In Reply to: At the hospital where I worked there were - severe Avon ladies, Mary Kay ladies
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.

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.
Not unless it's something extra that they just want. They
still make VERY good money for the amount of hours they work. 
Sorry about the extra P! NM

We just put every extra dollar
We could toward paying all the unsecured debt we had until we only owed for the house. Then we decided we didn't really need to be living so grandly, and we really weren't living where we wanted to be anyway, so we quit jobs, sold the house and bought a smaller one where we wanted to live outright with the profit. We had a few thousand left so hubby could take a bit of time and look for work. He's an industrial electrician, so he can really work anywhere. I decided to go in a different direction career-wise, and decided to become an MT.
It's not just MTs though I think we are extra prone to it.
I had much food for thought after talking to a friend the other day about my own antisocial tendencies. She said she had a friend who was extremely outgoing whose job had turned into a telecommuting job and she had practically turned into a hermit. My friend observed that it must be even worse for MTs who are the type of people who tend to be more introverted anyway. I thought she had a real point there.
Maybe a mall job wouldn't be so bad, if you have the time. Or volunteering somewhere you're interested in?
Weight gain, I can't help you with....I had to make peace with my big hips years ago. LOL.
And put on a few extra pounds?

I think the obese should have to pay extra for
and let's not forget the alcohol consumers.
Has anyone ever made any extra...sm
money selling things on ebay? I have went through the closets and have a lot of things I need to get rid of. I am posting them on ebay. After selling those things I may open an ebay store with things I may buy cheap and resell. I even thought about making little throw pillows and throws and things. I can make pillows. My mom is great at sewing and I can sew some things. Just a thought. Anything to make some extra cash.
Has anyone had success selling on ebay?
I do not plan to BUT will get an extra - sm
vehicle they can use, but it will not be theirs so to speak. My parents unfortunately treated my brothers and I differently. They were allowed to get jobs while in HS, save up and buy a car which they both did. I was not allowed to work at all with in HS, therefore no way I was able to save up and buy a car. Lucky for me all my friends either were given cars or had access to one that was a family spare. My one brother was kind enough to let me use his car for the whole summer after I graduated HS as he was unable to have it where he was living at the time. My senior year in college my parents allowed me to use my dad's second car (an antique) which unfortunately the brakes failed on. I think out of guilt, and as a pre-graduation present my parents bought me a Nissan Sentra wagon so I could haul all my junk around, and so I could get to work (worked 2 jobs while at school and usually rode a bicycle but it got wreaked when I took a turn to fast and crashed). I am sure that went over like a lead balloon with my brothers but my college cost a third of what theirs did so they could not gripe too much. After that initial car I was on my own, paid my insurance, etc. though my dad did lend me the difference on the money I needed to buy a Blazer in 1989 (bank would not give me the full amount I needed) which was kind of him. But I will not spoil them by giving them a car....my neighor has gotten his daughter 3 of those new Mustangs so far, she is 17, has totaled 2 so far. I still cannot believe how stupid they are.
Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
see if you can sell her to the
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.
New information this morning on just how much extra put on
There is a news report just coming in on the hamburger drama. The chief of police said so much salt put on it was actually caked on, looked like shards of glass and not only that but pepper put on some heavily that the lettuce was entirely black.
Working all day Sat. for a little extra money so -
I can afford enough gas to drive into town on Sundays.
Life is Simple:
* Wake.
* Work.
* Eat (when I can afford it.)
* Work.
* Sleep.
* Repeat.
second that on condos. worth the extra $$$
we liked that a lot!!
Plus there are ways of making that extra day
There may be temp work to be had for 1 day a week (a good way to explore other jobs). Or devote one day a week to starting a small business of your own, such as on eBay, or crafts, or doing odd jobs in the neighborhood.
Another way is to spend the day working on the house. Things there weren't time for with a 5-day workweek, like finishing that deck or BBQ pit in the back yard, or replacing a leaky toilet or faucet, painting, weatherstripping, insulating etc. There are lots of things that can: add value to the house, improve heating/cooling efficiency, etc.
Or, maybe one day a week take a class at the local junior college, trade school, etc. It could pay off in just doing something fun or interesting, or in working towards an unfinished degree, or in learning a new trade altogether.
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!
I never mind the extra for shipping, have you seen those stores?!? lol
I do very little shopping at the big stores, NEVER during a sale, and most I do on line every year. I will sometimes even shop from home other times throughout the year when there are big sales, because many stores have the sales on line too, and if you have a credit card they will email you a notice and sometimes even offer free shipping or other deals. To me, it's just not worth going out and dealing with all that madness, it's too stressful and who needs that. Not me :)
Surprise extra blessing today.
We got out of the house and took Sasha to the dog park. In talking to a couple there, we told them how we lost Misha. The husband blurted out that he remembered Misha. I thought he meant from trips to the dog park, but no, he explained he was a vet tech at NCSU, and had cared for Misha on Christmas Eve. I got to meet and hug a guy that helped Misha get outside for her business and who sat with her and comforted her in her last hours. As the phenobarbital was controlling her health problems, he was soothing her spirit. He thought she was wonderful and he took great care of my baby when I couldn't be there. What a blessing God gave me to know she was cared for that way.
Would love to make extra money BUT
I have gone through the initial call with this company, some VERY nice people but the thing I do not like is you have to buy products each month and then get other people involved, is it any different now? The products seem like they would be pretty good, natural etc. Thanks!
Absolutely but if I can stay a few extra days
by just working a few hours each day - I'm there!
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

OOPS!! Meant 300 per person and extra 300
Sorry, got the numbers mixed up.
Ideas to earn extra income
In addition to your regular career what do you or your family do to bring in a little extra cash? I started a garden this year and it is doing so well that I think I may try for the local farmer's market next year. Not looking to make a fortune but it would be great if it could pay for extra things like a day at the zoo or pizza and a movie.
eBay is great for extra income...
and also to get things on the cheap. I haven't done it in months so can't really you a monthly amount, but looking forward to getting back into. Good luck to you.
And, I'm not talking about WHO the stores sell to, I'm
And, no I don't buy from businesses that knowingly sell homosexual material of any type!
Threaten to sell him to the gypsies!

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..
Property I am trying to sell right on the lake
and the people around there kinda sound like you and yours. That is why I am selling!
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....
Boobs still sell. Insanity

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 have no desire to sell my house sm
and couldn't afford it anyway. On top of that, regardless of hte neighborhood, I DO NOT want to live where there is an HOA!
I would never wear those sneakers, even if they sell them for $ 1.--,
cause they are UGLY.
I am not a 'label' wearer.
I'd pay extra for shipping at this point if they can guarantee delivery. nm

Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think.
I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time
I'm so sad for this poor dog. I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.  I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.
To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc. (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

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.
