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.
he is feeling out of control and he wants control
and from what you wrote, you aren't giving him opportunities to have some control.
My 4 yo has had this type of behavior since the age of 2-1/2, but I've figured out how to deal with it. First of all, he wants your attention, good, bad, indifferent and wants some say so in what happens to him.
I've done several things. With the screaming, I totally ignore her. I tell her my ears are closed and I can't hear her, but if she wants to cry/scream, she can't do it in MY living room (bedroom, whatever), only in HER bedroom. If she refuses to stay in her room, I take away her favorite snuggly and put it on the top of something, out of reach but visible. She can have it back when she stays in her room and stops being loud. If she keeps coming out, I put another coveted stuff up out of reach, over and over until she realizes I mean she has to stay in her room. I don't tell her she has to stop her fit or crying...she just can't do it in MY space. She can come back to where I am if she is quiet.
I make sure she knows I am in control, but we negotiate almost everything. If I want her to drink milk for breakfast and she wants juice, I tell her okay but she has to drink the milk at lunch. That gives her a sense of control and having a say in what is happening to her.
I have also had to sit on her bed for HOURS, holding her by wrapping my arms around her while she screams and kicks and bites until she begs to be let go. I won't let go until the out of control stuff stops. I don't talk except to say "I'll let you go when you are quiet." It is exhausting, but it only took a few times for her to understand I would invest the time and she hated being held like that for so long.
When I work at home, I make sure I take a break about every 90 mins and spend about 30 mins with her. It takes me all day to get my work done, but it makes all the difference in the world.
If she won't pick up something (say, blocks) after being asked upteen times, I tell her I will give them away to a child who wants to take care of them. It only took losing one set of blocks for her to get the idea she HAS to clean up her messes.
Finally, after being potty trained for at least a month and then rebelling and making messes in her pants for a week in a row (this happened 3 times), I finally told her in a very loud voice that _I_ had control over whether or not she went trick or treating and whether or not Santa comes to our house. If she wanted to have those things, she better use the potty and no more messes. She has been dry since the beginning of October and I give her a treat every day she stays dry.
One day a couple of weeks ago, she wanted to go to Mickie Dee's, but as we drove up she started shouting about wanting to go inside. I wanted to drive through. We were in the drive through line and I calmly told her sometimes people get mad and yell at someone else, but maybe it was an accident...I asked if she wanted to tell me sorry for yelling at me or did she want to go home. She shook her head "no" to apologizing. I repeated my offer and again got "no." I drove off towards home which immediately threw her into tears and whining, but now she doesn't yell at me anymore if she wants something.
Since October we have far fewer melt downs and I have realized she actually shows me her triggers...If she is angry and grumpy on the way home from somewhere, I hand her an energy bar to munch and suddenly I have a sunshine child again. If she gets grumpy in the middle of the day and refuses to take a nap, I tell her we will lie down on my bed. We start out talking and before too long, I tell her I am tired and want to close my eyes, but not go to sleep. Pretty soon, she will close her eyes and fall asleep. I can then get back up and go about my business.
Before somebody starts bashing me, I have a close friend who is a child psychologist and she helped me with all these suggestions. It takes a lot of work to maintain the appearance of control while giving the child the opportunity of having some say so in his/her life.
It's nice, but food prices insane and food is really bad,

I am only 5Ƈ". When I weight my desired weight (sm)
my face looks bad - drawn. I like myself best when I weigh about 140-150.
My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.

I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.

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

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?

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.--,

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!
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.
You have control (SM)
If you demonstrate to your husband that you do indeed have control not to eat that junk, you may get it in his head that you are serious about losing weight. He is sabotoging you, even if he does not intend to do so.
I've lost 123 pounds the hard way and kept them all off. If you can't afford a program that isn't really necessary, get your measuring cups out and measure each serving you eat, add up the calories, and figure out how many calories you need from a Google search to lose weight.
Trust me; you'll feel like crap afterwards if you eat that stuff. You will feel like you had a victory if you leave it alone. You will feel strong. Don't deny yourself that feeling.
I see you posted 2 days ago. I hope you didn't eat that junk.
No, they are definitely not out of control (sm)
Believe me, they are good kids. Like I said, they have never gotten in trouble at school and they are respectful. They were just trying to play with her like they do with me. My mother told me about demons all my life growing up too - and guess how many times I woke her up with night terrors? I'll call you to come sit up with my kids when they are scared demons are going to come and get them.

It has gotten out of control
I see parents who have nothing and cannot pay their bills getting their kids the Xbox 360s and Wii systems. How do they do this? My 18-year-old wanted one and I just couldn't do it. I had to limit myself to about $200 per kid this year.
My kids never had video games until they were well into their teens. They got books and educational computer games. Toys that kept their imaginations active like Legos. Do kids even play with toys anymore?
What has gotten out of control is all the ....sm
charities people are allowed to sign up for. I am all for giving to the needy and support things like Toys for Tots. Dr. Phil and Robin even came to my hometown to help kick off the campaign in our area. My SIL is a teacher at a school where this is quite a bit of poverty and she says kids will come to school and tell about all they got. She says some of these kids have better Christmases then her own children. Once again I don't begrude giving, but signing up with 10 different charities seems a bit much. Also, she has students where the entire family will sign up to "Shop with a cop" and only one of the children will qualify. I don't understand that either.
Only control myself, no one else so where that comes from?
Children grown, not trying to control in any kind of way. I just take care of my homee front, nothing more. More assuming. People think what they want so not trying to change others feelings.
no flea control
vet says we dont have fleas in our area.
she was in control of that relationship
