The first major Amway function the Ambot and I attended was Family Reunion. The upline said we must attend. If we didn't then they'd know we weren't serious business builders and they wouldn't work with us. In hindsight it would have been better to stay at home.
The Ambot came from a lousy family, really horrible people, all of whom have been in trouble with the law at one time or another. This is the type of person that these cults prey upon. So he was all "pumped" and blabbed about family reunion to everyone he came across, probably because his outlaw relatives never had family reunions because they're a shitty excuse for family. These people promised to be his new, better family and made him believe family reunion was the not to miss event of the season.
The plan was to put our dog in a kennel for the weekend and to pick up the Ambot's sponsor, Captain Fuck Up, and his wife and make the 6 hour drive in our car because we owned a new model, reliable vehicle. Captain Fuck Up has one clunker after another that's breaking down. We chose a kennel close to their house, about an hour's drive from us, rather than one of the 4 or 5 kennels within a 15 minute drive from our house. We planned to leave around 10am so we had to book an early check in at the kennel for our dog. Prior to leaving the house Captain Fuck Up called to say his sister was delayed in getting to his house to babysit for the weekend. She wouldn't get there until mid-day. We decided that we'd drive down after dropping the dog off at the kennel so we wouldn't miss that evening's events and they would drive down in their own vehicle mid-afternoon after the relatives arrived at their house.
So now I'm pissed off. We could have taken our dog with us if we'd been travelling alone and not promised the back seat to another couple. The hotel we were staying at allowed dogs. We could have put our dog into a doggy daycare while attending Saturday's function so as not to leave her alone in the hotel room. 4 days board plus extra fee for early check in plus extra walks several times a day came to over $100. We'd already put $100 down on a credit card when we'd made the reservation to confirm the kennel space. If we'd taken our dog with us, free stay at the hotel, plus $20 for Saturday at a doggy daycare about a mile from where the family reunion function was taking place. Pissed me right off, but par for the course for Captain Fuck Up.
About 3 hours into our trip Captain Fuck Up phones to say he can't find his wallet. No wallet means no drivers license, no credit cards, no cash, no ID, etc. He phoned a number of times and in one of the calls he suggested he might have left it at our house. Seeing as how Captain Fuck Up was speaking to the Ambot and not me I don't know if he was demanding we turn around and return home to check our house for his wallet. Wasn't going to happen. His wallet has never been located, in our house or elsewhere.
Around 6pm I pulled into the hotel's parking lot. Ambot's phone rang scaring the shit out of me. You guessed it. Captain Fuck Up again still looking for his wallet and now asking if we knew the hours of the office where he could get a replacement driver's license. Gee its nearly 6 on a Friday night and Captain Fuck Up actually thinks a government office is still going to be open. And what the hell is he harrassing the Ambot for? He's still at home and has access to a phone book where he can phone the office himself and get the information. What more did he want from us?
Anyway Captain Fuck Up and his wife never made it to Family Reunion. Guess they weren't serious business builders. How unfortunate that the upline continued to work with them anyway.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
