with 1 of the major shopping channels, have my television in my work room, sometimes watching a particular show and get the number, call up the site and order. It really does not take that long and I still get 2000-3000 or over a day, no sweat.

Own account
Think about getting your own account to supplement this. They are out there. Got two this past month. They came to me -- no advertising. Tapes with pick up and delivery but good pay. Each account between 10,000 and 15,000 lines per month. Will be adding another local IC but because I do pick up and delivery I can only pay 8.5 cpl but it is gross 65 cpl. But that might help.
I do 400 LPH on my ER account
Love it!
Take into account where she is from.
She may have grown up in a place that had no blacks, or maybe her parents were racist; maybe all she learned FROM OTHERS for a very long time was a little skewed or backwards, and she has no idea she's not being PC.
I had an ex-BF who didn't know a single black person until he went to college, and he would say the weirdest things about blacks, not out of hatred or racism, but out of innocent ignorance to their life/background/culture.
In all honesty, the OP sounds a little simple in her language and view...or maybe it's just that she and I are from different cultures and we are both NORMAL.
I'm jealous, I wish I had such an account
as a secret one so I could sock away some extra $$ !!!
Can You Get Overdraft on your account
This has more than saved my life. It's well worth it just for piece of mind in case something should happen and you absoutely have to use your checking account and you're a little short. I hope that that one penny won't screw you up. That would stink. Maybe the bank would be forgiving.
Can you account for most of his time
when he is supposed to be either at work or home? I would be more upset if my husband were into a same sex situation than with a woman. Thinking he might be cheating (if into same sex) I definitely would not want to have sex with him, or really the other way either but especially same. You are much at risk if you do, better to not fiddle around. Thank the Lord I don’t have that crap now. I have gone through similar in my life and finally found a guy who I am 100% sure of - hard to find now days.
I just recently went out and got my own account sm
to avoid the arguments over money. He is not very happy about it, but I told him that after 18 years of being together I cannot have this argument any longer. My husband was a real mama's boy and he got whatever he wanted when he was a child (an ONLY child BTW). I came from a large family where I wore my brother's hand me downs and share clothes with my sisters. I have decided it is never going to change, but I needed to get that stress out of my life. I told him as long as you pay these bills, your leftover money is yours to do whatever it is you want to do. I am exhausted with this situation. I love my husband, the children adore him, so I am hoping this will help the stress in our marriage so we can stay together. I am sorry to stay this will only get worse. We don't even have a house, we rent an apartment for God's sake. He has no desire to even buy a house . . . I am going to try to qualify on my own. Wish my luck . . .
No checking account. sm
I have a prepaid debit card I have my pay deposited onto and then pay bills from that or get money orders. The only problem I have is if I get a check its hard to cash and I have to go to the issuing bank and they sometimes charge a fee to cash their own check. Like National City charges $10 to cash a check drawn on their bank if you don't have an account with them. 
I only have a savings account....sm
Better for me that way. I hate checking accounts. My husband and I have issues when I have a checking account because he thinks you can write a check and worry about covering it later. Not me.
Do you have a Paypal account?
Maybe a few of us could send you a couple of dollars to cover it.
I came home from Sunday school once with a chunk out of my hair but it was the work of some naughty little boy. 
Never had any money, on account of....sm
Though I made decent wages, I was divorced and had a daughter and later grandson to almost completely support for a great many years, all through her nursing school and college for her, because her father did nothing...but that's neither here nor there.
So if anything, I'm even a little better off now than before, LOL! As long as my loved ones are OK, I'm OK.
But did you and your no account brother treat her
x
Seems most poeple are not taking into account
that this man beat her! He may have not hit her in the past four years but believe me, there is a good chance he will do it again. She is NOT in love with him so why stay with someone you have NO feelings for and do not desire sexually? Is therapy REALLY going to make her fall in love with this man again? Is he going to be HONEST with her....he hasn't been all these years; in fact, sounds as though he shows no emotion at all.
My question is - how do you stay with someone you do not love any longer no matter what unresolved issues there are. The only issue I would feel is that there is NO love - if there is NO love, I MOVE ON and did after 29 years.
Sounds like we work on the same account!
LOL
I get irate too, report after report about illegals and all the free crap they get, and doctors even giving them advice on how to get more freebies.
We had that happen with an old dial-up account
But there was no advanced warning or anything. One month our bill was what they said it would be and the next month it had doubled if not tripled. They told us it was because we were "unusually heavy users." I don't even remember what company it was, but we dropped them immediately.
My checking account is free too. I pay
most of my bills on line through them--no fee for that either. Whenever I need checks, I order them from one of those places you see in ads in the Sunday paper. They are cheaper and with paying online, I have not ordered any in probably 4 years.
I can use bill pay to pay to a specific account #
at any bank. Its free, too.
login to your account @paypal to see your history. SM
if there is no payment listed, then assume it did not go through.
or you could check with your credit card company...
file garnishment on bank account
so it hits his account the same day he deposits pay checks (usually Friday).
PayPal eCheck from my checking account
I know this has happened to somebody here before, I remember reading it. This morning I woke up and checked my checking account to see what little I had left before pay day this Friday. What I found was that somebody had taken $2420.00 from a PayPal eCheck, and now I am way in the negative. The bank says it takes three to five, possibly up to ten days to dispute and make the account right. That's just great. I have a direct deposit going in on Friday, and won't even be able to use that until who knows when.
What can be done, if anything, on my part? Is there someway to make PayPal responsible for making the dispute happen faster? I have no clue what to do and have absolutely no money until this dispute is over. It did take the whole ten days about six months ago when I got double charged for something, so I already know it won't happen before pay day. Maybe with this large sum of money they will expedite. I can hope!
Okay, back to work for me. Thanks.
First thing I did after reading this was check my account sm
All is well, thank goodness. How scary! I hope it all gets straightened out okay.
Hey Jan - You can also open a free account with photobucket.com
You can upload any pictures to that and then change the size. After that you can copy it onto the avatar secton here.

My husband opened up a new Ameritrade account
so far, so good. We only put in $2000. He basically wanted some play money and wanted to give it a try. We do day trading and he's actually making a little bit. He tends to watch the companies that are closing to merging and makes a play for them. You can find out ahead of time what companies are planning mergers, when they expect to close, and how much they agreed on for the selling price per share. So far, he's done 2 of these and made out okay, but he's pretty conservative in how much he buys.
Closing an account affects your score because
if you carry balances on other cards, by closing an account you instantly increase the percentage of available credit that you are using. An assessement of the percentage of use is a significant element in your credit score.
If you have other cards with high limits and low or no balances, closing an account will have only a small, probably temporary, effect, unless you are closing the account with the longest history. As another poster mentioned, length of credit history is another significant element of your credit score.
If you have high balances on other cards, leaving open an unused account will make those balances a lower percentage of your available credit, which can boost your credit score. However, in that case, paying down the balances will have a much larger positive effect on your score.
Hate making a mistake on my checking account!
I typically write only 1 check a month (for my rent/water) and everything else is paid online or with my ATM/Visa card. I checked my balance this morning and thought, yeh! I can go get a latte! So off I went, spent $3.57 on a coffee and on the way home remembered something -- I wrote a check last week to the DMV for this year's registration/tag and I wasn't sure if it had cleared my bank. Got home, checked my balance and guess what? The outstanding check has NOT cleared and now the balance in my checking account is 1 penny short of clearing that check! Too late to go put in a couple of dollars for it to be posted tonight in case the check comes through 
Y'all keep your fingers crossed with me that the check won't come through tonight, or if it does my bank will be forgiving and not charge me $35 to cover that extra penny I'm short on  That would be some expensive latte!!!
If you have a Netflix account, you can watch online for free.
The membership is fairly cheap. My husband and I have one and watch movies online on their site all the time.
Where did you get the account of it from? The child with perception issues? Or another adult?
oooo

Transfer your banking business to a free checking account
Washington Mutual Compass Bank, and many others offer completely free checking accounts. There’s no reason you should be paying maintenance and annual fees for a checking account.
Not easy....
I have been there and it's not an easy decision to make. I did get a second opinion and that really helped me make my final decision. In my case it was possible cancer of the uterus. When I thought about being a single mom and how much I wanted to see my daughter grow up and after getting the second opinion I had the surgery. Although it was difficult to go through at the time it was really freeing. No more times of the month, no more Kotex supplies, etc. I have never regretted the decision since! Get a second opinion, it's worth the time and effort!
I think it would be easy, too, IF I had someone to do all the
chopping and measuring for me!!! LOL!!!
Does anyone have an easy way to keep a
dog's teeth clean if they resist brushing? I am concerned about her. I tried to brush them a few times and only was successful for part of the lower teeth. I know that if bacteria gets into the blood stream they can really become dangerously sick and even die from this. How about some items that can be bought at pet chain stores? We should have started her out early to get used to it. Any advice would be so appreciated. 
easy way
First of all, there IS no easy way!!
My ex-SIL had gastric bypass right at about the time I started WW.
Just a little background: I was always thin until I started working at home. Then I blew up. Ex-SIL and BIL had not seen me until the weight gain, so it was somewhat of a shock.
Anyhow, we were in the process of embarking on our respective means of weight loss, and ex-BIL said to me, "At least you're doing it the hard way." I told him, without hesitation, that his wife was doing it the hard way. Dang!! She's the one getting cut open!!
I know it was his way of encouraging me because he's nice that way, but it bothers me that people think surgery and accepting the risks involved is easy in any way, shape, or form.
Man, I'm glad you can do the Tobasco. I don't think I would live without it LOL ;-)
Wish you the best!
very easy -
all I do when I cook salmon is add an egg and some flour and fry it up - don't add too much flour or it will be dry and taste flour, just enough so that it will stick together.
Here's an easy one
I find hor'dourves are always nice. Have them before and then if anyone stays after dinner you can pull them back out later or the next day for snacks.
Little smokie sausages, wrap each in 1/2 piece of bacon secured with a toothpick, and roll in brown sugar. Then bake in the oven until the bacon is done. They are really yummy and easy. line the cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup cause the sugar can be messy.
My mom also used to take cream cheese and spread it on a platter, top with a layer of cocktail sauce, and then crab meat (real or imitation). Serve with crackers.
Rye bread is fantastic with dill dip. If you can find a round loaf of rye bread and hallow out the center and put the dip in the middle. Then the center part can be chopped up and placed around the outside for dipping. Later people can pull apart from the round "bowl" of bread to dip. Little to no clean up here.
My mom used to do hor'dourves instead of dinner and then just make a ham and rolls in case anyone didn't have dinner yet. I'll keep thinking. I'm sure I can remember a few more easy ones that everyone always seemed to love.
An easy gift would be
to just get her a gift card to the mall in your area at the service desk, and she could use it at any of the stores there in the mall.
If you want to get a gift, gift, do you know any of her interests?
I know this will not be easy to read but I believe
we are responsible for how others 'treat' us because we have allowed it.... not easy to accept - I know - because have been through this myself and it is hard to swallow but if you think about it - it does make sense. When others disrespect us, either by not treating us the same as we treat them or by doing other unacceptable things and we continue to allow them to do this w/o confronting - they will continue to do so and in order to stop you need to stop allowing it and stop accepting it - and realize you are worthy of more. It's a hard step to take and a long road to haul but it can be done. So sorry! Trust me - have been there myself and slip back every so often but it is worth it to change!
Just take it slow and easy
Don't rush into anything, and don't let him pressure you into moving faster than you are comfortable with. After all, if you do get together, hopefully you will have a lot of happy years ahead of you. There's no need to rush things in the beginning.
I have been married for a long time to the same man (never divorced) but if we had taken more time in the beginning, we probably never would have gotten married. Outside circumstances kind of put us in a "do or die" position.
We had a lot of unhappy years, especially in the beginning. So the one thing I always advise anyone who is contemplating marriage and/or a serious relationship is take your time.
And good luck!
How to make (sm) It is easy
I bought a throw blanket, about 5' x 4' or so, then bought same size blanket fabric (had to trim it some so they are both same size. You put them one on top of the other and make cuts in about 2" or so, and about 1 inch apart so that you have fringe on three sides, but leave the top alone. They you just start tying both blankets together. It is kind of trial and error depending on how thick your blanket material is so you need to tye one and see if you need to cut in deeper or not. That's it! You just tie knots in the fringe on the three sides and you are done. If I can find a pic of one I'll try to post it for you.
easy button sm
I gave a gift to a home for troubled kids, attached a gift card to an easy button. Still getting thank you's. Just added a simple touch to money card which I don't like to give, but in this case it worked well, as kids are older, teenage troubled kids.
LOL!! Let me make this easy for you...sm
Lose the attitude, B! And I don't mean blondie. ;) The word I was referring to ends in an H, it also has an I in it too. Then throw in a T and a C and well, I think you are a smart girl. It will come to you. :)
Sure it's easy to get addicted
to food when you eat junk food, candy, cakes, McDonalds, ice cream, etc. I've never seen an obese person who eats healthy. If you are obese, you too are taking advantage of the healthcare system. What does it matter to you about my health...I don't worry or ridicule obese people. Comes down to it's none of your business. I do not smoke on the streets, in front of children, or people who have health problems. When I see an obese person stuff their face with crap and they weight 300 pounds, I find that disgusting. They too are hurting themselves. All addictions are the same no matter what even though you are too opinionated to see that!!
What I do a lot and is super easy
Is just take a bag of frozen vegetables, usually whatever I have. Broccoli/caul/carrots, broc/caul... or those new steam in the bag veggies. I just cook up some kind of whole wheat pasta, whatever I have, and then throw it together with the veggies. Sometimes I add some kind of pasta sauce or even just sprinkle with parmesan. If it's one of those packages of veggies that's already seasoned, that's really good too. I don't feel like pasta, I'll use rice instead. Quick and easy and you don't feel deprived because of all those veggies.
Easy but good
In a blender: 1 lg can whole tomatoes, 1-3 serrano peppers (sometimes even 1 is very hot, just depends on peppers at the time), Black pepper, Garlic Salt, Salt, and just a little Comino or Cumin (I have been told they are the same and I have tried them side by side and can't tell the difference.) Blend and season to taste. It will take more salt than you might think and just add a little by little of ingredients until you get it just like you like it. My friends have always had to make a couple before getting it seasoned just right. My bunco group requires this every month.
Or this Pico Salsa: 4-6 tomatoes diced, 1 onion diced, 3-6 serrano peppers diced very small, cilantro chopped added to your taste, and 1 fresh lime squeezed for juice. Season with Black Pepper, Salt, Garlic Salt all to taste and about 4 shakes of Worchestershire sauce. This is great pico for eating with chips or added with many dishes. My family prefers this at every gathering.
This is all with Texas preferred heat, so you may want to cut down on the peppers and it all depends on how hot the peppers are that day. The sauce and pico will get hotter over night, so be careful. If your pico gets too hot, try adding tomatoes to cool it off. Hot sauce requires adding more whole tomatoes to cool off but then you have to adjust your seasonings all over again.
It would be easy in my house. He would tell me to never cut

How old do they have to be to peel easy?
Another thing I've learned is to cool them down as fast as possible makes them easier to peel. If you just let them cool down on their own, without running cold water over them, they're harder to peel.
Easy Fudge
Ingredients
3 cups (18 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk-chocolate chips)
1 (14-ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
Dash salt
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with EAGLE BRAND® and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts (optional) and vanilla. Spread evenly into wax paper lined 8- or 9-inch square pan.
Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board, peel off paper and cut into squares. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.
Notes: OTHER GREAT FUDGE FLAVORS: Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Glazed Fudge: Proceed as above but stir in 3/4 cup peanut butter chips in place of nuts. Glaze: Melt 1/2 cup peanut butter chips with 1/2 cup whipping cream; stir until thick and smooth. Spread over chilled fudge.
Marshmallow Fudge: Proceed as above but omit nuts and add 2 tablespoons butter to mixture; fold in 2 cups miniature marshmallows.
Easy for men to decide
Some guys are good dads - willing to pitch in and help take care of the child's needs, and give it plenty of time and attention.
There are quite a few guys out there that like the IDEA of a child - as long as it doesn't cramp their style. This means it all devolves upon the mother - care of the child 24/7, criticism from him and his family if you aren't doing it their way, but of course any bragging rights are all theirs.
Then there are the demands of academia - when your child gets sent home with a backpack full of paperwork to review on a nightly basis, whose job will that be?
Another thought is the possibility of divorce down the road - what happens then? Quite a few dads who let mom do all the work suddenly become superdad when the thought of child support comes along, and they will do anything to win custody so that YOU have to pay THEM. Even if you win custody, the head games with visitation schedules, daddy's new girlfriend pushing her way into the picture, etc. never end.
Be careful. Having a baby to stroke a man's ego can get very messy very fast. Its a huge responsibility and too often the mother does all the work and the father takes all the credit. Take the worst case scenarios into consideration before you decide.
We made it easy.
Decided that we did not need to buy gifts. We had a wonderful dinner together and enjoyed the day.
So, to answer your question -- did not use credit cards .. or cash for that matter!
Is godaddy.com. It's so easy to use...sm
I had absolutely NO clue how to create a web site and used this. It is very user friendly, their IT staff is always on call 7 days a week/24 hours a day and give great advice on how to do things when you get stuck, and their prices are very good, too. Good luck!
It's so easy to judge...
people when you think you have all the answers. Isn't it? What happens when one hits rock bottom? I'm too old to stroll out and "just get another job". I feel totally worthless and alone. I am at the point of considering suicide.
