I've done a few surveys over the last few days, and was wondering if this kind of thing is really worth my time.

There were both secular and christian surveys done and they
all came out to be about the same result. Next, you'll ask me for proof. When I have a few spare minutes I'll try to find the links. In the meantime, you can search the net and likely find them.
Globe TestMarket Surveys - is it worth the time? sm
I am thinking about signing up online to do Globe TestMarket Surveys to make some extra money....but was wondering if anyone has done this and if it is worth the time? Thanks
cash cab
Anyone out there enjoy The Cash Cab on the Discovery channel featuring Ben Bailey?....Just found this and I'm an avid armchair player...I'd probably freeze-up in the cab.

cash cab
I caught that several months ago and liked it, but could never find when it came back on - when is it? thanks, I'll look forward to watching it, there's such junk on T.V.now I can't stand to watch!
I would not cash it out. If he wants it so -sm
bad let him cash out one of his, but you will have to pay penalties for early withdrawal as well as taxes on the money. Go get a car loan at one of those dinky used car lots, we have something called DriveTime here that says "everyone" gets approved. Plenty of people trying to sell cars and make a sale, just get a loan and keep your money in the bank. My husband insisted we get rid of my Suburban this April (of course then gas plummetted) though it still ran good at 230K miles, had some cosmetic issues inside and a few dinky problems but ran great (had no engine issues). His parents insisted on loaning us the money though we were just going to get a car loan. So we borrowed $14K, got a 2004 Trailblazer at Carmax with 42K miles, and had been paying them back at $650 or so a month when they "forgave" us the balance of the loan ($10K) as a Christmas gift (they gave my BIL $10K a few years ago for his house downpayment, guess they wanted to even things out). Granted not everyone's parents or in-laws can act as a bank, but if your's can you can always ask for a loan (and put it in writing if necessary--we did not as they knew it would not be an issue). My in-laws are very tight with their money so it was a complete surprise for us, and obviously greatly appreciated. We have had a lot of bad karma lately so I think they were just trying to be helpful, that and even things out between the brothers.
We used mostly cash
I think I may have used credit just once for something that was more expensive. We did try to spend less than usual this year.
I used cash.....nm
ss
cash only
We used cash only and spent a little more this year as we bought little gifts for everyone. Dh has a PT job making deliveries and he got tips at Christmas time that more than covered Christmas.
You should be able to cash the check at...
their bank as long as you have ID. They don't have to tell you if there is money there; if they can't cash it, you'll know. If not I'd go in tomorrow or Friday. Good luck
times for cash cab
6 pm and 6:30 pm EST and Cash Cab After Dark at 11 pm EST on Discovery Channel....Enjoy the game!
If there's ever a Cash Cab marathon...
I'm callin' in sick!!!
My daughter (21) and I play along and we complement each other's knowledge very well (baby boomer vs college-educated LOL) and we would SO be rich!! I think if we happened to get lucky enough to catch the Cash Cab, we'd say...Take us to Boston!!! haha!
... but I think Ben is a little scary ;-)
you can't go wrong with cash! nm
Try to catch a ride on the Cash Cab.

Don't use them myself, but my MIL uses her Discover for the cash back. nm

Well, for one thing, Cash Cab in a mini-van, not a car.
asdf
We, too used cash this year as we have for about the last 10 years . . .
glad, too, because the work load always crashes right after the holidays for a few weeks and at least I don't have that extra headache right now . . .
We paid cash, spent about
$1000 total for grandkids and gifts for each other. We are debt free except our house. There is nothing like being able to sleep well at night and not be afraid to answer the phone should it ring. We have lived this way for many years, have learned to save money, pay cash for what we want. This has been to our benefit as we haven't had our CC companies drop our limits or increase our percentage rates at all; in fact, our limits keep rising even though we only use them once or twice a year. The thought of having to pay for something many months and years later is baffling to me.
This is my way of making some cash on the side...sm
I can sew and I love making cute crafty things. So this is a purse I made. I put it on ebay. We'll see if it sells. Give me ya'lls opinion please.
I hope you have a receipt for the cash - sm
she may be nuts enough to take you to small claims court over the $300 saying you were quoted X dollars and did not pay her husband. Though he might have to be the one to actually bring the lawsuit since he did the work, though she might talk him into it. I also hope you had a written contract as well in place, always pays to cover your butt in these situations. She is obviously desperate for cash (is she not eligible for unemployement?) or having contractor remorse for hiring out her hubby and thinks he short-changed himself and that you took advantage. ----- When I first started reading this I thought it would be, oh I hired a friend's husband, he did a lousy job, we don't want to pay him....that sort of thing. Glad it was not that, seems like you we happy with the work, paid for it as agreed and that was it, then the wife/friend got involved. My DH is not one to haggle or overcharge for anything, gives away his help on big things, and it drives me nuts, so I normally handle that sort of stuff though it is rare for us. We do a lot of bartering on my road, you scratch my back, I will scratch yours sort of thing, from helping start cars to fixing TVs (my DH has saved our one neighbor mucho $ fixing their TV a couple of times). If we cannot repay the favor we either pay in cash or beer, though not so much in beer anymore as the one couple we do this the most, his wife wants cash though the husband is the one doing the work, so to not make waves we usually give him cash depending on what he did for us. He will do car work for me when I cannot get my DH to do it, I pay him for that. But little stuff like moving something we trade favors on. ----I hope she does not become a huge problem for you.
I would give $100 cash and leave it at that- sm
if you can afford a little more and think $100 is too cheap than do so--I certainly would not go over $300 though. If you don't want to do cash then give a gift card to a store you know they like. I think it is ridiculous for a kid (or parent) to expect a gift for graduation. I would just send a nice card. Kids (and some adults) are way too entitled these days and expect everything just given to them. If you do end up buying something engraved make sure is is something that will actually get used and not tossed out by the kid. They might use a keyring for that nice new car he/she has.
best cash-back credit card?
We've been using the GM card to get new cars for less, but i'm open to a different card that rewards general purchases, food, gas, apparel etc, with cash back. Any recommendations? thanks!
I have been doing WW online (sm)
You can get a one-week free trial and then it's $65 for a three-month membership, and then something like $16 a month after that. It lets you plug in all your food for points values and calculates everything for you. So far it's working for me, even though I had a little setback, but that was my own indiscretion.
As far as goodies, I LOVE them too, and I have found lots of sugar-free and low carb substitutes such as sugar free ice cream and sugar free soda. They have really come a long way since the old Nutra-Sweet days and these things are truly satisfying now. My husband loves Kool-Aid and he has been making it with Splenda for a long time now, and my kids love it too, and I love the fact they are getting less sugar.
Anyway, WW is a really good program. In fact, one of my docs I transcribe for consistently recommends it to his overweight patients. I personally know several people who have been successful with it. Hopefully I will too, and if you choose to go back on it, best of luck to you!
P.S. Your hubby might actually enjoy the sugar-free, lowfat treats as well, who knows?
online
I have bought bras online from Big Girl Bras and Figleaves. You think a 40C is big? Try a 36H! Not fun.
I can buy these online sm
I viewed the ad online at walmart.com and when I clicked on a particular item it said that it would be available in the store and online on Friday. Yeahhh!!!!
Book online if you can...
And save your confirmation and payment receipt with your tickets. You should receive confirmation in your cabin at least 24 hours before your first shore excursion. If you don't, check with the Purser's office or the shore excursion desk.
I have traveled on Carnivel three times, most recently last month. I much prefer booking tours online instead of standing in line, and that eliminates finding out your tour is booked up once you get to the desk. Online will tell you immediately if the tour you want, at the time you've chosen, is full or not.
Hope this helps and that you have a great time. I love cruising!
Do your shopping online.
I've been doing all my Xmas shopping online for 6 years now. Way better than dealing with the crowds at malls and stores.
Online dating... Have you tried it?
I'm thinking about trying this. What are your experiences? Which ones are the best dating sites? Thanks!
Online dating
Yes, found my husband on Match.Com, dated two years and have been married for 1 1/2 years now. I was very lucky to have found a good honest man. We are in our sixties.
I am an online subscriber...sm
so I can use all the etools, like the point tracker and the recipe builder. You can use the community area without charge, which include the message boards and I frequent them a lot - sometimes for support and sometimes just to chat about things.
ONLINE SCHOOL
Here where we live for the past two years they have had online high school. I don't know anyone who goes, but it sounds like a good alternative. When my kids (all grown up now) were in Catholic school I reduced the tuition by working there for free three days a week. Could you work something out?
There are courses online - sm
I was curious about it for awhile too and almost signed up for one of the courses. We live fairly rural and I know there are three people in our county who do property appraisals. None of them work full time at it because there is just not enough business. If you live in a larger populated area, it might be worth it for you.
Good luck.
ooh I just asked you this below.....both online!!
at the same time :)
Thanks...I looked up online and what I did was sm
picked it up in a very soft cloth and just looked to make sure it didn't look injured. There was no blood but I am not sure. I took the blanket and put it as close as I could guess where the nest might be. I will check later to see if it is still there. What I read says that the mom's come back once a night to feed the babies and to try to put them back in the nest if possible and that she will call them all when she comes to the nest, so hopefully we didn't miss that window and the little girl or guy can be snuggling with mom and brothers and sisters soon. I feel so bad for the poor thing :(
Do any on you pay your bills online?
I've been doing it for a couple of years now and I love it. Sure saves on the ever increasing postage.
I pay just about all of my bills online
And for the same reasoning the cost of postage and I'm usually too lazy to go to the post office to get stamps.

Does anyone here have an online store for their
beading jewelry? I am interested in taking a peek if you bead on the side of MT'ing... I love the jewelry but don't quite have the patience... 
Turbo Tax online
I just did my taxes last week on TurboTax online and got the refund already. It was very convenient, but I wish I had known that in advance. I definitely would not have used them. All companies should have to say where they are and who they are. USA!!
why don't you search online? Look also into
other countries' recipes?
Anyone ever buy swim wear online?
I'm having a heck of a time finding a bathing suit anywhere locally (Wisconsin). The only place I see them are online, and I'm a bit hesitant about purchasing because it's a hassle returning, etc. Any suggestions? Goin' on a cruise in December. Thanks for your suggestions.
You may only be able to find them online or by catalog right now.
I find I always need one size larger than I wear in clothes. I just remembered that a store called Newport News always has tons of bathing suits and there is a website but not sure how they are with returns.

May be worth checking them out.
ya probably could find his picture online
Has anyone ever used online resoureces to help with grief? sm
I am having a lot of issues regarding the passing of my mom. It will be a year this fall and it still seems like it was just yesterday. She was not only my mom, but my best friend. I feel like it was a double whammy. She passed suddenly, so there was no preparing...not that you really can prepare. Anyway, I have had people tell me it is time to move on and I should snap out of it. I keep it together for my kids and try to make their days fun and enjoyable, but all I do is think about my mom and when alone I cry for her and the pain I feel. I would like to look for some type of help regarding greif and dealing with it. Has anyone ever used online help to deal with greif? Thanks.
Yes, i thought of this too. They have an online application
a person can download. If they contact me for an interview, great, if not I won't be any better or worse off than when I started.
Ladies, can you buy Viagra online?
My mum plant aren't doing well around the flag pole. Can you buy Viagra online?

..
no, but online CalorieKing.com worked for me
and i didn't have to change what i eat; no special food to buy. it is $55 a year and has been well worth it. I've averaged 1-2 lbs a week weight loss.
My DS buy material online for her company. Just
