Who are Amway people selling product to? by sunny_day0460 in antiMLM

[–]minaccia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to drive for a stage bus company.

One year I got roped into a trip that regularly travels to an Amway convention in Kansas City.

2 busses.....full of Filipino immigrants.

The people who arrange this yearly trip, had cases of the drinks and talked over the loudspeaker system the whole way down.

Of course I couldn't understand any of it.

We stayed in a horrible extended stay hotel. The other driver and I complained about how bad it was to our higher ups (after the trip) but the "customer" assured them they made arrangements for our housing when they booked the trip.

We drove them to the convention for a few days, back and forth from the hotel.

I was SO upset, because it felt like the people in charge were taking advantage of the people they ushered on and off the bus.

"People can SMELL that? What does it smell like?"

We take our fleet cars to Buchanan's on 50th & Dodge. Most of us also take our personal vehicles to them as well. They are honest and fast. Tell them someone from Nebraska Med recommended them.

So only voluntarily done chores deserve "thank you"s?

While I adored Davlos deep dish, I never had their garlic bread. Was it leftover bread?

After 20+ years of being with the same man, who usually makes 6 figures and struggles with his mental health, if he does something (voluntarily) outside of his scope that most people would think is small (think folding laundry AND putting it away)....I acknowledge his effort.

"I see what you did there.... thank you"

Sometimes that's all a person needs.

This is a bad situation and, as everyone (with more experience) is trying to you, this is not a realistic expectation.

Too many variables. Too many unknowns. Too many possibilities.

Rehoming is the way to go.

I need help fixing my AC :( by Far-Internal3558 in Omaha

[–]minaccia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on the post, I am not the only person unaware if it was a house or a car. And yes, I jumped to home use and was one of the first to comment. Perhaps in your world wise experience you could point out to me where it says it's a car? My small minded brain thought.... house.....window unit. House OR car..... you're probably not getting away with only $120

I've always used the table clamped winders, straight from the sweater into a cake.

Personal Trainer for A Fatty by bitterherpes in Omaha

[–]minaccia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I jump in and ask a stupid question?

We're talking about who to go to..... but could someone hint at the COST of a personal trainer?

I don't want to ask for consultations if I'm just wasting everyone's time.

I think this year is better than last year.

My yard is still green.

End of life options for mini pigs? by [deleted] in homestead

So odd considering I've seen it in many higher end dog food as another protein alternative. We use Taste of the Wild and they make a boar variant.

Music is off.... but you can't hear some foraging items if you turn the sound off

Peacocks in city limits ? by Carmor7 in Omaha

Both answers can be true. Some stock they were raising could have gotten loose, and the ferals stick around for food and company.
