I have two email addresses. One is for normal email. The other is used when I sign up for things and know I'm going to get mail from a million other places I didn't sign up with. Today I was browsing the other email to see what free stuff I had missed (since I don't check it everyday) and how much money I lost because I didn't respond within 24 hours. Then I saw this ad scroll down the side that said a woman had lost 12 pounds in 24 days and now this 57 year old woman looks 27 years old. 

I don't have a college education, but I'm thinking it is going to take more than losing 12 pounds to make you look 30 years younger. However, even if it does, who would want to do that? Think about it a minute. Your husband takes you to dinner and a movie for your anniversary. Before you get home, cell phones all over town are going crazy with people talking about seeing your husband with a younger woman ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY. She looked familiar, but they can't quite place her. 

Or, say, you take your car in for a check-up. A month later the check engine light comes on. You take it back to the same place. Before you know it, the police are there wanting to know where you got the car. You must have stolen it, because this is not the woman who brought it in a month ago. But you do look familiar.

And then, of course, you try to use your credit card. The picture on your ID looks like a woman 30 years older than you are (of course, that is assuming anyone ever looks at the ID). The store manager is called, and you guessed it, he calls the police, even though he thinks you do have a resemblance to the photo.

So, I'm saying it's just not worth it to lose 12 pounds. I guess that's why while I was reading the ad I had a cake in the oven. I just can't take the chance of my husband being gossiped about or me having to go before a judge and try to explain that only 24 days ago I looked 30 years older than I do now. Nope. It's just not worth it!
