We just got a Garmin Nuvi 350
We're headed for the beach this week. My husband and I are both directionally challenged. We always seem to get lost. We haven't tried out yet en route, but we did turn it on and went out on the porch and it told us exactly where we were at - right out of the box! We also looked up local stuff on it and it was very accurate.
We got it from QVC, that way we have 30 days to try it out. If we don't like it, all we pay is the shipping to send it back. Can't beat that! We ordered it the other week when everything was on easy pay for 5 payments. The total cost (shipping and a dash mount) was $305.00 After reading the reviews, we opted to get the "bean bag" dash mount, so we could put it in either vehicle.
i'm pretty sure it was a garmin my
daughter just said her boyfriend got -- that it will TELL you which way and when to turn, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Sounds pretty good!
DH has Garmin mobile on his cell phone - sm
In my opinion, this is the best service he has ever gotten. We had the Garmin on going through Atlanta at 7:30 a.m. (traffic nightmare), and the Garmin got us through in record time by avoiding the crowded areas. It took us a little while to figure out the lady's voice was saying "follow route" and not "turn around" and to figure out she was saying "recalculating" when we over-shot our exits (which is really great about this service...it follows you around and corrects when you screw up).

Also, if there is a really popular item you want...sm
you could map out the store. Saw this on the news once where a lady and her husband drew out a map and each aimed for a specific department/item. It was pretty comical, but efficient when you think about it. As for opening times, the ads will let you know. Anyway, good luck!

I know it's popular, but don't put unsecured debt on your home.
No way, never ever do that. It's a huge mistake, you could end up losing your home. The risk is too great.
Me, too. I never agree with popular opinion. Same with best-selling books and/or TV shows. nm

what model do you have?
ty for ur response!
Role model
I just found a copy of an assignment my daughter had to do for her health class. She had to right a letter to her role model. She wrote it to her Dad. She has always been a "Daddy's girl". I am just so proud of her for not picking some id!ot hollywood brat. She just turned 15 and I can see that she really has a good head on her shoulders. She even mentioned things about they way her dad treats his mother and what a good example he is showing her on how to treat parents and grandparent. He is out of town right now but I really hope she decides to share this with him. Just had to brag a little. 
Oh and the model is my niece....sm
But she is like my own. I have kept her a lot since she was 5 weeks old. Sis-in-law is single and when she would date I would keep her. The child's dad is a loser. He walked away when sis-in-law got pregnant and hasn't seen Addie since she was an infant and doesn't want to even though he lives a few miles away. So I say she is better off without him.
Book of movie passes? Gift card to a popular restaurant? Ice or roller skating

A role model on what planet.
That's ridiculous.
When interviewing the "man on the street," our local channels seem to go out of their way to find unusually unsophistocated and uneducated people to interview, preferably looking like they haven't bathed in a month or seen a dentist in a quarter of a century.
This site talks about that model.

It's the same business model as Amway
I've talked to Melaleuca people before. It's the exact same business model as Amway or any other home based business. Yes, you make some profit from selling the product itself, but your real profit is from signing other people up to do it. It's multi level marketing, which is absolutely legal..
If you're good at approaching people you don't know about buying something, then it might be good for you. Don't do into it thinking you'll sell to your friends and family and build a business from there. I've tried that with another product (one that my friends and family loved, so it wasn't like I had to work to convince them about the produt itself).
If you decide you want to do it, go for it. Be aggressive and treat it like you would any other business. You have to work it and it will take a while to be profitable. It won't happen over night.
If you decide you don't want to do it, be very, very, VERY clear to the guy. They are very persistent, borderline aggressive in trying to get you to do this. They do not hear the word no. It's not in their best interest to hear that word. Take note of his tactics and think about whether you could apply the same things to other people. If you can, go for it.
As others have said, it's a network marketing (MLM) model like the others, but also -- sm
...generally, the only folks who make decent money in an MLM or network marketing scheme are those who get in on the ground floor, or very near the start. This particular company has been around for so many years that I'm doubtful there's much money to be made at this point (except for your distant upline) unless you are REALLY the salesman type.
If you want to act as a distributor without the pressure or need to convert others into distributors, as well, you could look into something like Vitamin Power (and others), which don't require all of that nonsense. You simply sign on to be a distributor then get the product at wholesale prices, which you in turn then sell to others at a markup. In fact, you don't even need to maintain an inventory, as they'll drop-ship for you. (Case in point, though I'm a distributor for them, I would get absolutely NOTHING for bringing you into the business, and I'm certainly not trying to do that here, as you can sign up with them, or a similar company, on your own.) In any case, I'd suggest avoiding multi-level marketing schemes altogether.
she wouldn't be a role model if more of you would explain

Well, I was not on a teen-role model, not in the public eye
no one was looking to me and I got myself into trouble and had more sense than to know I wanted to nor could I raise a child at my age(by the way, not 16, older). I assumed responsibility because I took care of things, did not regret then nor now and never have. She, from what I hear, did not tell her mother until well past the time she could have gotten an abortion, sounds like she wanted to be pregnant. I have absolutely no regrets about things I have done in the past.
1. SILs want you to divorce; don't; 2. Bad role model for your kids.
I would not let my kids go with them without me. I would not allow my husband to not stick up for me. I would not go near these people as much as possible. Live your life with your children. Not sure what to think about your man.
I chose not to
Recently, my teenage son got up from the computer and left his IM window open. On it, he has referred to my husband, his father as "Hitler." I chose to keep this to myself.
However, I wonder if you telling your dh that your child considers him a yeller, if that would change something.
Also, if he is in constant pain, that probably has a TON to do with dh's attitude.

Yes, I chose to have everything taken out due to the risks
involved of leaving the ovaries in. I was actually pregnant at the time of this discovery and elected to continue the pregnancy (against medical advice) and had the surgery done afterwards.
But he mom chose to dismiss it, and the dad did his best.

I had it done, chose the string..sm
method - I don't agree that they will fall off with no pain - I DID have pain, and continued bleeding to the point that I had to wear a band-aid for over a week. And yes, mine did grow back - although it's not nearly as large as it was before I had it removed. If I do have to repeat the removal, I think I'll go with snipping it off!
I chose to buy. I was in a position to be able
to put enough down on the home so that my mortgage is actually less than most rentals around here.
I would recommend you buy if you plan on staying in that area because the rates are so great right now. You are likely to be able to grab a great deal on a house. If your credit is good, don't put as much down for a deposit and sock it away for emergencies. Good luck to you!
NOT all CHOSE to be here! and they are trying to do their best to acclimate!..nm

I try to pick and chose- sm
in the Fall I usually have 4 going on at various times. Nuts for GS, candles for dance, flags/magazines for school and frozen cookied dough for school...the two school ones do not overlap but are only a few weeks apart from each other. The nuts and candles overlap the school ones though. Obviously I try not to bug my neighbors too much. We hit everyone up for GS, but for dance I just make a donation, and school we may ask a few people on the flag/magazine one, the cookied dough one I don't bother anyone, it is gross, and I still have stuff in my freezer from 2007 (which I have to chuck). Kids just brought home another one a few days ago for St. Judes (from school). I give to our local Children's Hospital and Make-A-Wish, and ASK (raises funds for MCV's Pediatric Oncology Dept.)so St. Jude's is out of luck there. I just do cash donations now if I want to donate that is, otherwise I do not go to the trouble to bother every soul I know to buy something, and never ask family except for the grandparents.
why I chose a Ford
This website is excellent. Most people are happy with their cars for the first couple of years, but then the lemons start to surface...

We went out together and I chose mine - and love it
your boyfriend sounds very immature. Good Luck!
My first husband chose that life
not because he was broke, hungry or the like. He came from a well to do family, had home but just wanted to live that kind of life. Stayed out there for years because he wanted to. I do not hand out money to beggars along the roads. Ask them to come and work for you (even though holding up a sign saying they will work for money) and see how many offers you get. I can flip how many burgers not to be another out there- probably a heck of a lot.
Exactly! Poster chose to put those 4 sentences

I'm also disappointed that you chose this route.
It seemed obvious that you didn't want the paddling to happen, but you caved and let someone else (school and daughter) make the decision.
Whether one is for or against corporal punishment isn't even the issue for me. The bigger thing with me is the thought that some adult getting may be getting his/her thrills from paddling a teenage girl.
oh, it occurred to her, she chose to ignore it...
and these people had to pay $7000 income tax on these vehicles so most of them sold the vehicles instead. However, giving a car isn't as bad as a plasma TV in my mind for the homeless because at least they could sleep in the car(s)......cellphones and plasmas for the homeless made no sense whatsoever to me.
You chose assistance rather than working, right?
Says a lot for you.
Both of my children were out of high school when I chose this
job to be able to stay at home and work. I still wanted to be there for them and for my husband. I take great pride in my work and do a great job. Just because I chose a job that provided the "benefits" that I wanted does not make me unprofessional. A lot of people chose their professions based on the benefits that profession offers, but it doesn't make them a bit less professional. So, TM, I'm with you on this one. I chose this job to be able to stay at home and I'm not the least bit ashamed to tell anybody that's my reason. 
My mother chose my stepfather over her kids
I have been in the same situation for the last 20 years. My mother figures she only sees us once in a while, so she would rather not be alone the rest of the time. I know how much it hurts to not feel welcome in your mother's house. It shouldn't be that way.
glad you chose to hand quilt...sm
I've always felt that machine quilting was cheating...I like nana's idea of the yarn ties...that was the first one my grandma taught me how to do. Mommy also quilted and we'd hit the quilt shows where you have to wear white gloves before touching any quilt.
Recently went to the Museum of the American Quilter's Society in Paducah, KY (couldn't touch....it took all my willpower, believe you me).....The unique artistry and craftsmanship of each piece was breathtaking....a lot of applique and embroidery was employed as well...painting with thread and material...whoa! My friend and I split up and studied those quilts for about 1-1/2 hours and then we asked each other "Which one would you choose to take home?"  Cat
Good for you. I could have worked 2 jobs, but I chose to
spend my time with my kids so they would know they had a mother, not just an I'll never ask anybody for help, never at home, money-making machine.
How pompous! I'm a single mom and I didn't "breed" - I chose not to murder a baby. sm
yep, I'm a single mom and I'm proud of it. I was in a very stable long-term relationship and I ended up getting pregnant while on the pill. But I didn't "breed" as you put it. You breed cattle, not babies.
What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm
