I was thinking more along the lines of a parslaii cocktail... 😉

cozietoesie · 21/04/2016 18:07

A CRY cocktail sounds like a good idea - but you'll need to link to the TV video now that you've mentioned it. Smile

Melaw21 · 21/04/2016 18:09

Mmmm.... 😋

Melaw I thought keyboard warriors were middle aged? 😂

Do any of these cocktails go well with cheese?

cozietoesie · 21/04/2016 18:13

That's the one, Melaw. Smile

Melaw21 · 21/04/2016 18:15

Sorry BS... You are indeed correct!

-Waits patiently for the old, "you are all such nasty negative meanies" line -

Twunk · 21/04/2016 18:54

Do we have a Meme for that?

Just reeling from the news about Prince Sad

I heard it on the radio but wasn't sure as I wasn't quite paying attention and I thought the DJ said 75. I was like "oh he's not 75" - then realised that I'm always getting the numbers wrong and it was 7 and 50"

Anyhoo, we are haters of MLMs but not their victims. Hope that helps.

Twunk · 21/04/2016 18:58

Thanks Melaw Grin

Twunk · 21/04/2016 18:59

I think Toobusy's summation of the reasons for hating MLMs should be the next thread OP. Very succinct.

Melaw21 · 21/04/2016 18:59

And another...

😂😂😂 dolly I will be suspicious forever more of 'old' friends appearing, or someone wanting to 'catch up'! 😬😱

emmajones95 · 21/04/2016 19:28

You all sound very angry - have you had bad experiences with these companies personally? I have no idea how you could have been fleeced by the companies. Maybe these are ones I haven't heard of. My only outlay with Younique was £75, which I recouped very quickly. What are people doing to get so fleeced and ripped off? I'm lost.

stopfaffing · 21/04/2016 19:35

orange I have screenshot a snippet from the Herbalise report on distributor earnings for 2015.

Emma you'll be interested in this too. Do the figures reflect your income when you did Herbalife?

MrGrumpy01 · 21/04/2016 19:44

Cheque photos are coming in.

Not to be sniffed at though.

Just a shame the majority is cyclic money.

Twunk · 21/04/2016 19:52

No Emma, for the most part we are not ex-bots.

Twunk · 21/04/2016 19:54

Obviously you have read all the threads in full, but here is a brief summation of the 'story so far' which was the OP of the last thread.

A brief history of the threads so far-

A few people were bemused at their friends' strange personality changes when they joined MLMs.
Eyespying told us they were tragicomic, thought stopping cultic racketeers.
We told him to go away, he was clearly obsessed, and can he go to his own serious thread?
We delved a bit deeper into the issues.
Eyes started creeping back. We told him he was too serious.
We became more horrified at the information being turned up and were sharing links.
Eyes told us aboutMerchants of Deception.
Timeless Vie was set up as a parody about MLMs.Facebook, Twitter, blog, Instagram and YouTube were all used.
People started coming forward, telling of their experiences in MLMs.
We became more horrified.
Bot Watch started on Facebook where links were put up of interest to do with MLMs.
Botwatchblog started and produced factual analysis of the discussions from MN.
MLM members (bots) waded in saying it was all ok. You can earn great money. You just have to work 19 hours a day and not worry about morals.
Bots complained about their names being used. Their lawyers complained to MNHQ so that MN now do not allow us to use bots' names or show screengrabs of their writings even if it is in the public domain.
Blogs and FB posts increased, with the increasing amount of facts and whistleblowers coming forward.
FL lawyer tried to get TV YouTube video banned.
Bots claimed we were bullying them because we were asking them questions they couldn't answer. we were called middle aged women and accused of being drug dealers.
It got a bit nasty so we ate some cheese for a bit and they went away.
Health claims from FL bots now reducing dramatically as a result of pestering from all of us.
We stopped telling Eyes he was too serious. We all started thinking in his language and realised he was right.
Eyes turned out to be very funny and entertained us all.
Sunday Times article produced exposing FL. With a little help from people here.
Lawyers still persisting in trying to ban TV's videos.
