Leaving the Pampered Chef and Cutco Sales: April Fools or for Real?

In summary, Rae has decided to leave both PC and CS, citing that she is simply not cut out for business. She thanks everyone for their support and friendship, and promises to miss some but not others. She jokes that she might run into some of her friends in Chicago some July, and farewells them all.

I've decided to leave both PC and CS. I've decided that, after almost 5 years, I'm simply not cut out for this business. I want to thank you all for your support and friendship.I wish you all the best in your businesses. I will miss some of you. Others of you, not so much. Maybe I'll run into a few of you in Chicago some July.Goodbye.
April Fools! Boy, you people are easy. LOL!

Yeah, good sarcasm and comic relief is hard to find. LOL!
 
Okay that was not good.
 
Rae, I read the thread title under new posts and thought 'bull%$#!' you're full of it. LOL...good one though! I knew there would be lots of posts already. The only way I knew was I just woke up 1/2 hour ago and my daughter already pulled a April fool's prank...way to go Rae! :D

I actually was almost in tears and thought the poor thing I read her schedule yesterday on another post and she just lost the pig lady (sorry can't remember the exact term of endearment) no wonder she is giving it up.
 
  • #12
I got a headache after reading your post! I am so glad it was a joke!
 
  • #13
All I thought was "what the heck :eek: she can't leave us!!!"

I should have remembered it was April fools day. DS was asking if I had any "material" he could use on his bus driver. They joke around all the time.

Glad its only April Fools day, Rae!

I really didn't mean to cause so many people stress. I assure you that I have no intention of quitting either PC or CS any time soon.
 
  • #15
Your Spoiler says it all, Rae. ;)
 
  • #16
As I would say (affectionately) to my kids.

Rae, you're a stinker!

But really,

1) I'm glad it was a joke

and

2) You did make me laugh :D

  • #22
Just waking up on the west coast. My first thought was it isn't like Rae to rant. Hope you all have a great day!
 
  • #23
Good One! I was freaking out...first Beth....now you.......! GLAD it was just a prank. Got me awake this am anyway. Now I'm ready for anything my 2nd graders might throw at me. Reminds me to get out a "following directions" test that I have.

Was it something I said? Or was it just the Mr. Weenie sign?

I'm rarely serious. I'm afraid the seriousness will stick and I'll become like many of my family members.

You never know. I can be dangerous. :balloon:

I don't usually read that thread where you hid your joke. Just for you, I did today, though. Bad. Really bad. :rolleyes:
 
  • #40
Thanks for the scare, Rae! Good thing I thought twice and read on and then I laughed.

  • #41
The really funny thing is that I had to edit the silly thing 3 times, adding a sentence or two each time, in order to keep the spoiler from being spoiled in the easy reveal.
 
  • #42
I think that was to funny Rae...
 
  • #43
omg...you had me too!

I was like, "nooooo"

glad it was a joke!!

I'm very good at that laugh, Becky.
 
  • #48
not funny!!!! What would we do without you around here????
 
  • #49
Well, I am very relieved that you were just foolin' us. After Beth up and left us here, I get nervous when I see something like that! What would we ever do without you?!
 
  • #50
I was confused (and I'm not even blonde...) when you said you were through and then that you'd see us in Chicago. SO glad it was a joke!
