About Me

I am an IBO in Amway Global (what used to be called an “Amway distributor”) living in a complicated household with two cats who are solving their territorial disputes by literally having a pissing contest, so I know the value of good cleaning products. 

My parents had an Amway distributorship for a few years when I was growing up. The experience of being a little kid, having Amway products in the house and going to Amway conventions, product pick-ups, and other Amway-related events in the 1970s-early 1980s definitely influenced me.  At an Amway convention where there was a lot of enthusiasm in the air, I caught the “bug” myself. When people were talking up Amway, I said “I want to be an Amway distributor when I grow up!”  (More about my childhood experiences with Amway in other places and postings on this website.) 

I engaged in a LOT of soul-searching before accepting an Amway distributorship a couple of years ago from my mother’s cousin, who is my upline. While I like and use a lot of Amway products, I don’t necessarily agree with the religious-political agenda some of the corporation’s top people support, and at least _some_ of the stories concerning corruption, religious agendas, etc. in other lines of sponsorship are true.  I signed on the signature line because as far as general corporate heinousity goes, Amway is no worse than a lot of other corporations, many of whom have done far worse things to the environment, moved significant numbers of jobs overseas, etc.  Amway does at least provide jobs for Americans and is the ONLY way you can get Tri-Zyme, the laundry pre-soak with enzymes that obliterate biologically-based stains and make whites white.  The superheroine that you see on this website flying above the city is Tri-Zyme Girl…who is unafraid to wear white.  Women of child-bearing age, you know what I’m talking about. Tri-Zyme gets _those_ stains out of your good lingerie and saves you money and frustration!
