Amway friend died broke I had a friend and his wife who died earlier this year in their 80's - broke. They poured most of their adult life into Amway. He even spent time in Japan recruiting dealers. After their death I found out you can never retire from Amway or you lose your entire network...

Those Taylor ice cream machines used by McDonalds 40 years ago had about 20 parts to clean. I was a Food Microbiologist and one of my duties was testing soft serve ice cream from fast food restaurants for compliance with food safety laws. We tested for coliform bacteria in the samples. In the...
