'My inbox has gone crazy!' 'Super busy answering all your messages!' Bollocks.

[IThoughtItWasAFart]

Bollocks that you have had more than 2 people message you.

And bollocks that you have had another member join you and they're keeping it secret. And bollocks you're so busy.

I have a JP bit finally! I'm so happy! She's smashing a lot of things and getting her 7 (yes 7) a day before 6am, PM her to find out how!

[PosieReturningParker]

Forever living neighbour text me out of the blue to tell me she had some amazing news.... I genuinely thought she was pregnant or something....

It was her fantastic opportunity to invest in rainforest killing aloe vera.

[f1ddlesticks]

Feeling a bit left out - don't know anyone IRL or on FB that does any of that Juice Plus / Younique stuff!

Are they people you know really well that succumb to the dark side, or casual acquaintances?

[JolseBaby]

I have a HL and a Showcase on my FB, but both are quite normal and don't pester people too badly.
I saw an update on the TimelessVie FB page (MLM spoof) that MNHQ had posted on one of the bot-threads to say that FL had been in touch (more than once apparently) and were 'unhappy' about some of what was said...

[IThoughtItWasAFart]

What is MLM?

[SeventyNineBottlesOfWine]

I knew someone who used to do Forever Living and has now moved onto It Works! wraps and skincare products.

I enjoy reading the posts, they make me laugh. What I don't like is that she's clearly spent a small fortune with no hope of making any money.

[Nancery]

f1ddlesticks one of mine is someone I was at college with for a year 22 yeas ago. She sent a friend request, I don't take FB especially seriously so accepted. I now am strangely down to the non stop car crash quality of her posts.
The other was a JP peddler. However, they dumped me as I commented on one of their especially horrendous posts. (She was filming herself on her iPhone while driving, SHE was driving, down the motorway from an 'international business meeting." She was talking about how 'worrying' it was what people bought as snacks at service stations, and suggesting JP bars are better 'if you want to show your body respect.') I was de friended as they 'don't do negativity'.

[IThoughtItWasAFart]

Ah just Googled it.

[f1ddlesticks]

Interesting Nancery - I slightly wish someone I knew from days of old would suddenly provide me with a steady feed of car crash style posts

[Mrskeats]

I've fallen out with a friend over all this bollocks
She's sold another friend that clean 9 crap twice since Xmas and she never has any money

[ExasperatedAlmostAlways]

Iv just got nu skin reps on mine. Who have changed their life. Released themselves from being tied to a desk and are #buildingabusiness #buildingafuture #workfromhome and memes that say -'call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding life is a journey not a competition' pm me to find out how to start your success.

Fuck off! Haha

[NanaNina]

I knew someone who did FL for quite a long time and she's a really nice person. I think she did very well - was a manager and I couldn't make out why it was all so expensive but she posted pictures of people using the clean 9 and they did lose lots of weight. I bought the aloe vera and it's been on my kitchen worktop for several months! She did used to keep posting about her fabulous lifestyle, private school for the kids and being able to work at home etc. There was a funny one - a picture of traffic and "is this what people do to get to work" - Then she left - no idea why.

Is it an American company - and a pyramid scheme (not that I really know what those are) but I think you have to keep on recruiting others to the company?

[Pobspits]

Oh I have loads and loads of forever living people on my Fb (one is a teacher at my kids school) and now one younique person. It's all such a load of shite and I don't know how they can post all the set congratulatory lies drivel and then be brazen enough to turn up in the playground and talk to you as if they're normal. I don't get it.

The woman in the first YT video is a character she's invented. She also does her own make up videos and vlogs as herself and whilst she's not a million miles away from the character, she is more toned down and less wild looking. I love her.

[Nancery]

I think that's what I find so fascinating, the endless bizarre brags about lifestyle etc usually followed by half a dozen inane hashtags. But, they really do seem to believe their own bullshit

[Wagglebees]

The character is Angie, the woman is Maria.

[HungryHorace]

I thought this was going to be Forever Living too!

I don't have any FL or JP bots on Facebook. I do have a Slenderiix (sp?) one though which appears to be about getting thin without effort and stuff to keep you awake / alert. It's annoying when she's banging on about it!

[greenkitee]

One 'friend' has just put up that her daughter and her have been unwell all week, what about those amazing capsules you take? Thought they cured everything 😂

[MillieMoodle]

I had a friend who tried to start up with Forever Living. I looked at the website out of sympathy, then showed DH who promptly texted her other half and said "don't be thinking we'll be buying any of that over priced aloe shit" following which the invitations to taster sessions completely dried up. Ah well.

I have an It Works! FB friend still. Full of inspirational and annoying crap about how she's always working in Costa or wherever. Or how people have approached her to ask all about it and how we all need our greens. Oh, and how we should all be taking some tablets which haven't yet been licensed in the UK but will be soon

[greenkitee]

Another one got two promotions in one month? She's only been 'working' there since christmas😂 she also has 3 kids and is a part time hairdresser, how does she find the time?!!
But forgot I am just a h8r xoxo

[Nancery]

h8r indeed!
my JP bot used to use the term 'neg ferrets'. I think this probably says a lot more about her than she would like

[stqueen]

I've just found out (via FB, where else) that a really nice girl I've recently befriended at a toddler group is a FL bot. A quick look on her page shows she's posted loads, all about the clean 9 shit throughout January & with hardly any comments or likes. I feel really sad for her actually, she should be enjoying her maternity leave before she goes back to work next month rather than peddling that shite. I really hope she doesn't approach me with a 'fantastic opportunity'…

I also have plenty of Youneeeeque bots on my feed, all of whom where the cool kids at school which makes me feel much better than it probably should

One of them has just hit PURPLE no less Can anyone enlighten me as to what the fuck this means? Is this first class flying, Land Rover territory or is she just bullshitting?

I would defriend and unfollow as DH keeps telling me too when I'm whinging on about these gullible souls but it's my not so secret guilty pleasure. Oh to have all of that free time, working from home, being a #bossbabe having no paid holiday, no guaranteed income, no sick pay, no annual leave, no pension JEALOUS

[stqueen]

Where* = were

[HairySubject]

There are so many 'online party' invites that I have to keep coming up with excuses not to attend from my bot.

[ForeverLivingMyArse]

One of my fl bots had a party on fb tonight all about their make up. Only 11 out of the 300 odd invited attended. One was me, one was her. The only post with any likes or comments at all were a giveaway one and her mum wanting to buy a lip gloss.

But she's 'overwhelmed with messages' and will get back to everyone asap.
