Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Oh MY GOSH OF COURSE THEY DON " T FORCE US TO DO IT HOW SILLY! ha ha, that is funny! No it is our choice, the whole thing is a perk to employees. Most of us like getting it especially when it is free forgoodness sake I have no idea how you got such a ludicrous idea from my post. I felt I made it pretty clear that it was just a perk of the job. Rather than toss away perfectly good botox we make a list every month and if there is enough left over the first on the list get it. It is really nice of them to do that rather than just waste the stuff! no one is being forced to do anything. I explained that since I wasn't sure if I had a reaction to the botox or just a coincidental cold that I tried it again to see what happened and this time nothing happened so I obviously did not get sick from botox. Life is like that sometimes. We can think one thing made us sick but it was really just a coincidence. Anyhow the interesting thing is that since my family thinks I react to everything since implants, it isn't really true. I don't react to everything at all. The only thing I have ever reacted to is implants. n , Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@c...> wrote: > > Seems like a strange policy of making employees use Botox because it is > about to go bad.
