What the heck is “prevagen”?
Serious question, although I guess I could google it. Is it supposed to be a sleep aid?
It’s an over the counter memory drug.
Get it ?

There was a so called memory aid…AHA, so pleased that I didn’t have to go google for it! 
(yes my annoying memory for example will often let me recall a movie star’s titles but not the star’s name. grrr) Anyway, it preyed upon the very population it purported to help.
The product is Focus Factor & a good friend worked briefly at the call center for them. I just looked them up & they’re still going strong. So how did they “prey”?
-
They then advertised 2 “free” bottles but you had to pay the shipping charge. It was ridiculously high. (Like E-bay or Amazon 3rd party seller high nowadays)
-
When you bought the “free” offer they’d sign you up for their subscription plan @ the then $60 a month (+ the egregious shipping) without telling you they were doing so. They’d say they were covered 'cause it was all there in the fine print of the agreement in the “free” offer. (they had your cc/debit card # from paying the shipping) This more then anything got them a ton of complaints. My friend did customer service & the bulk of the calls were cancellations. I think they finally cleaned up their act & started making an effort to fully inform the customers-- the elderly or people with memory issues.
-
The notoriety earned them laboratory analysis of the product. It’s a vitamin pill with herbal supplements. Critical reviews say the product isn’t useless but one could do just as well with much less expensive one-a-day vitamins.

No luck at Gnome Depot but I might try Home Depot today. Lowes is closer and I would rather give my money to them but Home Depot allows dogs and Harley is very well trained.
Wanted to thank you for your sense of play. You wear the winged moccasins well.
Last time at Home Depot was trippy as life keeps trying to teach me the same lesson.
Hey I am getting a little better. Baby steps.
I had a lot of fun pushing Harley around on one of those big carts and making people smile.
I hit E all of the sudden and found a “quiet” spot on top of some mulch bags to rest.
I was waiting for cdc anyway but a bored employee discovered us girls. Harley barked at her but she kept trying to make nice nice. I did the whole rescue dog still adjusting please don’t thing. Naw. Harley tried to explain by going bark bark bark, Barkbarkbarkbarkbark.
I finally had enough. There was a nice small bathroom nearby that was in use. I told the stubborn woman that I had a headache and I had to pee. Lies. I finally said look this situation was getting on my last nerve. true. Could she please please leave us alone?
She finally at last withdrew in defeat but not without hurling a parting gift, at Harley.
She said unhappily “you couldn’t just be sweet!” Peace at last and I was so done talking to her. But what I would have said, because her insult astounded me was that Harley was her own dog and not a stuffed animal there to entertain you.
Hmm last time I was at HD with ninja he had to ride the cart because he was a rude boy. A bored employee tried to stealth pet him. Ninja didn’t mess around with any of this barking business even with me and cdc. I had to intervene faast.
I enjoy taking my dogs with me whenever possible, plus as per that Twilight Zone episode The Hunt, even the devil can’t fool a dog.
The lesson for me is omg woman set some godam boundaries.
There is a nice chain restaurant with a bar, Miller’s Ale House, food sucks but nice drinks. It is in the same parking lot as Home Depot. Last time cdc and I ordered appetizers then he drove to HD while I sucked on a delicious cocktail. That day it was too hot for Harley to come with. I’m wising up.

I was Just thinking you warlock that you reminded me of Ron!!!
Except that you worship Satan which is why you and Harley must never cross paths.
Hmm. I want to be Donna but let’s face it I am librarian Tammy except I dress sexier.

I so agree with you on all counts and no it is not a matter of yucking yums. Sigh.

Strippers do nothing for me, but steaks are sexy.

I will cut you.
They all went to the glitter strip club to cheer up Tom.
Ron ignores all the entertainment expressing indifference and then his eyes light up and he softly murmurs “hello beautiful”
He practically makes love to that free breakfast buffet. Scrambled eggs and bacon are fine but that sausage gravy over biscuits. Drool.
Now I want bacon.

She went from beautiful to badass, which is a good way to age, I think. Not that she wasn’t badass earlier and beautiful later.
