A man came to my door with all the equipment and I showed him the rug I wanted cleaned. He did a great job. It was only after he finished cleaning and tried to sell me the machine that I realized that he wasn't with the carpet cleaning company. He was a salesman who just happened to be in the neighborhood. I didn't buy the machine, but I got my carpet cleaned for free.

Long ago I read a book by a folklorist titled Mister, You Got Yourself a Horse ... I may have to pull it off my shelf and reread it. Lately, while they aren't unscrupulous, I have inundated with Facebook ads from people I know selling Norwex, doTerra, Pampered Chef, etc., etc. While I don't begrudge anyone trying to help make ends meet, when all those adds/invites arrive at once, I do feel overwhelmed.
