How To Lose Money In Las Vegas Without Gambling!

Amway assholes claim that the “very important information” at Amway functions 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago is not the same “very important information” being taught today and us old timer bloggers have outdated information.

Bullshit!

Nothing ever changes in Scamway except for the names.

The Amway cult leaders claim that every Amway function is the one that is life changing and the not to be missed event of the year.

Yawn!

Where have I heard that lie before? Could it be from our sack of shit Platinum?

They don’t teach piss all at any Amway function. There is no leadership skills. There are no sales techniques. There is no business training. Every Amway function is a social gathering (as determined by the IRS) hosted by Diamonds who earn the bulk of their Amway income from the tool scam and conning ambots into attending these major functions. Instead of the promised training all the ambots get are one Barbie and Ken after another slinking across the stage bragging about how rich they are thanks to Amway and showing videos or pictures of their riches. Or maybe that’s the magic of a Hollywood photo shoot! That’s all there is. For hours on end ambots are tortured listening to the Amway assholes up on the stage. The majority of attendees are brainwashed ambots. They are really creepy screaming like the Beatles are up on the stage and rushing to be close to the scamming lying bastards who are taunting them with their words of wisdom about how much they love you and if they can do it then you can too.

The minority are IBOs or their guests who haven’t been brainwashed into the Amway cult. They find Amway functions really creepy. Then they get angry. They were lied to. Instead of the promised business and leadership training they got stuck listening to a bunch of greedy materialistic Amway bastards.

Here are some observations from new IBO Sammy who went to the WWDB Amway Las Vegas Spring Leadership 2012. He heard the same lies I heard a few years ago. He was told to be CORE and invest in the Amway tool scam - Communikate, premier membership to WWDB, buy motivational books and CD’s, etc. He told his upline to fuck off when ordered to attend a night owl and did his own thing - went to sleep. He heard the usual lies about no need to bring money, the ever so generous (gag!) upline will help out with his food and expenses. Lies! Yeah I really want to eat a Scamway food bar in a town where I can get a beer and a hot dog for $1. And as typical with the assholes in the Amway upline they already had their hands out demanding he pay up for a ticket to the next Amway function.

Yes Sammy is one of very few people who go to Las Vegas and lose money without even going inside a casino!

He got scammed by Amway!

He left this comment on my post about World Wide Dreambuilders Amway Spring Leadership Bullshit is finally over.

Glad I came to this site and am not the only one that found this stuff to be bullshit!

I went to the Vegas leadership because i was told its a "Once in a lifetime opportunity" and that it would be "life changing" if I went. 3 days of just nonstop talking about how rich the diamonds are, how we need to plug into CORE, how much they all love us, and on an on and on....I've never felt so stupid for wasting money like that before, ever! We had to sit for 8-12 hours straight and then we went to "night owls" where they just kept repeating the same shit.

I said enough and just went upstairs to the room to get some sleep. The worst part is that Im a med student and I have never heard of Amway. Ive been super skeptical since day one and when the guy told me to take out a loan to get to the convention(again, student so Im essentially broke) I just looked at him like he was insane. Loan? I just paid to get into this dumb idea, paid for a "startup package," paid for my super ultra necessary "communikate" system that gets useless voicemails while I still get txts and phone calls from everyone(I'll never understand that concept) and on top of that, Im gonna pay 50$ a month for cds and books I dont need.

I've already got one foot out the door. Im just trying to bring my friends with me(my buddy who Ive known for 14years) since I thought I was doing him a favor by bringing him into this company. I found myself bugging him to buy once he was my downline and since then, Ive stopped and am doing everything I can to get him out.

Its been only 1 month and theres already a new convention in Washington. Guess what, I cant afford to go since Vegas cleaned me out(must be a first since there was no gambling) and my upline lied to me about costs and food(his words: yea man, just bring like 50$ and we'll help you out and give you meal bars and everything!). He never helped me once while I was there and wouldnt even give me a perfect water without selling it to me.

Guess what, If I miss this one, apparently its the second thing in the world you will regret missing and "you have to be there to set the example for your downline!"

Psh, please, blow it tout your ass ambots.

Life Changing Event or Just More Amway Bullshit?

Some of the lines the Amway upline assholes say to pressure people to come to Amway functions:

Once in a lifetime opportunity

Life changing event

Biggest function of the year

Not to be missed

Some of those statements could be applied to a Madonna concert! Or viewing the pyramids in Egypt.

The thing is between every Amway WWDB function those are some of the lines used by the Amway assholes to influence the cult followers to part with their money at a fucking stupid time wasting Amway shithole event.

Those Amway bastards are so UNoriginal!

There are endless Amway cult meetings held in a month but 4 times a year are major WWDB events where the Diamonds earn the bulk of their Amway income in the tool scam so they book a large venue to get as many IBO’s as they can to attend. The Amway Platinum and Emerald demons are usually the ones assigned to put the screws to the downline to ensure they fucking better get their asses to the function so the Diamonds can get richer.

The Amway assholes bullshit the downline into thinking its a once in a lifetime opportunity, that is until the next Amway once in a lifetime opportunity rolls around in 3 months.

This starts before the last function has ended. The sack of shit Platinum has his hand out wanting the cash for the next major function. This is a common Amway scheme. Gotta get that cash fast in case the ambot quits Amway sometime over the next couple of months. And if you take too damned long to buy the ticket to the next Amway brainwashing conference the upline will mock you until you come up with the money and buy the ticket.

The lying assholes in the Amway upline will lie to the cult followers and brainwash them into believing that they will be learning about leadership, building a business, valuable training advice, and other bullshit Amway propaganda.

The reality is the only thing that is different about the WWDB Amway functions is they change the name: Dream Night, Spring Leadership, Family Function, Free Enterprise Days FED.

There is no training, no business advice, nothing that will help people in a business Amway or anything else. The WWDB Amway functions are a scam. The whole point of holding them is for the Diamonds to make money not for any ambots to gain any business knowledge. The ticket money and commission from hotels is how those sitting at the top of the Amway pyramid make the bulk of their annual income. Now that those Amway assholes have the IBO’s money they have to come up with some kind of a show to keep the ambots entertained. Despite all the  bullshit promises that the Amway assholes said about what was going to happen at this event, the same thing pretty much happens at all of them. Family Reunion will have a few other scamming lying Amway assholes who have reached a certain level usually Platinum sharing the stage with the Diamonds. All those sack of shit Platinums do is thank all the fucking assholes in their upline. Boring shit that goes on for what seems like an hour or two but I think they’re really only assigned 5 or 10 minutes - it only seems like forever. Let’s skip past those bastards. The main reason the brainwashed ambots show up for these Amway functions is to swoon and worship the Diamonds the way their upline has taught them to behave when they come to one of these events and are in the presence of Scamway royalty. The Amway WWDB bullshit session lasts 12 hours or so. Keep the ambots up late and fill them with bullshit so they’ll agree to anything when they’re tired. One couple after another slinks across the stage and they brag about their houses, their sports cars, the luxury vacations they take, all their material possessions. Most of them thank god for bringing Amway into their lives at a time when he was digging ditches and she was slinging burgers at a dive and now look at them and all their riches. Then the next Barbie and Ken Amway Assholes slink across the stage and basically say the same thing except the jobs might be slightly different, always of the minimum wage no experience necessary type of labor. Sometimes they’ll show a video or slide show of their possessions. Whether or not they really own the stuff or its a staged picture shoot is unknown. Its not like you can believe anything that someone in Amway says anywhere because they’re the biggest fucking liars around.

A once in a lifetime not to be missed opportunity? Yeah? Only until the next one rolls around in 3 months.

No one needs to pay big bucks to listen to a bunch of lying Amway assholes. Just hang around Barnes & Noble long enough and an ambot will show up to bullshit you and invite you to a once in a lifetime opportunity.

On the Topic of Thieving Amway IBO’s

I mentioned in a previous post how an ambot in our WWDB crossline has lost his phone at Amway Spring Leadership brainwashing conference. Though I’m sure the real story is he put his phone down, buggered off somewhere leaving it unattended to record the words of wisdom from the Amway cult leaders, and an IBO saw it and said hey free phone! and took it. I don’t know what kind of phone it was. Our sack of shit Platinum was encouraging everyone in the downline to buy a Blackberry so it might have been one of those. All I know is there were enough bells and whistles on it to include a recording device. Yeah its kind of like a news story I heard a month ago where a bunch of cell phones - I think iPhones - were randomly dropped off to see if honest people would return them. They all had tracking devices and were able to be monitored to see what sections of the phone the finder would access.

I was at a park a couple of years ago and seen a young woman was running down the path. She stopped and asked if I’d seen her iPhone. I hadn’t. She’d been in the park and had got back to her car 5 minutes earlier and realized her phone wasn’t in her pocket and was hoping to find it dropped somewhere on the path. But she seemed to doubt she’d ever see it again. What do those things cost? Around $500? Not everyone’s going to be honest enough to return them.

But enough about phones. We were at World Wide Dream Builders Family Reunion and it must have been dinner break. Ambot and I were walking back to the arena from wherever we’d scrounged up food. There were probably about 20 or so ambots walking near us, you know we all get stopped by a traffic light and have to wait to cross so a little group forms. As we got on the arena grounds I noticed a wallet lying on the lawn, about 15 feet or so off the path. So I said hey there’s a wallet and walked over to pick it up. Now I had an audience. All the ambots stopped to watch. What am I? The evening’s entertainment? Or are they all thinking oh fuck she saw it first so I’m out of luck at taking whatever’s inside. I flipped it open looked at the driver’s license and it belonged to some guy out of state most likely an ambot. We had no idea who the guy was so I told Ambot we should go back to the arena and look for security and hand it in. And we continued walking. One of the suck up ambots that was walking near us said something to the effect of where else could you lose a wallet and end up getting it back again but at an Amway function.

Um, just about anywhere in the world. There are honest and dishonest people everywhere. Ambots are liars and scammers so right there is the proof that people in Amway are not honest. The wallet had no money in it. That tells me another ambot came along before I did and found the wallet probably on the path, removed the cash, and then tossed the wallet 15 feet to the side. Not quite good enough aim to make it into the garden and the thief probably didn’t want to call attention to him/herself and retrieve the wallet and make another attempt to hide it.

We had some items stolen by our upline. Mostly things that ambot loaned to our thieving Amway upline and never got back again. One was a cooler that said XS on it. Bought the XS gear at a hugely overinflated price. Not that I give a shit one way or another if I ever see it again because we have enough coolers and I don’t want to go around advertising the cat piss drink but I’m just pointing out that some scamming Amway IBO stole it off us.

We also had a bunch of marketing material stolen off us from people in our Amway upline. Again, nothing that I give a shit about. Its not like I want it back. Just pointing out that Amway ambots are a bunch of thieves and will steal instead of buy. See my ambot had to buy all this shit and provide it for Amway meetings even though that “honor” was supposed to go to higher pins, none of them could afford it so Ambot would jump in and buy it in other words put another Amway related charge on his credit card.

The last stolen item our Amway upline stole from us was a camera and the camera bag. Ambot tried for months to get that back and finally threatened to call the police. At that point someone in his upline got it back from whoever had stolen it (Ambot knew who had it) and we got it back. Broken of course. We have no idea who broke it. These are all a bunch of lying scheming Amway ambots so they would all deny breaking it. No one in Amway takes ownership of anything other than pretending to be fake business owners. And seeing as how they’re a bunch of irresponsible Amway IBO’s none of them would step up and take responsibility and get it repaired. Fucking assholes!

Just give us more reasons to hate Amway and World Wide Destructive Bastards! Not content at just destroying relationships they will destroy your personal property too!

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership Stole My Phone! (Screams an ambot)

An ambot and his phone are parted. Such a sad tale!

After Spring Leadership ended I joined the mass exodus of cars heading out of town. I’d been driving for about half an hour when Ambot’s phone rang. It’s one of his upline’s phone numbers coming up on the call display but its someone crossline who’s actually on the phone talking to him.

The gist of the conversation is the bozo can’t find his cell phone and wonders if Ambot has seen it or taken it with him. Now you’d think a conversation like that would end pretty fast with Ambot saying he hasn’t seen it, he doesn’t have it, he doesn’t know where it is. Then the cellularless bozo can hang up and try someone else. But no. Him and Ambot have some deep philosophical conversation about the missing cell phone that dragged on a good ten minutes. How dumb is that? Especially since we’re in another state and racking up long distance charges seeing as how we don’t have a flat rate plan across the land. Hey, Bozo! Get a clue! Ambot ain’t seen your fucking phone. Hang up! Try someone else instead of discussing the possibilities of what happened to it.

I guess his cell phone has a recording device and Bozo set the recorder and put the phone down somewhere near where Ambot and others in his line were sitting. So Bozo puts his phone down and then buggers off somewhere. Maybe he had a hot date?

Now he’s interrogating the people who were sitting near where he left his phone thinking that one of them might have picked it up or seen who did.

I mean what does he want? A confession? OK I’ll do it just to get the bastard off the phone! “I confess! I saw the henchman take it!”

Just get the bastard off the phone so I can enjoy the drive without enduring any Amway bullshit.

What did you bastards do 20 years ago before everyone owned cell phones with recording devices?

I know! I know! You packed around those big honking tape recorders, you know the ones the size of a lap top that had a microphone attached with a four foot long cord.

At least those big suckers are harder to lose.

As for Bozo, give it up already will you. If your phone isn’t where you last left it and no one turned it into security or lost and found then some thieving IBO is the proud owner of a new cell phone.

Better stop by Verizon in the morning!

Yay! Spring Leadership is DONE!

Spring Leadership sucks!

WWDB sucks!

Amway functions suck!

You Need a Manual for What???!!!!

Some Amway ambots end up at my blog after doing some bizarre searches. I just know I’ll never see it all.

But you know some things just creep you out a little bit.

So I’ve got a brainwashed ambot staying at the Hilton in Lafayette, Louisiana. Maybe one of the other scamming groups in the Amway cult empire is holding their Spring Leadership there I don’t know. My focus is on getting the word out about WWDB because I have nothing but contempt for the cult techniques those World Wide Destructive Bastards use.

So what is Hilton ambot searching for?

“Amway marriage book.”

What the fuck?????

Why does it not surprise me that such a thing exists. I seriously doubt the cult leaders would make it available on the Internet for the rest of us to mock.

So maybe the ambot just got married today and has gone to the Hilton for the wedding night and doesn’t have a clue what to do next so he must consult the Amway marriage book.

Probably the first thing the Amway marriage book says is no sex allowed until you’re at least an Emerald! Remember that phrase the Amway cult leaders are always screeching? “You haven’t earned the privilege yet!” Can’t have anything distracting the ambot from the main goal of making their upline rich. Must put all their energy into buying Amway products and investing in the tool scam. I feel really bad for the bride. I know what its like to be married to an ambot and I know the descent into hell ride she has in front of her.

So where did the creepy Hilton ambot who needs advice from the Amway marriage book end up at my blog. My post about the creepy henchman of Amway WWDB Spring Leadership.  Kind of fitting.

So now its got me thinking. I need to come up with the Anna Banana version of the Amway marriage book!

Spring Leadership Bullshit is Over!

Spring Leadership is over? Not really. Its only getting started for thousands of ambots making the pilgrimage to the annual WWDB Amway brainwashing meeting to pour more money into the tool scam and make their upline Diamonds at the top of the pyramid richer. Amway WWDB Spring Leadership is on this weekend April 13, 14, 15 2012 in Las Vegas. The title of this post refers to when Spring Leadership that Ambot attended had come to an end. I am getting a ton of hits on the old search engines for Spring Leadership 2012 except for a few loser ambots who don't know what year it is and are searching for information for Amway Spring Leadership 2011. Dumb ass ambots were probably told by their cult leaders that just because they're in Amway that gives them the power to turn back time. 

The Amway WWDB Spring Leadership brainwashing conference has come to an end.

Yee haw!

Let’s get in the car and get the hell out of here ASAP! We have a long drive ahead of us and about 3 hours left of daylight. The highway is going to be packed very quickly with IBO’s wanting to get the hell of out Dodge. I want to get ahead of as many of those brainwashed jerks as fast as I can and keep driving until sunset and then find somewhere to eat.

Ambot got out of the stadium fast enough but the fucking Eagle and a couple of his downline are hot on his heels. I was waiting in a 5 minute passenger pick up/drop off zone with a bunch of taxis in front of the arena so I didn’t have to pay for parking. Ambot shows up with the entourage in tow and announces the others want to go to Red Lobster for dinner and he’d like us to join them.

Hell no! I don’t want to eat dinner with those World Wide Destructive Bastards!

As much as I like eating at Red Lobster I have no interest in dining with a bunch of kiddies, one of them being the young lady who came down to the hotel dining room in her jammies. I just want to get going and put some miles behind us while we still had daylight. I had no idea where the Red Lobster was in this town but lets say 15 minutes or so to figure that out and in the past my dining experiences there have taken at least an hour. We’d be burning daylight. I don’t think so. I’m just as happy stopping at Denny’s at nightfall for a burger. Less expensive too. We’re not like the rest of those tax cheating IBO’s. Our accountant don’t let us claim NOTHING to do with Amway on our tax return because our accountant only deals in legitimate businesses not pyramid schemes.

Ambot looks disappointed but gets in the car.

Spring Leadership is done for another year.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!!

Fuck you bastards!

The Ambot Amway Leadership Dilemma

So I get some brainwashed ambot asshole from Minneapolis doing an online search about WWDB Amway Spring Leadership at the Orleans Arena - which is in Las Vegas. He ends up at a post I wrote in 2011 about Amway WWDB Spring Leadership. Left me the typical canned amspeak response that I’m broke. Oh shit! What will I ever do with my house and my cars now that I’m all of a sudden broke because some fucking Amway ambot declares it so! Surely a person as broke as me with an income more than what Amway says the average Diamond grosses is DOOMED!!!! It never fails to amaze me that ambots have such low opinions of their Diamonds. If our income is higher than a Diamond and I’m broke - then what does that say about their fucking Amway Diamonds?

But back to the asshole ambot searching for Amway WWDB Spring Leadership being held at the Orelans Arena. I know some people might be thinking so what. Maybe its the closest Amway WWDB Spring Leadership location closest to the fucking ambot’s house.

Nope.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership is being held in the Minneapolis Convention Center on May 5 and 6 2012. Logic would dictate if a brainwashed ambot lives in Minneapolis and Spring Leadership is being held there then wow don’t get much better than this. Can do Spring Leadership cheaply no hotel and bare minimum transportation expenses.

But the ambot asshole is searching for Spring Leadership at the Orleans Arena. That would be this coming weekend April 13, 14, 15 2012 in Las Vegas.

Well I know why I would want to go to Las Vegas and its got nothing to do with being brainwashed at some fucking Amway conference! But the only reason this ambot is looking to go is to catch World Wide Dream Builders Spring Leadership. So there are at least two opportunities for asshole ambot to attend: in his/her hometown and spending some bucks to go to Las Vegas. Yup those ambots are encouraged to attend as many Spring Leaderships as they can. Gotta invest in the tool scam. Gotta make the cult leaders perched on top of the pyramid even richer.

That asshole ambot will probably be back searching for Spring Break in some of the other cities too.

Had a good laugh the other morning. An employee at Amway’s head office in Ada is fucking around on the Internet instead of getting their work done and searching for information on WWDB Spring Leadership in Washington DC and what is the first link on the search engine? Married to an Ambot blog! Dumb ass clicked it on it a couple of times. Amway and WWDB in their quest for high secrecy doesn’t make this information available so ambots have to search online and they all find their way to Anna Banana!

You’re NOT Invited to Top Secret Spring Leadership Meetings!

Seeing as how Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012 is HOT on the search engines right now I’m keeping my blog near the top by resurrecting some previous posts of Spring Leadership memories. I’ve said it all before so I don’t have too much new to add! But I’ll keep reeling in dumb ass ambots desperate for any information!

On Sunday morning I’m driving Ambot to the arena where Amway WWDB Spring Leadership is being held. I’ve got to circumnavigate the entire complex to get to the front doors so I can get Ambot there early enough to stand in line with all the other keeners. I’m about two blocks away when Ambot spots the sack of shit Platinum standing on a sidewalk or parking lot area with about 30 cult followers standing around him in awe listening to him spout off his bullshit. Fucking morons! Worshippers of the World Wide Destructive Bastards cult!

Ambot panics! He’s late for some meeting that he doesn’t remember being told to attend. He’s mostly scared shitless because he’ll be berated by the sack of shit Platinum and ridiculed in front of everyone for being late. That’s the way Amway cult leaders operate. Fear and obedience. Because I’d rather tell everyone in my upline to fuck off than listen to their lies I’d never make a good Amway cult follower! So I let Ambot out of the car and continued alone to entertain myself for the day.

Later Ambot tells me when he’s rushing to join up with the cult followers that the Platinum’s henchman springs out of the group and wants to know what he’s doing there. Ambot explains we were driving past and he saw the cult leader preaching to his flock and didn’t want to miss out on this very important meeting that he clearly was not invited to.

The henchman explains its for another World Wide Destructive Bastards downline in the sack of shit’s Amway business and because Ambot is in a different crossline and the brainwashing methods are different he was not invited to this cult meeting.

Splitting hairs, the henchman is in the same line as Ambot so why is he being subjected to this other line’s brainwashing? Ah ha some cult followers are just gluttons for punishment! Or there’s some MLM espionage going on!

But then the henchman tells Ambot he can stay if he wants to. And of course he does. Can’t miss a word of wisdom from the beloved cult leader.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!

World Wide Destructive Bastards suck!!!!

The fucking sack of shit Platinum sucks!!!!!

Things to do in Minneapolis instead of WWDB Amway Spring Leadership

Here is the last in my series of posts on what to do in the cities were Amway World Wide Dream Builders are holding Spring Leadership 2012.

This year Amway WWDB is holding Spring Leadership in Minneapolis on May 5 and 6 2012 in the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Hmmm. Shows what I know. Never knew Minneapolis is known for holding conventions so that they’d actually have a center to hold them in! I always thought the only thing Minneapolis was known for was home to the Mary Tyler Moore Show!

No really. Practically everything I know about Minneapolis I know from watching the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Seeing as how its been many years since I last saw one of those reruns well that pretty much puts me as good as knowing nothing. I remember there were a lot of snow storms during the show. Anyway if you want to see the statue of Mary Tyler Moore tossing her hat in the air its in front of Macy’s at 700 Nicollet Mall. Here’s a page that has some photos of the statue. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/5735 Doesn’t cost nothing to go over and look at the news girl who’s gonna make it on her own. Unlike the Amway ambot crowd! They will NEVER make it!

Segway Tours  A little pricey at $80 for a 2 or 3 hour tour around town on a Segway but at least it comes in well under wasting $125 to be brainwashed at an Amway convention.

I have discovered the much coveted zoo in town. The Minnesota Zoo. At $18 its nearly as pricey as that zoo up in Calgary! Seniors and children are $12.

Minneapolis Institute of Arts gets high marks on Trip Advisor. And its free!

Stone Arch Bridge Who wants to walk over the Mississippi River? Kodak moment!

OK. I found the perfect place for me in Minneapolis. Surly Beer! http://www.surlybrewing.com/ Free tour. Free beer. Not a lot I can say other than those schnooks up in Calgary with the big rock problem should be taking notes. FREE! Not rip off $25!!!!

If you’re really going to Minneapolis here’s a web page with free and cheap things to do there. http://attractions.uptake.com/minnesota/minneapolis/cheap_vacations/698024255.html A lot of it involves going to parks. Yup even Anna Banana could hang out at a park all day if the alternative was getting brainwashed at an Amway cult meeting called Spring Leadership!

Amway sucks!

WWDB sucks!

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!

Things to do in Calgary Alberta instead of WWDB Amway Spring Leadership 2012

Amway WWDB will be holding Spring Leadership in Calgary Alberta on May 5 and 6 2012 at the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede.

Keeping with my theme of finding better things to do than spend $125 for a ticket to World Wide Dream Builders Spring Leadership 2012 going to an Amway function to get brainwashed.

Calgary was nearly as tough a town to find things to do as Spokane was. Not too many attractions that aren’t seasonal or out of town. It looks like Calgary has parks and festivals and rodeos but with time constraints, none that are happening May 5 and 6 2012.

Believe it or not Anna Banana actually sort of knows where Calgary is. One of my friends from L.A. moved to Saskatchewan years ago. Sometime in the late 90’s Ambot and I drove up to visit her and her husband. Pretty easy to get there. Get on I-5 and head north that goes all the way to the Washington British Columbia border. Then there’s another highway I think it was called the Canada Highway and it goes all the way east across Canada to the Atlantic ocean. So that was the highway we were on and it drives right through Calgary. We did not stop. Nothing there that looked of interest to us. I have a couple of vague memories of driving through Alberta besides not stopping in Calgary. First off every radio station plays country music. Didn’t bother me too much because I like all kinds of music but Ambot was really bitchy about the music selection. Also all they do on the radio is talk about Albertan schnooks. Yeah OK. Well all I do here is talk about ambots!

Hey - who would pay to see a fight between an Albertan ambot and an Albertan schnook? Ha ha!

Calgary Tower - Its open daily 9am to 9pm. The description says from the top you can see the city, the Rockies, and the prairies. Sounds a little dull to me. Tickets cost $15.24. What the fuck kind of price is that? Why not $15 or $16 or $15.25? Normally I would say different prices for different age groups but these prices are so fucking bizarre I have to put them down.. Over 65 years $13.33. Between 13 and 17 $10.48. Ages 4 to 12 $6.67. Then you got to put 5% tax on top of that. What the fuck are they charging tax on something like this? Its not like its an actual product. You get on an elevator ride up and look at the city and the prairie? I couldn’t find any twofer coupons. At least in Las Vegas the two towers cost about the same price but has 2 for 1 coupons everywhere so $15 for 2 people is a better deal. Go to Spring Leadership in Las Vegas as long as you’re not actually attending the Amway brainwash conference. The view from their towers is a lot more interesting!

The Calgary Zoo.  Yup, I have found yet another zoo in a city where Amway WWDB is holding Spring Leadership! The zoo here costs a few bucks more than other city zoos at $21. Maybe it costs more to feed animals in Canada? Lower prices for different age groups. At least they don’t have the bizarre penny pincher pricing at the zoo that the tower has. But they still want to charge you tax on top of it.

Glenbow Museum.  Some people on Trip Advisor say its a nice museum. Costs $14, slightly less for other age groups. At least this one includes the tax in your admission! I’d still go to the zoo over the museum.

Big Rock Brewery - Seeing as how I’ve found other beer breweries in other towns offering free tours and tasting I decided to check this one out. First thing I found out is they want you to cough up $25 for tour and tasting! Holy shit! Did they hear a bunch of ambots were going to be in town and decide to rip them off seeing as how they’re already used to being ripped off by Amway? So I’d say give this stinker a pass and stick with where you can get the freebie beer tours and tasting. But the name intrigued me. Did this Albertan schnook have a big rock in his yard he had to figure out what to do with? The website gave a little more info and apparently there’s this big rock out in a field a few miles south of Calgary that was deposited there by a glacier and people go out there and look at it. Yup. Life doesn’t get much more exciting in Alberta than driving around looking for rocks out in fields!

No offense to anyone from Calgary but it looks like the biggest hit with tourists would be the highway heading out of town!

If you’re married to an ambot try to steer him to Honolulu or Las Vegas for Spring Leadership where at least you’ll have stuff to do while he’s out being brainwashed by the cult leaders.

Amway sucks!

WWDB sucks!

Spring Leadership sucks!

Finding stuff to do in Calgary instead of going to Spring Leadership sucks!

Ha ha. I am such a city girl!

Whooping It Up At Amway WWDB Spring Break (oops!) Leadership!

Continuing with my series on what its like at Amway WWDB Spring Leadership I originally wrote this last year but I’m bringing it up again for new readers. This is to describe some of the behind the scenes bullshit that goes on at Amway functions. Most of the new recruits are young IBO’s and are attending an Amway function for the first time. Possibly one of the first times they’ve been away from home and not vacationing with mommy and daddy and are using Spring Leadership as party time. For christsakes go to Fort Lauderdale for your shenanigans if you want to party party party! Be cheaper than attending a shitty WWDB Amway function like Spring Leadership.

Ambot and I went for a walk later in the evening and when we returned to the hotel the clerks were still flipped out from dealing with the brainwashed henchman and reinforcing to him how his credit card was being charged hundreds of dollars for the hotel rooms he held in his name and guaranteed with his credit card for payment. On top of that I gather some IBO’s were behaving badly and they were dealing with hotel guests phoning complaints to the desk. Think Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. Great just what we want. A bunch of drunken IBO’s in various stages of dress or undress whooping it up in the hallways while room hopping.

I mean really. Who believes when the upline designates girls in one room and boys in another room that they’re really going to abide with the sleeping arrangements?

The hotel we were staying at had a complimentary light breakfast. Cereals, breads, donuts, fruit, yogurt, coffee, that sort of thing. The restaurant - and I use that term lightly - perhaps dining room is a better choice of words - the place where the food was set out and tables and chairs set up. The hotel staff said they had to keep an eye on who was walking through their lobby in the morning looking for free food. Must be a lot of hungry locals around!

There were other guests in the hotel besides Amway conventioneers and it was busy when we got to the dining room. An IBO we knew, a young lady in her 20’s, was sitting at a table with three others. The other three were dressed in their business attire ready to get going to Spring Leadership. She was in her jammies! I mean what the fuck? Have some respect girl! You are in a public place, a restaurant using the term loosely, full of other hotel guests and hotel staff keeping the food stocked up. Did you not notice how everyone else managed to pull their clothes on before leaving their hotel rooms? Even the family with the two little kids are fully dressed. And you’re in your pj’s and slippers. Incredible! And its not like your room is across the hall and you can duck over and back before anyone spots you. You had to walk down a hallway and ride an elevator to get here potentially passing other hotel guests, not all of whom are ambots.

Maybe it was just the air in this town. I went for a walk and when I returned there was a woman in her pyjamas standing in the garden in front of the hotel letting her dog do its business there. And here I thought it was bad enough to be wandering around inside the hotel in your jammies and here’s someone outside the hotel in her pj’s. And this woman had to be in her forties. We’re not talking some kid here.

Do you ladies not have any sense of common decency and what is appropriate to wear in public and what’s not? I have no idea if the dog lady was with Amway but I know the one in the dining room was. Perhaps Amway should send a message out to their IBO’s and quote Mary Kay who says the first thing you do in the morning is get dressed to your shoes. That means you get out of bed and put on the outfit you’re wearing that day, make up, and shoes. You have to be ready to greet anyone who comes to your door unexpectedly. Also means if you have to leave the house in a nanosecond that you’re ready to grab your keys and go.

Time for me to drive Ambot to the convention center and then I can spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool and reading my book.....

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!

And wastes time and money!!!!!

What to do in Denver Colorado instead of Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012

This post about the things to do in Denver Colorado instead of attending Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012 is partly borrowed from last year’s post about things to do in Denver during Free Enterprise Days (FED) 2011.

This year the Amway conference WWDB Spring Leadership will be held in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center April 28 and 29 2012.

Keeping up with my theme of finding better and lower priced things to do in cities holding Amway functions, instead of going to the brainwashing convention I’ve tried to round up a few fun things to do in Denver Colorado. Most of the fun things seem to involve driving out of Denver and hitting the ski slopes! Hmm end of April may be a little late for skiing. I’ll see what else I can find.

Who saw the movie Cliffhanger? The Denver Mint was featured in it transporting out of circulation money. Hijacking and plane crashes and action packed scenes. So the United States Mint is a good choice. And its free! Woo hoo! Sucks that you can’t bring your purse into this place. Where you gonna stash some cash! I love that you are allowed to bring your cell phone inside but if you whip it out you will be escorted out by Mint Security. If ambots are visiting they’d have to call in extra security to escort out those damned ambots because of their fuck you I’m better than everyone else attitude and I’ll use my fucking cell phone if I want to! http://www.usmint.gov/mint_tours/index.cfm?action=StartReservation

Coors Brewery Tour - Free tour. Free beer tasting. Need I say anything else? Here’s the website for more info. http://www.millercoors.com/golden-brewery-tour.aspx

Denver Zoo - Oh how I love a zoo! As long as its not the Amway zoo! It is nice that most of the places Amway holds functions have a zoo. Coin toss! Should I visit the baboons at the Denver Zoo or the baboons stomping across the stage at Amway WWDB Spring Leadership? Admission is $15 or slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 years or younger than 12 years. A couple could spend a day at the zoo and go out for a really nice dinner all for less than the cost of one $125 ticket to Spring Leadership. http://www.denverzoo.org/

Denver Art Museum - if you’re into looking at works of art this is the place to be. It costs $13 or slightly cheaper if you’re a Colorado resident. Where’s that coin for the toss? Museum or zoo? Goodbye Picasso hello lions. http://www.denverartmuseum.org/

Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum - I’ve visited a few aircraft museums and this is something I’d consider seeing as how I still haven’t gotten over the Spruce Goose being moved out of Long Beach! Not that goosie is in Colorado. I think it went somewhere in Oregon. Admission is $11. Slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 or under 12. http://www.wingsmuseum.org/

Molly Brown House Museum - If you’re a Titanic trivia buff you’ll enjoy this museum where the unsinkable Molly Brown lived. Admission is $8, slightly cheaper for other age groups. But April is the month to be here because to honor the 100 year anniversary of the disaster all month long they are having Titanic Tours - cost $10.  Lets see. We have our choice. Going to an evening of Amway horrors for $125 or going to a place where someone lived through the horrors of the sinking Titanic. I know which one I’m choosing! http://www.mollybrown.org/

Want to do some shopping? Denver’s 16th Street Mall is a much better place to spend the day than stuck inside an auditorium listening to a bunch of aging Diamonds who use Amway functions to make their real money. Free shuttle buses and free Wifi anywhere up and down the pedestrian mall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_Mall

WWDB Amway Spring Leadership sucks!

And there are better things to do in Denver than attend a fucking Amway function!

Strike 2 For Amway Spring Leadership Henchman!

Here’s a recycled post about the shitty times that are all part of attending WWDB Amway Spring Leadership. Our good buddy the Platinum’s henchman needs a shovel to get out of the shit he created!

Ambot and I were probably the first IBO’s to check in at our hotel for the WWDB Spring Leadership function. We’d left home early, spent all day driving and got there late afternoon. After putting our luggage in the room we headed over to Barnes & Noble to buy a book I wanted to read on the weekend and then out for dinner. IBO’s were arriving by the time we got back to the hotel.

The two employees working the hotel counter looked frazzled. And no wonder. They were dealing with the Platinum’s henchman. I gather there’d been a number of no shows and the problem was the henchman had been screwing around with people’s hotel reservations on the WWDB blocked rooms like he’d tried to do with Ambot. Except now he was on the hook because he’d used his own credit card to guarantee the rooms when he was so busy reassigning everyone and now he was holding empty hotel rooms with no live bodies to put in them and he was arguing with the staff about how his credit card was being charged for the empty rooms. He arrived too late to cancel the rooms and incurred a one night fee on all of them.

To give the henchman credit - or lack thereof - I doubt the asshole thought about messing around with hotel rooms all on his own. The only possible reason he’d have done this was on the direct orders of the sack of shit Platinum who must have decided they better have empty rooms available for the dozens of guests and prospects they’d been so sure were going to make the pilgrimage to attend Spring Leadership and see what this awesome Amway business opportunity was all about. Except the prospects/newbies were all no shows leaving the henchman with a hotel bill for quite a few empty rooms that he was trying to argue about with the staff who were charging him $100 x number of rooms for one night’s cancellation policy. Most hotels have a policy that you use a credit card to guarantee your room if you plan to arrive late, say after 6pm. That way the hotel will hold the room for you all night instead of selling it to someone who walks in off the street. If you don’t show up or don’t cancel the room before the cut off time your credit card will be charged for one night’s stay.

I’m not sure how that turned out but I hope the hotel stuck to their guns and didn’t reverse the credit card charge. Would serve the henchman right. I mean what a dumb ass thing to do. Serves the bastard right for listening to the dumb ass Platinum!

Oh and interestingly enough the sack of shit Platinum was staying at another hotel that he deemed to be a better hotel. The only IBO’s “allowed” to stay at that other hotel were those making it in the business, not the rest of us lowly bastards. Ha ha, him and his wife were sharing a room with at least one other couple that we knew of, maybe more. I guess that kills the mood if romance is in the air! Or I suppose it heightens the mood if orgy is in the air! Damn if I’d known he was staying at the other hotel I’d have booked a room there just to piss off the bastard!

And to chalk up another hotel room getting charged to the henchman’s credit card!

Yeah! Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!

What to do in Washington DC instead of Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012

This year WWDB Amway is holding Spring Leadership in Washington DC on April 21 and 22 2012 in the Westin Washington Dulles Airport.

I am not familiar at all with this hotel but a quick Google search takes me to their web page and I found the information for their meeting and banquet rooms. The banquet rooms are smaller but 3 or 4 of them walls can be opened up to hold 380 people. Or open up a bunch of them to get what is called the ballroom and that holds 600 people. So there you have it. Choose an option. 600 or 380 ambots. At $125 ticket. $75,000 or $47,500. I have no idea what the cost to rent the facility is for the entire weekend but lets call it $20,000 for the sake or argument. And another $5,000 into WWDB’s bank account for booking and all the other trouble they go to. Ha ha! It would suck if you’re the Diamond(s) at the Washington DC Spring Leadership. Small room = smaller number of attendees = less tool scam money. Lets say high case scenario 600 ambots. After the hotel and WWDB are paid that’s $55,000 to be split amongst the Diamonds. Certainly not too shabby an amount for scamming people but there will be infighting for sure. There was probably already Diamond fighting over who was going to get stuck with the small event and less money in their wallet.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership Washington DC is an unfortunate conflict for some good little ambots because there is another Amway conference happening in Spokane the same weekend April 20, 21, 22 2012. I can imagine the torture and anguish as those bastards try to figure out how to be in 2 different places at the same time on opposite coasts! Ha ha!

This also does bring a question to mind. Spring Leadership costs $125 for the weekend. It would appear the ambots attending Spring Leadership in Spokane are getting more bang for their buck than the ambots attending Spring Leadership in Washington DC. That is because Spokane is 3 days and Washington DC WWDB Spring Leadership is 2 days. So are the ambots in Washington DC bitching about being ripped off? Well they should be bitching about being ripped off anyway because this is all part of the Amway tool scam. Or are the ambots going to Spokane so fucking dense that they need an extra day to “get it”?

Either way this means another one of my posts where I find things to do in town instead of attending World Wide Dream Builders Amway Spring Leadership brainwashing conference. I would recommend staying at home - save time and money instead of blowing it on the Amway tool scam plus the costs getting and staying in Washington DC. Somehow I think it would be a little cheaper to stay in Spokane instead of DC but the airfare has gotta be a bitch! Anyway gotta get some more keywords in cause I got lots of ambots searching for how they can be brainwashed at Spring Leadership which means I gotta get going on my ambot travel guides for Honolulu, Minneapolis, Denver and Calgary. I’ve already covered Spokane and Las Vegas Amway conference WWDB Spring Leadership 2012.

I found a website that highlights 100 free of nearly free things to do in Washington DC. Uh huh. Almost sounds like being in Tijuana - almost free! http://washington.org/visiting/browse-dc/attractions/100-free-things-to-do

How about taking a tour of the White House? I’ve never done it but my aunt did and she said it was free. She had to write a letter to her congressman requesting the tour and sure enough the web page I found here says pretty much the same thing so it does require a little advance planning. You can be pretty darned sure they’re running a security check on everyone before they get accepted for a tour. http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/tours-and-events

Or you could just walk past 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and take pictures. Beats sitting inside an Amway meeting!

Actually if it was me I’d just keep walking and head to the Washington Mall and take pictures of Capitol Hill and the monuments and memorials.

Visiting the Smithsonian Museum is a much more interesting and educational way to spend the day than being brainwashed at an Amway meeting. Can’t beat the price - free! - 10am to 5:30pm.

The National Zoo is a great way to spend a day. And a much better deal than shelling out big bucks for Amway WWDB Spring Leadership. Yup another freebie! Go visit the lions and tigers display and imagine what fun it would be to set these big cats loose inside an Amway convention! Yeah! I would pay for that! As long as I had a safe viewing area that is!

If you’d like to walk in George Washington’s footsteps it might be worth while to take a short drive out of DC and head to Virginia where Mount Vernon mansion is located. Tours cost $15. Slightly less if you’re over 62 or under 12. http://www.mountvernon.org/

So there you have it. Much better things to choose from in Washington DC instead of wasting time getting brainwashed at an Amway function.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!

What is there to do in Spokane Instead of WWDB Amway Spring Leadership 2012?

This year WWDB Amway is holding Spring Leadership in Spokane on April 20, 21, 22 2012 in the Spokane Arena.

So that means another one of my posts where I find things to do in town instead of attending Spring Leadership. Actually sitting in your hotel room watching TV would be more productive than attending the Spring Leadership brainwashing session. Staying at home would save you time and money instead of blowing it on the Amway tool scam and the incidental costs incurred getting and staying there. Anyway gotta get some keywords in cause I got lots of ambots searching which unfortunately means I gotta get going on the other cities besides Spokane too. That would include Las Vegas, Denver, Washington DC, Honolulu, Minneapolis and Calgary. Amway conference WWDB Spring Leadership 2012.

Now what really sucks is that I could have sworn last year I devoted a post about what there was to do in Spokane and I was going to recycle it but I guess I didn’t or else there was nothing going on in Spokane last year. So I’m kind of flying blind here. No insult to anyone from Spokane but it does not seem to be on the radar as far as exciting tourist destinations go. Apparently some Amway cult leaders live in the area. I had to look on a map to find it. Washington! Looks to be east of Seattle by a couple hundred miles maybe? Near the Idaho border. Kind of off the beaten path.

This was a difficult task. I tried my old friend Trip Advisor and mostly all I came up with were parks, a place to buy fresh fruit and vegetables (a total no-no for ambots who are supposed to consume Nutrilite vitamins instead!), biking trails, and river rafting.

So then I found the visit Spokane website http://www.visitspokane.com/ and clicked on events for April 20 2012 and the first thing that comes up is something that looks like fun called Dummy Downhill last day of the season at a tubecoaster ski hill. Dummy sounds like a good name to throw around at Amway conventions so I looked a little closer at it and its some event held in Kelowna, British Columbia. What the fuck? Says its about 5 hours NW of Spokane!!! Like what the hell is that doing in there. I would hardly call that a “nearby” event to take in while visiting Spokane but when you’re that far out in the boonies perhaps 5 hours is the closest town to get to for some fun. The next event listed is also at the same fucking ski hill! So I go a couple down the events list and find something called Best of the Suspense Classics, Anatomy of a Murder. OK now this sounds like something decent for a Scamway weekend. Held at the Bing Crosby theater http://www.bingcrosbytheateradvocates.org/Advocates/Welcome.html

Spokane Riverfront Park http://spokaneriverfrontpark.com/ - I don’t know. The name is not appealing to me. I think of rivers as mosquito spawning grounds. Not to mention you don’t know what kind of evil river serpents are swimming around in there. Oh. I guess that would just be the Amway upline! It looks like they’re open for business starting the week before Amway WWDB Spring Leadership and a one day pass is $19.95 and includes rides on a ferris wheel, bumper cars, tilt a whirl, a carousel, and other rides that all sound a little tame to me.

Spokane Falls Skyride http://spokaneriverfrontpark.com/index.php/RFP/page/360/ - costs $7.50 or a little less if you’re a kid or a senior. The picture shows riding in an enclosed gondola and getting near the spray. For a 15 minute ride it looks like it might be fun more so if water splashes inside the gondolas!

So sorry folks, kind of coming up dry in this town. But you don’t need to be dry. Surprisingly there are a few wineries in the area. Grapes grow well in Spokane? Try Arborcrest Wine Cellars http://www.arborcrest.com/ . They are having a tulip festival in April so it looks like a chance to see some pretty spring flowers in bloom.

Signing off!

WWDB = World Wide Destructive Bastards!

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!

All Amway functions suck!

What is there to do in Las Vegas Instead of WWDB Amway Spring Leadership 2012

This year WWDB Amway is holding Spring Leadership in Las Vegas on April 13, 14, 15 2012 in the Orleans Arena.

So that means another one of my posts where I find things to do in town instead of attending Spring Leadership. Actually sitting in your hotel room watching TV would be more productive than attending the Spring Leadership brainwashing session. But Las Vegas is a town devoted to entertaining its visitors so there are no shortage of things to do in this city that never sleeps. The thing that everyone associates Las Vegas with is gambling. Some people who’ve never been don’t realize there are other things to do. A foreign concept to Amway IBO’s who probably think there is nothing else to do in this town except attend an Amway function called Spring Leadership. When you’re an ambot in love with Amway all you can say is - “what else is there”.

Anna Banana has spent time working in Las Vegas years ago. I love this city but I don’t go back to visit as often as I’d like. I’ve got a few things to share about hanging out in Las Vegas instead of attending a shitty Amway function like WWDB Spring Leadership 2012.

Long gone are the days in Las Vegas when casinos were trying to lure in gamblers with all you can eat buffets under $10. These days the hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard have increased the quality and selection of the food at their buffets and likewise the price has jumped up. Dinner at an all you can eat will cost $20, more if you eat somewhere like at the Bellagio. Non-buffet restaurants in the hotel/casinos run what you’d pay for a medium priced meal anywhere else in the country - $10 to $20 entrees, most meals OK but not usually worth the money. The best bang for your buck is to head downtown to the older hotels/casinos in the Fremont Street Experience. Here you will find all you can eat buffets under $10 - barely. Most of the hotel/casinos here have decent non-buffet meals for under $10. You might still find one of those infamous shrimp cocktails for a buck or two. If you weigh over 350 pounds you can eat for free at the Heart Attack Grill.

Nightlife - again Las Vegas has no shortage of options. Most hotels give you a coupon book when you check in and you might be lucky to find a 2 for 1 coupon at a show you might actually like to see. Unfortunately you will not see the twofers to Celine Dion or Elton John. Not even Donny and Marie! All these acts cost over $100 per person. There is also several booths called Half Price Tickets or maybe its Half Price Shows I don’t remember exactly which its called and you can ask them what prices they have for some acts. Usually the good shows you want to see are not half price but they have a small discount. Don’t confuse them with the time share salespeople who are as bad as Amway salesmen and will pop up everywhere wanting to give you free tickets and free meals. Yeah if you don’t mind sitting through a 3 hour high pressured sales presentation for a time share condo. Some people don’t mind don’t mind doing that for the freebies! And at least they give you freebies for sitting through their sales pitch. Amway ambots don’t give you piss all.

Should be interesting having a flock of Amway salespeople in town looking for new recruits and the only people who want to talk to them are time share salespeople. Who’s going to win that round?

Free nightlife - yes there are a few free things to do at night in Las Vegas. The Treasure Island Hotel has a pirate ship show. I hate to give out wrong times but I think the first show is at 7pm and it goes every hour and a half until around 11pm. The times are posted on the sidewalk near the show area. Get there ahead of time because this place gets PACKED with people crowded all over the sidewalks and viewing areas. Next door at the Mirage is a volcano that erupts starting (I think) at 7pm and every hour until midnight. The Bellagio Hotel has a fountain and light and music show that starts sometime in the afternoon and goes until midnight every 15 minutes a new musical selection.

Of course just people watching and going for a walk and looking at all the lights and displays is entertainment in itself.

Also free (maybe) but not open at night is the car museum at the Imperial Palace Hotel http://autocollections.com/ Go to the tab that says free admission and print out a couple of free passes. If you forget most hotels in Las Vegas give you a coupon book when you register and it almost always includes a free admission to the car museum or a twofer. If you forget your free pass admission is $8.95 which is still a pretty good deal if you like collectible cars.

If you’re not afraid of heights you can go up the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel or way down off the Strip way past on the other side of Circus Circus is a hotel called the Stratosphere and there’s an elevator up to a viewing area and some amusement park attractions up there that will cure your fear of heights if you go on them because you’ll probably die of a heart attack! Watch your coupon books. These places have twofers.

Fremont Street Experience is downtown Las Vegas where some old hotels like the Golden Nugget, 4 Queens, and Fitzgeralds are located and have cheaper prices than hotels on the Strip. The area was closed off to cars years ago. There is often some kind of musical act playing on a stage that doesn’t cost anything to watch. At night there is a light show on the domed roof with a musical accompaniment that you can’t hear because of the disco sound system blasting out of all the casinos on Fremont. If you’re not afraid of heights there is a zip line that takes you from one end to partly down Fremont Street, maybe a block or so ride, costs $10 or $15 depends if you zip at night or day.

Want to see the Hoover Dam or Grand Canyon? Either rent a car or there are a bunch of bus tours that take you and will pick up/drop off at your hotel. Starts around $30 depends what you’re doing and if you choose a tour that includes Liberace’s museum or a buffet lunch somewhere.

So there you have it. Lots of things to do in Las Vegas either for free or on the cheap that won’t cost you as much as it does to go to WWDB Amway Spring Leadership 2012. Not to mention lots more fun! This is a town built for fun! Don’t wreck it by going to a fucking stupid Amway convention!

Oh and if anyone wants to search out Anna Banana’s favorite Las Vegas treat - go to Fremont Street and look for the Mermaids Casino. Inside there is a snack bar where you can buy a frozen banana on a stick dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts! Yummy!

And let me sign off as I usually do with one of these posts!

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!

All Amway functions suck!

The Creepy Henchman of Amway WWDB Spring Leadership

Seeing as how I don’t have anything new to add about Amway WWDB Spring Leadership here is a rehash of one of my favorite posts.

There’s a little creep who kisses the Platinum’s ass. I’ll call him the henchman.

Somehow the henchman has access to the hotel reservations that the IBO’s in his Line Of Sponsorship have reserved on the WWDB website for the Spring Leadership convention. Desperate to find something in his life that he can monopolize, a few days before Spring Leadership he moves all the hotel reservations for everyone in our LOS under his name. Of course he now has to use his own credit card number to guarantee all these hotel rooms.

What a fucking moron! Why would he do this? Does he not realize that if nobody shows up to use these rooms and pays him back his credit card is on the hook for any hotel reservations that are not cancelled prior to the hotel’s cut off time. Empty full or anywhere inbetween his credit card will be charged for all hotel reservations under his name unless he cancels them by whatever time the hotel has in their contract. I have no idea what this hotel’s cancellation policy cut off time is. 5pm? 6pm? 24 hours in advance?

The henchman phones Ambot and gloats about what he’s done and tells Ambot he does not have his own room anymore and he’s been assigned to share a hotel room with 3 guys in their twenties. OK lets call Ambot a spade. No let’s call him an old geezer. No old geezer who can afford their own hotel room and wants their privacy wants to do sharesies with 3 kids in their 20’s who are more interested in partying than attending Spring Leadership. And sharesies means another guy in the bed too because there are only two beds per room. I can understand why some people need to share hotel rooms to save on hotel costs. Not everyone wants or needs to double up.

Ambot is PISSED! He doesn’t want to share a bed with anyone but me! He has no idea how the henchman managed to steal the hotel room away from him when he booked it in his name and used his credit card to guarantee the room. But because the hotels are booked through the WWDB website there must be some way that upline can manipulate their downline’s hotel bookings.

So I’m sitting here listening to Ambot rant about all this bullshit. He must have picked up his ranting skills from sitting in on too many Amway cult meetings run by the sack of shit Platinum!

The longer I listen the more I’m pissed. But I’m more pissed off because I don’t want Ambot driving long distance to Spring Leadership by himself because those two bastards cancelled the day before. I’ve also had it with listening to how the henchman scooped Ambot’s hotel room. I checked the hotel’s web page where hotel reservations can be booked online and there is still availability.

I told Ambot I’m going with him and to phone the henchman and tell him to give back his hotel room. If he doesn’t want to do that then he’s to tell the henchman that I am coming along for the trip and we’ll be booking our own hotel room either in that hotel or somewhere else doesn’t matter to me where we stay. I point out to Ambot that the henchman had to give his credit card number to guarantee the room when he stole it away from Ambot. If no one shows up to use that room the henchman is going to get stuck with the bill for at least one night. What do we care? I’m not really sure how he was able to do that other than the fact that it was a block of WWDB rooms rather than booked directly with the hotel so he may have had some “in” to do this.

Now the henchman joins the pissed off club demanding to know why I’m going to Spring Leadership. Ambot explains to him that I am now the designated co-driver seeing as how everyone else buggered out on  him. The henchman is not happy and to retaliate he tells Ambot the hotel is fully booked. Ambot points out that on their web page the online reservations says they have rooms available.

Now I get worried thinking the henchman might know something I don’t know and I phone the hotel to double check. The clerk tells me they have availability and quotes me a price. I tell him I might have to phone back to book a room. After a few minutes the henchman phones back and tells Ambot he put the hotel room back in his name.

So away we go. Road trip! The only thing that would have made it better was if Ambot wasn’t wasting his time and money at a stupid Amway function.

Amway World Wide Dream Builders Spring Leadership sucks!
