$75 would be a bargain here - mine cost $250! - sm

In Reply to: Kitty - slow typer

But it was done in the pet hospital, which sits on some pricey real-estate right in the middle of town. STILL... considering the total bill came to over $5,000 --- you would think they could at least cough up the euthanasia for free.

Anyway, that was a year ago and I'm STILL paying it off.

So $200 is a bargain wouldn't you think?
I am an independent woman and I don't care what age I am, I am not going to ask anyone for help unless I absolutely need it. If they say no, then I am not going to hold a grudge. If you are an adult, you can take care of yourself. Don't rely on other people your whole life. Too many people in this world think everyone owes them something. Yes, and people have their own lives.
I bargain hunt for clearance items

and resell them on ebay for a small profit.  I also go to estate sales to find used hard to find stuff and resell on ebay.  I usually stock pile the stuff I know are good sellers and sell them around Thanksgiving time and before Christmas. I made just over $400 last Christmas. It was a very nice amount and made our Christmas very nice. I also have an online store on ioffer.com that I sell some of the stuff.


Cost about $750 my cost, with insurance.

You know it does not cost too much
to have your hearing checked. That probably would be a good idea for you.
And cost wise?
Read all the above and thanks so much. Now in the midst of trying to get my yard in shape after the grubs set in and do not want to spend an arm and a leg on flooring. Thanks again.
Cost wise?
Heard sodding expensive.
Cost of fence??
Hi. My husband and I are getting ready to buy our first house and would like to know the approximate cost of getting a 6 ft privacy fence. We have absolutely no idea how much something like this costs :) Our new backyard is 85 x 110. I know the cost can vary, but can you please just give us an estimate if we had someone build it and also if we just bought the supplies and did it ourselves? Thanks for any info! 
cost of fence
My hubby is a carpenter as is son. They buy their supplies for fencing through Home Depot or Lowe's or any building supply. I would go on line and Google fences, how to build and that should bring up some sites for building a fence, as to what supplies wood versus vinyl. The cost depends on where you live, as some areas are more expensive than others. I know you can buy directions on web sites on line, as I just ordered a design for a pergola my son is going to build for my daughter. You have to measure where your fence will be, then go to a store or on line. There should be someone at Home Depot or Lowe's or lumbar supply place who can help you. Also, having a company install a fence is much more expensive than doing it yourself. I know this well as my husband and son have put up a few fences. Hope this helps.
yeah, but she did not like the $400 cost with those..nm

$20,000 is less than most cars cost

You should have no problem getting a home loan for that amount ANYWHERE. They will probably try to jack up the interest rate because of your bad credit score, but don't let them. Bargain with them and if they won't deal, tell them you'll go to the bank next door. Get them down to 6.5% or less if you can.


Good luck!


$9K??? love to know what they did that cost - sm
that much, holy cow! As for handing the bill to you, that is really odd, I have never heard of that. The bills always go to the insurance company, unless they do not have insurance then I can see it being handed to you as you could give a bogus address, etc, but you can still just not pay the bill. Still $1800 an hour for treatment, crazy. I think the births of my kids were less than that and I was in for 4 days with one and 1.5 with the other. No wonder insurance is so high!
hair cost sm
I was told years ago that the markup is ridiculous by someone who took a beautician course.. I found a good girl, shopped around, could not believe what WALMART (just stopped by to qestion in person) is charging for simple highlights and cut, even the local Regis Salons which also includes Supercuts, etc., are getting a hundred bucks or more. So what I did was establish an agreement with a girl who rents space nearby and she is excellent. She has been charging me $65 for color, cut and blow dry and style. So today I gave her a very generous Christmas tip and she tried to give it back to me. I told her I so appreciated what she does for me all year and she started to cry and gave me a hug. I told her I was aware of what others charged and I knew she gave me a break all year. Everyone won, nobody lost. Shop around, the markup is ridiculous. Corporate wins, not the stylist (much like our profession). Just find someone you can trust and develop a relationship with and give them a little extra once in awhile. I am very glad I did this,I had a great day and I feel wonderful and so does my stylist. It can be done, be an educated consumer. Don't fall for the high prices, what costs them a few bucks turns into literally hundreds when it comes to highlight or color and cut! Shop around.
cost of hair
In defense of the cosmetology profession, I have to add that one never knows how much money and time the big stylists put into their business. My oldest son spends $10,000.00 a month in overhead, salaries, rent, seminars, etc. He stays current on everything, is a certified colorist, etc. They earn every penny they get - I had no idea until he filled me in. By the way, he lives too far away to make it worth my while to go get a haircut every 5 weeks, so I still go to local girl. $12.00 - she is way too cheap. Please don't bash them if you do not know the inside of the business. Anyway, Merry Christmas! Everyone tip your stylist - if it is a man, bake him something - he'll love you forever!!
The cost of Nutrisystem
is fairly reasonable in my eyes.  However, I am financially able to stay on it, where I know there are others who cannot.  It costs approximately $270.00 a month, and then you still have to buy your veggies, dairy products, and fruits.  It is based on the glycemic index, where you eat good carbs.  Most of the time I do not have a problem with being really hungry; however, there are times when I am.  I am going to be 50 years old and have undergone a partial hysterectomy but I wonder if I still do not have some PMS symptoms and this is when I am the most hungry.  I read up on Curvelle and it sounds pretty safe and it appears to work.  I read some of the testimonies, etc.  I might try it and see how it works. 
The cost of groceries - WOW!!
I nearly had a stroke at the register today.  Eggs here in AL are, get this, $3.49 where I am, but you can get 50 cents off by being a store member, which I am.  That is still 2.99 a dozen - good grief!  Sweet potatoes were $2.51 a pound, outrageous!  Normally I do not look a whole lot at prices and just buy what I like, but these prices are even making me look!  Gas just went up to $3.35 a gallon here.  They are saying $4.00 by summer. 
During her interview, it was said it cost...sm
100k total for all the in vitro procedures.  I have not heard an answer as to how she paid for all this.  Does any one know? 
I wish my house had cost that, or
I consider that I got a deal on my house, but it was not that kind of a deal, and I did not buy it at an auction. Although the value of my home has decreased due to the current housing market in my region, it is still valued at more than I paid for it. It was a good investment for me.

I simply worked (a lot) and sacrificed in other areas so I could pay off my house. That was my goal, and I am glad I was able to achieve it.

I do not flip houses. I have friends who do, and I have worked for them and/or with them on some projects. Working with experienced renovators is a great way to learn how to do home repairs and a painless way to figure out what you will be able to do yourself and what to let the experts handle. Of course, it does not hurt to know the experts in question if you ever get in a bind.

the cost to see thru the eyes of love....
God bless him is all i can say. 
Cost is approximately $300.00 for series.

How much does it cost you for TV, Internet and Phone
I'm around $190.00 ;-(

No cell phones please...

Oh and who do we have.

Phone: Verizon
Internet: CableVision

You're more concerned about how much it cost

Were you unaware of cost before she applied?

Except that with what things will cost, on an MT's wages, - sm
we won't be able to afford to buy ANYTHING at the market, even if we could get there.

Meanwhile, the US is working on sending men to Mars while our whole infrastructure is crumbling. Sure hope the economy is better up there.
So correct....*Free* always comes with a cost....

If everyone who wants this fabulous free healthcare would just do a little research they would find out it is not such a great thing. We have several friends in Canada who hate the healthcare system. Canada faces a shortage of docs because they come to the US for better training and the potential for more money and practice here instead. People, do your research, don't believe everything you hear from someone who just wants your vote.


dogs still cost money...
First im sorry about your dog! I adopted both my pups... like someone mentioned below, found them on petfinder.com actually! Now I have been away from them for a few months (they are staying home with family while i moved for a few months) and i am SOOOO lonely. i seriously have crying spells i miss them so much (that sounds so dumb to some people, but they truly are like my kids)...

My headline is just simply put because you said you didnt have a lot of money to get another dog... as you know dogs still cost money, not just the fee to adopt them or buy them (please adopt!).... you obviously know this as you've had one, just wanted to make sure!

Good luck in your search it sounds like you will be a great mommy!

Cost of tooth extraction
How much does a tooth extraction cost?  I have no dental insurance so will be paying out of pocket.  I am pregnant and since being pregnant this toothache has gotten worse and worse.  I am to the point now that I can't take the pain anymore.  Also does anyone know if you call a dentist and tell them you are in pain if they will work you in asap?  Thanks.....I just never knew that a toothache would be so painful.
wire transfers cost $$

I'd hold off on the wire transfer - they typically charge $25 per transfer for that.


Depending on your bank, they may have an option to add an account that is from an outside institution so you can transfer back and forth.  I had an account with Bank of American before they finally horked me off for good, and I was able to add my account with the credit union.  It was a $3.00 fee to transfer in between banks, and it took about 3 days, but it's cheaper than a wire transfer (unless your bank offers an option to do those for free.)  I was able to set everything up using the online banking system.  It took a couple of days for the set up because they have to verify the new account, but it was worth it.  Before I dumped them, anyway.


 


I agree that a gift should come from the heart and cost
shouldn't matter. However, to me, a gift is not what YOU want to buy, it should be what the other person would want to receive (within your budget, of course). Somebody else might not like what I want to buy.
I think that is doable, but like the others i doubt you will find someone willing with the cost of g
The gas alone will cost her probably that much and when you deduct that from the $15 a trip it would hardly be worth her time unless she was desperate. Maybe any teenagers around that wouldn't mind doing that before/after school? I used to clean and I would not waste my time for $15 a day minus gas prices.
Have to agree. Most people know cost of that school and it is

Personally, I would let it ride. Cost a man his job and reputation for a lifetime over this?
And unless you like to see your husband upset, I'd not say anything to him if I were you.

I learned at about the age of 20 how to give a look that made people shudder when they offended me. That is enough for me in situations like this which I consider a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in the sexual harrassment department.

Do you realize the resulting damage you will do if you take a 2 second event into discussion with white shirts?
Not talking insurance, just basic care and the cost for that.

one week out of the year? I'm not young. What if I only have 10 years left? Or less?
Filled up the Bounder for our first trip last week. It cost $897.52.
We will probably camping longer and routing very cautiously this year. No more spur-of-moment long-distance trips.
It's awful! I used to live in NY. Avoid it at all cost on Black Friday!

Does anyone know where to get clothes for American girl dolls that doesnt cost a lot? nm


Credit Card Reform Can Cost Good Card Users

Part of article:

Credit cards have long been a very good deal for people who pay their bills on time and in full. Even as card companies imposed punitive fees and penalties on those late with their payments, the best customers racked up cash-back rewards, frequent-flier miles and other perks in recent years.


Now Congress is moving to limit the penalties on riskier borrowers, who have become a prime source of billions of dollars in fee revenue for the industry. And to make up for lost income, the card companies are going after those people with sterling credit.

We pay off our balance every month. If they do this (punish those who have sterling credit) Ridiculous!! I'll stop using my CC and pay by cash or check.

So much for reform.


Don't know about your God, but mine
my God is more forgiving than that!

She is not doing anyone any harm, so to say she will burn in h*** for celebrating the fun part of Halloween, not evilness, is the whole reason I do not attend church!

I never did it with mine. For one, I would have been
too embarrassed. My mother used to do it, but we have come a long way since then. I find it kind of primitive. I think nothing is wrong with it in your own home, but in public, I really think you should think about it. There are all kinds of weirdos out there and you just don't know what is in their minds. I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding INSIDE YOUR HOME, but there are folks who would get offended by doing it in public. I would not be offended, but really...I think you could put some of that breast milk in a bottle before you go out.
Mine is up

and FAKE -- Me and my fam are all allergic!


Have red/white/blue/silver these.  Looks awesome.  Have lights up outside too!!!!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!



Mine would be...
Laxatives
Laytex gloves
a metal detector

mine too
have to light a fire under his butt in an attempt to get him out of the house.
Mine did nothing at all, at least he went out and tried - sm
more than my DH did, though mine did ask me what I wanted, I told him, he told me to go buy it. This is typical for him. He used to get me beautiful jewelry for b-day, Christmas, annivarsary, that lasted for about 2 years or so, then it has been buy yourself what you want. I do not get bent (what is the point) though a little effort on his part would be nice. He did surprise me on our 10-year anniversary though this year, got me a beautiful opal necklace. As for the kids, my one daughter gave me 2 things, my other nothing, but she gives me wonderful drawings and such all the time, she just has a selfish streak I guess and does not think of others only herself. I just talked to her about this, maybe in the future she will remember our little talk and some good will come from it. My DH needs to learn somehow to have the kids get things for mom on special occasions, yours does too it seems. My neighbor has the same problem with her husband. Basically they are lazy people. He does none of the shopping, gift wrapping, packing to leave (except for his stuff of course), etc. He did buy 1 or 2 gifts, which I of course wrapped. This will probably never change until the kids are gone and he is an old man. I have seen it happen but not until grandchildren are on the scene and these men become model husbands for some reason, whether it is out of boredom or fear of the wife finally saying "I'm out of here, go fend for yourself", or they get struck my lightening, who knows, but beating yourself up about it is not the answer. If you are truly unhappy, get out, or kick him out. But if this is his "flaw" then either live with it, and buy yourself what you want each year or do something about it. It is your call how you deal with it.
mine went away
I had one on my nose for about a year and all of a sudden it just vanished and has never come back. It always bothered me because it was so ugly, but it never hurt and I didn't have to pay to zap it.
Two of mine have had and he will run
fever if he does not drink or eat the popsickles and get sicker. You probably know but you can cool him down with tepid water, try that. You will really have to keep up with you have to drink or eat cool, cold so he will not run that fever.
Yes, mine are
never and I mean never tempt fate. i could never say I was sick or someone else sick say if I wanted to be off from work, no, no, might come true. I have to knock on wood when I say something that is an iffy thing, don’t want to jink.
LOL, I had mine do just that
I gave him a testing tape. It took him hours to get through a page, typing with two fingers, with everything lumped together in one big paragraph, headings and all. Not to mention all the mistakes. lol He now says he has no idea how I do this. I told him I don't know either. : )
LOL! Mine does that too!
And I love how they can never puke/cough up hairballs on the tile, they always have to find a carpeted area (which stains). They can be in the middle of the tile kitchen and find the only rug!
Mine do that too! LOL!
I have tiles in my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, yet they decide to leave me presents in the living room or bedrooms where it is carpeted! I own a steam cleaner just for that purpose! LOL!
