Bought some Avon cologne Island Vibe - daughter came by (sm)

and tried some.  She was ecstatic.  Said it was the old Malibu Musk I used to buy them from Avon in the early teens.  I can't even remember the name Malibu Musk.  (I do however certainly remember their teen years for other reasons). 

Anyone else tried this or remember the old scent.  Seems like her olfactory memory was really triggered by this one.  She spent a long time chatting about the "old days" over this.

I sold Avon for 20+ years & I loved it when I first started, I had a great number of customers which you do need and periodically would add a few more.. BUT, when I first started you could make some money at it, even living in a small rural area like I live in.. but things are so costly, the books, bags, samples, etc.. gas lately wouldn't be worth it, selling in businesses is great IF you can catch everyone there at the same time, but when I first started if you sold $1000 half was yours.. since then they have raised it (not sure what it is now), but the last I remember it was closer to $1500 before you earned 1/2.. so things keep changing, I quit after I started typing, no time & I would much rather be home..

I made money doing Avon for years, but if you were the only one in your area doing it you might do okay, but I do still order, because I have used their products for so many years, I just can't find nothing I really like better in the stores.. plus they do have great sales on things, I'll not go back to it as of now, but don't want to say never cause that is usually a for sure that you'll eat those words..

Used to have to take 2 Sudafed (the real kind) and one Benadryl per day, then had to go to Allegra D every so often, just to keep ahead of my allergies. If I use the Neti Pot every day, I might have to take one sudafed a week, and we are in the Ohio Valley, which is apparently where all allergists want to live - very profitable for them, ha!

Seriously, i would take it to a deserted island if i had that option.  It's that good.

I don't buy from them online as they only recently (last year or year before) put together the website.  When you order from them, they also send 3 samples too for free.  They also, twice a year, have 20% sales, in March and September.  Name is Scentsational of Huntington, Long Island (NY)

I have a question.  If I fly to Long Island/Islip (Southwest) but really want to get to Jersey City, is there an airport shuttle or bus or something that I could take to Jersey City?  And do you have any idea how much that would cost?  I am not even sure where in Jersey City I need to get, probably a train station.  Local train, not Amtrak, not sure what they call it there, maybe "path" or something like that.

A ballpark idea would be helpful, especially since I am not even sure where I need to get in JC. 

TIA!

ya know how to duck and cover.  I've never been through a major earthquake or a real tsunami yet though.  Hey, there's always time for that.   Cat 

Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?

I bought a convetion oven a year ago and it puked out this past week when I wanted to broil a london broil. I was very disappointed.  Up until then, I used to make cakes and whole BBQ chickens on the rotisseie which all were great, plus the baking/roasting things. I'm hoping I just did something wrong when but I'm afraid I might not have. I also have his SS pots and pans bought a year before that that are still sitting in the box because I found anoter set of pots and pans that were given as a Christma giflt, so I'm using them.

i will be making chicekn again this week rotiserries style so keep your finers crossed for me. Of course, the warranty ran out prior this happening.

local convenience store (Sheetz) sells them in packs of 3 for $1.00.  Love 'em, but nothing beats scraping the pot when it's still warm!!! MMMMMM!!!!

It's an interesting CD and I really like the theory behind it, which has been around forever if you think about it. What I didn't like was all the emphasis on material things, wealth, money, etc.  To me it seemed that was the focus of the CD whereas on the show the panel focused on many other types of issues besides just getting wealthy.

with my husband and I am an IC.  I have never been asked to get a letter from a service stating I would have work for a period of time.  Anyone you contract with, would probably not do that.  They cannot promise you anything.   WE know that.

BUT what I am asked is how long I have been in the business.  That seems to matter the most, as it should.  And when I say *over 32 years*, then there is no problem. 

If you are happy with you mortgage company and have good rates, then just explain to the loan officer how your job works and emphasize that you have been in the business for 6 years.

As an aside - the last mortgage officer knew I was self employed but when we went in with our W-2s and 1099s, he was shocked at my earnings.  He said, *Most of the time, self-employed means no income and a lot of deductions."  Make sure your mortgage company knows you make money at this and are not using it as a tax write off.

Good luck to you!  and congratulations on your new house!
