MLM marketing

Always smiling @allknowing (137771) • India 12 Dec

MLM - multi level marketing is fine if one is successful in getting many downlines and at the same time if downlines work with vigour. I was with Forever Living Products an American set up sellling Aloe Vera based products. I...

Mike I did mlm a bit some years ago. It was for an energy company selling gas and electric. Initially paid a few hundred to join so I could start to build a downline. I gave up as it was too much work and I was making much money elsewhere. MLM is a good thing if...

Duping the public

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342077) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Dec

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s of two chocolate unicorns a friend gave me. A couple have been charged in South Australia for pretending their son had cancer and receiving $60,000 through government and GoFundMe...

Mike Unfortunately it happens everywhere. Recently I saw someone who faked cancer to her own family/friends/public to get holidays etc. I think they must have mental health issues or just be stupid as they get caught out in the end.

LindaOH @LindaOHio (181642) • United States 12 Dec

Mike You should also think about yourself. I worked in home care for a number of years with people in very similar situations to yourself. They put so much thought into what the other person may want they forgot their own wants and needs. There was often a crushing...

It's Friday the 13th - does it scare you?

Pitstop @pitstop (14083) • Australia 12 Dec

Friday the 13th has so many stories behind it and some people are scared about it. It's just another day in life isn't it. Does it scare you or do you have any beliefs around it? I'm curious to see what people believe in!

Do you care if J.D. Vance, Trump's V.P. pick, is LGBTQ+?

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Aug

OK, so these pictures of J.D. Vance in drag have come out. So far as I know, he was in Law School at the time. In all honesty, I don't give a rat's ass if Vance is transgender, or whatever. But I would like to see his policies...

Mike I don't know what Trumps views are on the gay thing or the other gender issues. If he doesn't support something as basic as gay marriage then having a VP who maybe isn't 100% straight is a bit strange. Also, if you're not 100% straight why support someone who...

Are you a high maintenance person?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38708) 19 Jul

I am definitely not high maintenance. Raised partly by grandmothers and an aunt, I had a lot of old-school influence in my life. My aunt was somewhat high maintenance, but as she spend many years modeling, I could sort of...

Mike I am a low maintenance person BUT I will spend quite a bit of money on certain things where you do actually get what you pay for. As a work colleague I have been called a perfectionist by some but I'm not I just have standards, they aren't even that...

Can an alcoholic be helped?

Diana @dya80dya (36775) 7 Jul

I understand alcoholic people. They are unhappy and they drink a lot to forget their problems. My dad does the same thing, but I am afraid of him. He drank a lot today and came home a few moments ago. It's 10 pm. I wish I could...

Mike people drink for various reasons. you can't really force someone to stop drinking unless you kidnap them...which is dangerous as stopping alcohol suddenly can be lethal. This is a cliche but still true, they can only be helped if they accept they've got a...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120122) • United States 12 Jun

Should migrant children learn the language of their parents?

Mike Personally I think it's an advantage to speak another language. If your parents are from another country you could be learning from a very young age to speak (for example) English as it's where you were born, and Polish as it is where your parents are from. I...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120122) • United States 18 May
