I appreciate our PEA sellers

I feel this way too. I know that I would feel comfortable asking a fellow Pea directly because there is a certain level of trust we have developed as part of this community.

I respect that people have their side hustles, be it MLM, EBay, Etsy, etc. As a woman, I think it's important to support other women in their endeavors. Having your own business is hard enough but being a woman adds that extra level of difficulty (not because we're women but because of lack of opportunities, support, or faith in us as being just as smart as men in business, etc).

Having said that, I appreciate not having all these side gigs pushed in my face at every turn or post. Thankfully, that doesn't happen around here. With some Peas, we actually have to pry the nature of their business out of them. Lol

I agree. These are well known active members. We are a large extended family here on this board, if someone on our board sells a product that a member uses, why not buy from a family member.

I would not like to see someone join the board for the sole purpose of using the board to market their business. On average we a fairly astute group and it wouldn’t take long to see the member for what they are.

I wish the PEA sellers the best with their businesses.

Me too!
Not just MLM, but all sorts of recommendations on items for purchase, wanted, needed.

One of the things that helped me immensely, was a recommendation for Flexitol Heel Balm on one of the very long ago "favorite things" threads.

Products, advice, a shoulder to cry on, support, someone to laugh with, travel related posts, etc....

I was one of the first 100 original peas on the old board, came over from the jangle,graceful bee(<< correct name?),aol message boards. I've never been a super active poster, but I read almost every day(more than once a day).
It may be cyber space, but this place(and the old twopeas) is my proverbial online tribe. 

As with everything and anything, there are different opinions. That is the ebb and flow of life. 
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and one's own opinion..... doesn't express the opinion of the collective whole.
Life is....To each, their own.

Cryptic! Now we need to know what it is!! 

Sounds interesting!

Don't you remember our mysterious David whats-his-name, the celebrity no one knew? He was in a magazine clipping, but then disappeared from celebrity life! A forever pea mystery! 😂

ETA: David Holmes!!

Thank you It's taken me years to grow my skill.

I have a couple of events coming up in the next couple of months. I am DEFINITELY going to be buying some of your cookies! They are adorable!

I appreciate the sentiment of this post but I will say, many of the examples listed do not exploit women the way some MLMs do, and for this I will use a personal experience with Lularoe that sent thousands of women into financial despair.

So while I agree that supporting each other and sharing links and resources is very welcome by me, some MLMs are dangerous and I would not choose to support them at all, even for a beloved pea.

Still unsolved, but I always chuckle when I get a magazine with him in it.

 Your cookies look AMAZING!!!!! I am in awe.

Just chiming in that I also appreciate those sharing what they sell (as long as they aren't being obnoxious about it). If I'm not interest, I'll just scroll by.
