Surprising event

[KeilCoppes]

It's a pleasant world when you're out shopping and someone spends some time and interest, particularly an interesting, beautiful and charming someone, even if they are on the sales staff and you'll likely never see them again as that seems to be the way the world works. It was a really pleasant time, though, talking about different periods of architecture ranging from the colonial to the victorian, decorating, gourmet food.... So thanks, Andrea! May God bless what comes to you.

Furniture salesperson, huh? You'd better watch out there, Keil - I know someone who met her husband that way.

 

[KeilCoppes]

It's quite a pleasant world when the salesperson comes back to talk to you again even when there isn't an immediate sale involved. The smile made my day - I hope mine brightened hers a bit. :^)

hmmm who knows...you could always go back and buy something and ask her out for coffee...there's no harm in making a new friend.

Well, in truth, I did truly have some other items under consideration - a cedar chest, a chaise lounge or loveseat, and a new bedframe and headboard (pretty much picked out). I came to the conclusion that lacking a wife it's time for me to refurnish the house to some point beyond the early bachelor period... and this store is the second-largest showroom in the country. My economy gene may make it a few weeks, though.

I guess I'm more cynical when it comes to sales people. To me, it sounds like she was laying the groundwork for a sale. But, it's still nice when someone is nice, no doubt.

Wow, that is one long sentence.

I'm betting it did.

See, that's what it's gonna take. Once you get your house all furnished and put together the way you like it, you'll meet a woman with completely different tastes. Kinda like rain always coming after you've washed your car, or people who give away the highchair and carseat because they're not planning on having any more kids ... not that this theory has worked for me yet, but the first time I saw my ex's living room I knew it would take some major compromising if we ever had to decorate a house together - and I think he had similar feelings upon seeing mine! Silver linings ...

 

[Inperfected]

Ooooo...... sounds like you had lotsa fun... m.... talking to people you barely know is LOTS of fun ain't it...

Good going Keil. She enjoyed hanging with you. When I worked retail a pleasent customer is a God send. Most of my customer were always compaining about something. This was not right that was not right. If anything keep her name and buy stuff from her a pleasent sales person and a good customer makes for a good thing.

Just make sure she's selling you what you want and not what she'd like to see in her dreamhome.

i always like moments like those--little sometimes where you have such a nice, warm, lovely interaction with a complete stranger. sadly for me, if it's a guy who's really cute, i get either a). bashfull and have a hard time even looking at him or b) really aloof and distant. so i guess i'm not participating in the lovely interactions w/other people. need to stop feeling so insecure. just smile, right?

Well, there were a couple of moments... it's a practice thing. :^)

Don't worry about me being sold a brand new house of furniture, guys - I enjoy talking to folks wherever I go, but I keep my head on straight.

If it's God's will that I marry after a new house of furniture, I'll survive and praise Him! 'tWould be a shame, though, after decorating a house in the eclectic style of a moderately successful sea captain somewhere between 1790 and 1870...

 

[wildthing]

Let me know when you have a garage sale I like eclectic mix of funiture. I will come down and buy some of it from you. I won't even bargin you down!

You may have to wait a while, given that I'm currently buying on the plan of what can fit into a single-person's retirement apartment in 35 years or so. I plan to keep my house and avoid that situation, but given that I currently have no children to support me in my old age... and no volunteers to help expand the family... Pray for my investments! :^)
