I would sell it on ebay, it would sell like -sm
a hotcake! Then possibly he could donate half of the money to a charity he likes and keep the other half as his prize for the contest, best of both worlds. This way he could maybe get himself a couple games with the money.
I am in the same boat. I have no desire to go to my in laws for sm
Christmas Eve and my husband is making us all go. It's the biggest fight every year. I am dreading it so much. I wish he would listen to me, but he won't. I don't see a long future for me and my husband. It's always his way or NO way. I should just say I am not going and not go, but IF I do that then Christmas morning will be miserable. He will take it out on me and the kids. I think he's just like them!
He pouted all day Thanksgiving because I refused to go to his mother's house where his siblings (the culprits) would be. The thing is this: They've never liked me. Never. It's been almost 10 years and everything is my fault. For a long time it scarred me, but then I realized that it wasn't me, it's them. And then to have my husband force me to be around this hateful, evil people is beyond understanding. I am NOT looking forward to Christmas eve. I swear, I just want to stay here (I've already celebrated with great friends and my family) and just want to enjoy Christmas eve and Christmas with people (my kids) whom I adore. But, it won't be that way when you have people in your lives (unfortunately) who are exactly the way you just described.
Ugggh. Not looking forward to this weekend. And to top it off, my birthday is Saturday. I told him that I wanted to NOT go to his mom's house for my birthday. That made him mad.
Oh, and don't tell me to put a smile on my face and be nice or put up with it. Until you walk a mile in my shoes where you have 3 sisters and 1 brother who think I am the antichrist, the last thing you can do is smile at these people....And I am a very kind and nice person. these people bring out the worst in me.
Absolutely NOT!! I have no desire to give...
my daughter a vaccination for a STD! Plus, from what I've read, it doesn't even protect against every type of HPV and she can still get cancer. And it's only been tested for a very short while and there may be long-term complications that we don't know about yet.
Even if I was to try to overcome my lack of desire for him (sm)
He did in one case admit to cheating with a girl he met while fishing from a pier in the Outer Banks. He then denied saying that, but of course he said it. I have children to raise. Should I expose myself to possible diseases? He still has not gone to get tested, so why should I give in to him?
If you are both mature and desire a child sm
I was immature for the first, thought I was mature ten years later for the second and now that I'm too old to have one, wish I had more but it's too late. This is not an answer but a longing that I wish I had more than two and it's too late. My husband did not want another as the first had medical problems, so we waited ten years and I am sorry I don't have more kids. I love kids! Also, my MIL didn't like kids and was not happy, complained about both pregnancies as "another mouth to feed". Each time I see a happy family planning for a baby, I cry. If it is going to make you both happy, do it, you will be the happiest in your life when you hold that child. Just IMHO. It will work if you want it to. If you wait until you "afford" one, you never will. Children are beautiful and worth it, they enrich your life, why else would you get "married"?
Their desire to want more (money, stuff) far outweighs sm
the consequences they know they will possibly face if caught. Just this morning at Wal Mart I witnessed a man with a cart loaded with 2 HDTVs! He didn't go through the line, just walked right out!! A clerk saw this and yelled, "Excuse me, sir!" and he calmly kept walking. I started getting really nervous! She followed him and then others followed (all Wal Mart employees) and I watched as this man abandoned his cart outside, walked to his car while they tried to get him to come in and he completely ignored them! He got in his car and took off. The manager got his license plate, I'm sure.
I began thinking "what on earth was he thinking?????" Why would you want to chance getting caught stealing 2,000 in merchandise? I don't have the temptation to rob, steal, kill, or destroy, so I can't tell you what goes through these people's minds!
But like I said earlier, whenever any of us do anything contrary to what we should be doing, we either don't realize the consequences or don't care about the consequences. Either way, it is a lose-lose situation.

Ditto, no desire, not in today's society/world!

Need help with ideas for remodeling house and decorating. We bought a house
in fair condition about 10 years ago, got into some medical problems, and have just now paid off the mortgage. Hubby and I agreed we would do nothing to the house for remodeling because we wanted to pay it off first, then the medical bills. I need to know of some websites/magazines/books to start researching for how to go about this. These will be major repairs - roof, septic, basement, windows, pretty much everything except wiring. Where do we start? Maybe hire a general contractor just to do an evaluation and give us recommendations? Hubby is a handyman but cant seem to get a handle on where to begin. We would like to do as much of the work ourselves as possible - labor of love and all that...
Thanks for any and all kind suggestions!

If parts are that expensive, sell her to the mechanic that gave you the quote. He at least will give you the amount you still owe and he can part it out.
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
At least you have kids trying to sell them to you....sm
around here we'll oftentimes see the scout "moms" with tables set up outside of Wal-Mart and grocery stores selling the cookies for the troops and have maybe only 1 scout around at that time.
We also sold them for 50 cents/box when I was a kid. I still love to get the thin mints and freeze them, then pull the box out on a hot day in July. Ahhhh -heaven!!!
sell the sale
As you are shoving the leftovers in the fridge say,
"Amazing sale on turkeys at such and such, you should go get one!"
My mom used to sell it years ago and
when I decided to do something to pad my income, I asked her about. She said she made good money back then, but so much has changed and the people she buys from now say it's hardly worth it.
After doing some research on my own, I found another direct sales company that offered their reps more with less out of pocket and less financial responsibility. I sell jewelry to people at home shows. I signed up in January and since then, I have made about $7,000 in profit (about $1000 extra a month). The benefits are that the customers pay up front. The customers handle their own returns/exchanges. Everything is backed with a lifetime guarantee, so no complaints if they don't like it. The orders are delivered to the home of the hostess, so no deliveries.
The startup cost is zero. I earned my display kit free with my own home show and it also came with enough paper supplies to get me started. Since then, I have invested in some marketing materials, etc, but it's still very profitable. I really enjoy the money I make and a couple of nights out a week with the "girls"!
If you'd be interested in hearing more, you can email me privately. If you decide to go with Avon, good luck, and remember -- you only get out of it what you're willing to invest in it!

And, no I don't buy from businesses that knowingly sell homosexual material of any type!

I would love to sell the baskets
but she does visit from time to time. I am not sure I could get away with it. My husband is such a peacekeeper, when I talk to him about it he just nods his head and says "I know". Thanks for the suggestions, and Misha thanks for the laugh.
No don’t have to sell but this property is 1 big headache
We have to go every month to cut the grass (6 acreas) and I told my sweet hubby today if something happened to me, hello, he would have to fool with all that. I have no use for it but have had since 2004 now, did not make up mind to sell until about a year ago. I told the realtor just to let me know when he got other offers..

yes, they sell it all over online. but what does that have to do with mums?

Publix is our big supermarket and they sell
rule for Publix Grocery stores is - AFTER 2 HOURS, if the chicken(s) is not sold - they throw them out!! They cannot risk selling to the public if the chicken has been sitting cooked in their cases MORE than 2 hours.
Take that under advisement please....and do not eat that chicken nor serve it....

Of course, if they'd pay me a living wage, I wouldn't have to do that. But since they don't, no way would I ever have any guilt about it. It's all about SURVIVAL.

Does anyone sell Lia Sophia jewelry?
Just curious if anyone sells Lia Sophia or how you make out with it moneywise. I just signed up and it seems like a pretty good deal. I hosted a party and then decided to sign on after seeing the amount of commission you could make. I had 6 people at my party and took 4 or 5 outside orders. I think the lady made about $200 off my party, plus I got a bunch of free/discounted jewelry. Is it really that easy?
I have 4 parties booked in January and 1 more yet to schedule. I'm hoping to bring in about $1000 per party and 2 parties a week, so maybe $600 a week. Is this realistic? Anyone else been doing this for a while and can offer any advice?
sell the car and buy her a brand new shiny
bus pass.
Tell you father to sell the property...
buy something decent and let you stay there for free.
Until everything is settled, move in with your father.
You are definitely living in danger.
How, for heaven's sake, can your father hire sex offenders to work in your house?
I would never wear those sneakers, even if they sell them for $ 1.--,
cause they are UGLY.
I am not a 'label' wearer.
Lisa LaPorte from Designed to Sell SM
had a neat trick - there is something easy to use that you use to fill in the panel "creases" (kind of like caulk) then sand it smooth when dry, paint over it, and it looks like regular walls. Maybe you could check the HGTV website and see if you can find it if interested. Otherwise I agree with the Kilz - that stuff is great but SMELLY!
They do sell weight control cat food.

Waste of your money. They sell you into this idea that sm
you "save" money over time, but you really don't. I'd be careful. Seriously. Heard of some bad experiences with this. Think about it. You pay ALL this money every single month like a huge loan payment and then you get to take a 2 week vacation anywhere they have resorts. Most of the time they are not flexible on dates. You know, we sat through one at Disney and I thought in the beginning, hey, this isn't such a bad idea. I get to come down here anytime I want! Yes! I will pay 500.00 a month. Where do I sign?! and then the guy looked at me and said, "Um, maam, you can come down for 1 week any time during the year for as long as you 'own' the timeshare." I almost spit my Coke all over him. No way is this a good idea.
I have. See him on infomercials in the middle of the morning trying to sell is nonsense...
to fill is how pockets. Just one example of his "natural cures"....any physician will confirm, with 100% certainty, that patients with end-stage renal disease who receive dialysis 3 x weekly can not be cured by KT's natural methods. He's one of the biggest so-called medically knowledged shysters out there, praying on innocent, uneducated, poor people.
PS: The timeshare he wanted to sell cost 17,000 and we "owned" it. But still sm
one week out of the year? I'm not young. What if I only have 10 years left? Or less?
I agree; also you don't sell stuff like that at yard sales.
Save it for ebay or something like that. Tough lesson learned.
Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

99-cent stores in Houston sell milk....
any fat content, 2 gallons for $3. Might be worth a shot if making cheese, though I don't know what the yield would be when converting liquid to solid. Sure beats the $4+ per pound price of cheese in the grocery store.
I seriously doubt they sell. She's out of luck unless you want to make her a bootleg copy which
kind of dicey.... DVD players are about $50 right now... VHS thing of the past and try hard to get her to convert to DVD!!
I have to disagree. EVERY grocery store chain does NOT sell gay & lesbian material.

WalMart sell homosexual books & videos. I won't shop at any store
and it's not because I'm judgemental of anyone. God will judge in the end. But, I have a right to shop at stores that do not sell such items. And, for the poster who said homosexuals buy condoms...heterosexuals buy condoms, too! For example, my brother and his wife use condoms because they don't want to have anymore children but also don't want to have surgery. For the person who posted that the Bible was written by man, let me enlighten you. The Bible was written by man through God. That means that, while man wrote the text, God was who gave man the words to write it. This issue for me is not JUST about WalMart, it is about all businesses who sell homosexual material.

Do you stencil? Walmart and Michael's locally sell stencils and the dabber brushes.
It is not hard. I did a design of ivy and then glazed over it (suggestions on type to use from Lowe's) and then found a shower curtain that had the same ivy, material with ivy and light flowers to trim out some towels. Looks pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself.
We have a house and
who want a dog. I'm not a cat fan and we can't have an outside dog b/c we live in a development (and I don't want a dog inside). Rabbits are quiet and cute. Thanks for the insight!!!
Get a job in house
Again you knew what you were getting into when you signed on. Also some MT's in our hospitals do have to work holidays. Some of it is covered by those that chose to "work at home" but again they knew this when they took the job with being able to "work at home."
Well, not in my house!

Do they have a dog house?
I definitely agree that she should take the dog inside, but if she absolutely refuses maybe you could buy her a well-insulated doghouse so at least the animal will have some protection from the cold. Animals have survived cold temperatures for years, but they need a place that shelters them from the cold, and she needs to provide that for them!!
I feel for you - vegetarian here :) One of the big reasons I lost respect for my ex-best friend was the way she treated her animals. She was always buying dogs and cats and then leaving them at the pound or pawning them off on people. It really made me think less of her, because what kind of person does that! She also won't admit she did anything wrong! arrrrgh! It drives me crazy when people don't take proper care of their animals. They are a big responsibility - not just a cute puppy to show off when it's convenient. I hope your daughter straightens up, but again, if she doesn't I highly recommend purchasing a good doghouse for the poor dog!
i want to eat at your house
I have a cookbook from LA Leche League - Whole Foods for the Whole Family. many good recipes. don't know if still available, bought 12 years ago. Many ethnic recipes on-line to try.
Get him out of the house
This kid is angry at you. He is going behind you undoing everything you do. He wants your attention, even if it is negative.
He needs kids his own age - he may be a number to the day care people, but he'll be a real kid to the other kids and will make friends.
Get him into something you can afford, even if it is just the 2-hr a day program. It will work wonders for him and for you.
Good luck - let us know how it goes for you.
S/L you are carrying a huge load. Home schooling sounds great, but when you're working another job as well, it can break your back. Maybe you and the husband need to reassess how you are doing things. Do the home school classes when the DH is there to help out, or whatever takes the stress out of it for you.
Your cat looks like it ate the house!
Beautiful!
