    This video goes out-of-focus somewhere in the middle and at the time of filming, I didn’t know why. It’s never happened before!
    Upon further investigation, I discovered that Zeke left a bit of spit on the lens when he rubbed his face on the camera earlier in the video 🤦🏼‍♀️
    I BLAME ZEKE. This is the price we pay for cat cameos, I guess 😂 I’ll make sure to wipe my lens off next time and it won’t happen again! Thanks for bearing with me!

    Regarding the 2nd story with Pure Romance and the Bridezilla, my heart went out to these young ladies in the bridal party who felt pressured by a tacky bride. My own daughter had a similar experience with the same kind of tantrum and “if you don’t, you’re OUT of the wedding.” Well, she texted her momma. 😅 I told her that unless this was a “friendship” she thought was valuable to stand up and walk out, and I would repay her for everything she spent on her bridesmaid dress and shoes, and she could do whatever she wanted with it. This brat of a bride had been such of a monster for so long that my baby decided this was her ENOUGH moment. She got up and left, and two other bridesmaids joined her. Best $500 I ever spent, transferring that money to my daughter’s Venmo and knowing that Bridezilla was going to have to scramble for more victi- I mean, bridesmaids. 🥳💪🏼 #mommabear

    I would have wrapped up the glow in the dark condom as the only wedding gift I would give at the wedding. Not in an envelope either. I would wrap it up in a too large box with really pretty wrapping though. Ya know, to make it just as misleading as the party invite. That's how I would feel about that whole situation.

  • @DracoTriste
    @DracoTriste Год назад +302

    Story 3: I really hope nothing like that ever happens to anyone, but if someone shows up at a wake or memorial service who is unwelcome (especially when that someone is so obviously soliciting) you as a family member do not need to engage. Find a staff member for the funeral home/church and tell them to remove the person. The confrontation doesn’t have to fall on you and the unwelcome person doesn’t need to know you asked for them to be removed. That was absolutely unhinged behavior and funeral home staff will protect their grieving families when needed.

    • @Acinnn

      thus reminds me when my aunt died her college ( as she claimed) showed up and inserted herself even into out private dinner we had at home after the funeral. She wasn't "hun" but probably was part of some cult or some weird religion that morfed Christianity with Buddhism, talking about reincarnation of Jesus or some angels. She took the spot lite for the whole time.. talking about all sorts of things. She even went with us when we went place the urn to family grave. Only good thing that she did is that we weren't annoyed by our other aunt that usually tries to dictate to others how they should live their lives.

    • @MarionThiessen

      I am a funeral director, and this is unfortunately common. Families warn us that a certain someone might arrive who is not welcome, and we usually ask for a family member to come get should the person arrive to talk to them and ask them to leave without making it a scene.

      I was diagnosed with PCOS 25 years ago. I cannot urge you strongly enough to see an endocrinologist, not a GYN for treatment. PCOS is rooted in hyperinsulinism. BC pills control the symptoms but not the underlying cause, and are NOT adequate as a treatment. PCOS affects not just fertility, but has an impact on your lifelong health. It's important to treat the root cause.

    Omg, story 2 happened to me (sort of). It was my bachelorette party that a friend of mine had planned for me. I thought we were just getting together for dinner, conversation, and games. When I walked into the house, there was a Pure Romance rep set up in the living room. The rep was a classmate of ours from high school. I had to sit through the presentation while sitting between my mother and my other friend's grandmother. My brother's fiancee was in attendance and would give details on how she would use the products. It was awkward. Completely awkward. At the end of the night, the rep took people into a different room to get their orders and made sure to state that *I* would be getting the hostess credits to pick things out "for the honeymoon". I let the 'friend' who set the party up keep the hostess "benefits". I don't talk to her much anymore. That party was definitely nothing like me or my interests.

    As a fellow content creator, I totally understand the frustration of having a video go out of focus while filming...and what I do isn't easy to be "redone"--it's fiber art. Once it's done, it's not easy to UN-do and start again. I'm actually doing some embroidery right now, listening like a podcast and watching for your kitties out of the corner of my eye. Not sure if you've already had your baby, but I hope it goes well and that you get as much rest as you can in the first couple of weeks. It's rough, but you'll get through it.

    The first story (I think that was the one) about Amway reminded me about when I was in Amway our up line told us if we didn't have more friends and family to prospect then we needed to go find other people and the best way to do that was to meet people at the grocery store. We were told the best wY to get the most out of these "opportunities" was to buy our groceries 2-3 items at a time. That way you could stand in line and talk to more people and collect more phone numbers.

    Omg. For that second one, the bride will have to live with the memory of that Bachelorette party for the rest of her life. Live with knowing how horribly she treated her guests all because she was deceptive about the party in the first place.
    And not to mention, she'll have to live with knowing that the people in her wedding party & photographer she'll never see again as a result. So sad

    Right after my dad died a few years ago, an MLM hun came up to my mom's house, pitching some garbage. He wasn't EVEN IN THE GROUND. Long story short, she flossed up to my mother in the driveway at their house. I saw my mom talking to a woman I didn't recognize, with a weird look on her face. I was so shocked that I couldn't think of a thing to say.

      A smaller-sized tampon on a lighter day would be fine being in for 8 hours. Most people don’t wake up in the middle of the night to change one. I know you’re probably just concerned, but your advice isn’t quite right. 8 hours is about the max suggested, but that is also using the most caution.

Putting undiluted essential oils not only down there, but INSIDE you? That's insane.

    You CAN do these mlm things in a positive way for parties. When my cousin got married my aunt threw his fiancé a pampered chef shower. The invitations were clear what it was and specified to not bring presents as we could pick out things for the bride at the party to order.
    My sister and I pooled some money to get our cousin’s fiancé something nice. The party was fun. The food was great. And I would’ve bought a present for the shower either way.
    But this was actually kinda brilliant as all the points from the party turn into rewards for the bride too and ppl there could also order for themselves if they saw something they liked.
    There was no pressure and it was truly a good time. But it was all up front and made clear. And like I said, you buy presents for showers generally-so it didn’t bother me to do it this way. If that crazy bridezilla just been honest and called it a spicy bridal shower/bachelorette party-they would’ve known what to expect and it could’ve been a fun time.
    But you should NEVER expect someone to order from an mlm party if they don’t want to. That’s ridiculous.

    Oddly, the situation of making a new friend only to find out it was to sell you something and if you don't buy they drop you like a hot potato has happened to me several times but with religion. When we moved to a new neighborhood, our neighbors were the nicest people ever. They even brought over a full sized Cheesecake Factory cheesecake (not cheap!) and said we'd have to get together once we were all moved in. Super nice people. Then she brought over a flier for her mega church. I told her no thank you, we weren't looking for a church, she left and they never spoke to us again. Fifteen years we've been neighbors and they won't even acknowledge me or wave back when I see them in the yard. I wish I could say this was the only time that's happened. It seems some churches operate a lot like mlms.

    Thank you for another wonderful video! If the person who keeps seeing Amway/various MLM huns in the grocery store happens to see this -- most chain stores at least have no soliciting/recruiting policies. On your way out, you can quietly point them out to an employee and they'll probably be asked to leave. I feel like summoning the inner Karen is alright in this situation, since they're actively looking for people to scam.

    As far as Huns approaching people at the store, I actually had an experience that made me so scared and uncomfortable where someone, who obviously wasn't shopping, came up and struck up some very, at worst nosy, at best awkward small-talk with me. I spent months recalling it wondering what her motive had been and whether my family's safety or privacy could be compromised in some way due to that interaction. I just couldn't imagine the angle. Since watching MLM Horror Stories I have realized it might have been an MLM rep doing an awkward job at recruiting. This is honestly a very comforting thought 😅.

This was just the random way that our class ended up. For the dermatology portion of the class, she brought in her entire skincare line. This included a skincare line for the guys. They loved it and were just as into it (even the masks) as we were. Our pic even turned up in the yearbook. That MK hun apparently wasn’t too versed in her product (btw, our teacher didn’t require any of us to buy, but we were welcome to if we wanted to. She was the least pushiest consultant that I have ever met. She never even mentioned that we could buy from her. We asked her if we could and she said that she could get us books if we wanted anything)

    DoTerra Tampon: I gasped and almost cried. I don’t have PCOS but a similar issue that causes severe pain, got on birth control at 17 and never a problem again. I am SO RELIEVED she did not use this oil, and instead did get her BC. But I am frustrated about the wasting of money and then the manipulation of the church members. This serves as a reminder of why we need to be honest in some cases, because the temporary discomfort of being honest about the oils is not worth the longer discomfort of financial hits and harming other women who did use this treatment.
    Of course, this is not to shame the person who wrote in. She was a teen who was manipulated, and she feels bad already. This is just a reminder for anyone else!
