times before it got to me, and it was on the Internet. It MUST be true!

OMG, you know him too? Small world.
 
Doncha love how threads deteriorate around here?
 
So my friend's cousin's neighbor's girlfriend's friend saw Ferris at the Dairy Queen last night...
 
Does Ferris run in the Iron Man?
 
ohhh.... I set you up good for that one, didn't I?

That was my pathetic attempt to remember a line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
