In Reply to: would you like to find out more about melaleuca - jenn
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!

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.
Well, I did not make my money as an MT, you can bet on that
I would take exception to the nobody working as MT is wealthy- if I had no money, I am still wealthy in my loves and happiness. I have a great life. I hope to never have to retire, regardless of what I have moneywise, just my way of living.
I just think about my money that I make
and I don’t have days when I just slack. Have days off for that.
If you don't make enough money here
why are you sitting around and not looking for something else to do? Is it because you just "gotta" work at home? If that is the case, do as I did in years past. I worked nearly always 2 jobs, 3 or 4 if I did not have enough money. If I did not have the money I wanted for groceries, I bought the basics, potatoes, beans, and the like. Hey, it will fill you up. I can have fried potatoes 1 day, the next mashed, baked, whatever. I raised a family, bought my home, had cars, trucks, expensive vacations, supported several people at one time, and did it all on my own because I have a strong belief in working. You should try it sometime.
Well, hopefully you don't make too much money, otherwise, you can forget help. nm

Holy cow, how much money do you make? - sm
We pay maybe $6K a year on ours, $60K whew, you must make a ton of cash, or your husband does. Amazing. Our house will be paid off in 3.5 years on a 15 year mortgage.
You'll hardly make any money
The main problem, which made me get out, is that you'll have people that won't pay when you give them the merchandise. Then, if they want to return something, you pay to send it back to avon to get credit which cuts into your profit.
You have to pay for the mags, bags, order forms, etc. It's not really a profitable business and will cost you to make money.
I still buy Avon and love it, but never again will I try and slling it, that's for sure. I got burnt too many times having to chase money down and then get an attitude from the buyer.
If you do this, make sure you get the money up front! LOL
Well, I can make a load of money too if I wanted to get into porn. and
having relations with other people, including women. It's a multi-billion dollar a year industry. It doesn't make it right. I can go and rob a bank tomorrow and make a ton of money, but it doesn't make it right.
I like what the Bible says about it - a decent man will make his money with an honest living.
Good way to make loads of money, surrogate mothering
Watching a news show this morning and I am seeing a 42-year-old woman who is a surrogate mother. I am really taken aback at seeing this as most 42 year olds would be considered a higher maternal risk because of their age. The surrogate mothering agency says they have seen a dramatic increase in the people wanting to rent their uterus. The agency said the surrogates make between $18,000 and $20,000 something for each baby. Would you be one?
'scuse...keep calls short as I feel I must do these things in order to make money. No babies

Nothing like money to bring out the love, huh?
I'm about to file an adoption petition for my granddaughter. My daughter is willing to consent to the adoption, but we have no idea (for over 2 years) where the dud is. We have to do all this stuff to make sure the dud has been notified before we terminate his rights on her (for abandonment), but my lawyer made a point. Sometimes a dud will find out someone came into money and wants to be a father for the first time.
I feel for your friend and hope she keeps a flame thrower loaded and ready for this jerk and that family. She may end up needing to use some of that money on a lawyer to keep the guy away. She will be in my thoughts.
Love your answer, dead on the money
All your suggestions good ones. I know from experience, and have posted this before, one day you will look around and wonder where in the world did the years go. You are in your 50s or 60s and you are losing so much. Time is very precious- it cannot be retrieved once gone. We only have this time to make bad or good choices, life just runs by you so fast and then you find yourself a senior citizen.
Nah, and I NEVER pass on those round robin letters for good luck, money, love, etc. if passed on in

Oh, I love the Eagles!! One day, maybe, they will make it!!!

I LOVE your sleigh!! Did you make that??
it's beautiful!
Just love them and include them. Don't make them feel SM
like they are a part of a bad movie not really understanding the plot and worried about what is going to happen to them. I have an adjustment disorder and panic situation all my life as a result. When you feel the floor falling out from under you it is a frightening situation. Just make them feel as secure as possible. That is the main thing. Tell them over and over it has nothing to do with them. Kids tend to blame themselves. I don't know the ages of your children, but young ones particularly take it on themselves. I told my dad the night it really fell apart that if I had been a better daughter this would not have happened. Obviously, that was not an accurate statement. I was sitting in a chair unable to walk listening to a terrible fight and my mom telling him she hated him. No one should have memories like that. My parents were good people. They felt overwhelmed and that is what happened. We needed family counseling. Good luck to you, dear.
I love meatloaf but every time I make
it just tastes like hamburger meat. Gosh, wish I could make a decent one. Do you have room for 1 more at your table??
Gosh, these posts make me realize how much I love
He does none of what has been talked about here. I am blessed beyond measure...
I love the ambrosia my Grandmother used to make/beautiful pearls one year from DH. nm

Grazie! I love the 3 Tenors! We've decided to make 2 batches
of Limoncello just in case the ginger falls flat. Thanks so much for the YouTube vid.
Happy New Year!
If you're asking and the love is long gone, it's time. Make copies of all important papers,

How much money rasied for Katrina, how much money for the diasters due to the tidal waves and what?
Every single one of them have had some smoke around it with the money not getting to where it was supposed to go. I did not contribute, I hardly watched, was not caught up again as I have seen things like this before. They should give a all you can give benefit for Darfur where people are being massacared each and every day. Genocide going on there each and every day. I have not seen any benefits to help them out yet.
But her money is her money to spend as she pleases -
I don't understand how you can think it is wrong for her to spend whatever she wants to on whatever she buys. It is their personal money they spend. It is not like they are saying give me those shoes and add it to the taxpayer's bill.
And in all actuality, they are saying spend, spend, spend to get the economy going.
I am sorry, I am jealous that some people still have plenty of money to spend and I don't, but I don't expect those people to quit spending just because I had to.
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.
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.
second that on condos. worth the extra $$$
we liked that a lot!!
If I find something to sell or do for extra $,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
