Do you make pretty good money doing this? Is it worth taking the time or do you just do it for fun? I went to the website you listed and am seriously considering joining...more info would be very much appreciated...

The Secret
I've heard a lot about "The Secret" and Oprah's show today is all about it if anyone's interested. It's about the laws of attraction and how to attract more abundance and positives into your life. This sounds interesting. 
the secret
I was offered The Secret by special price from another site that I use daily and purchased the dvd. It is very well done and very informative. Please see it.
The Secret DVD
Is the DVD available in stores?
THE SECRET
Have you seen the movie The Secret? If you haven't it is a very good movie to watch. Not only for marriage, but for life. Good luck.
THE SECRET = YOU
It is not just being grateful for what you have; it is your outlook on life. The power of positive thinking. If you think you can't do something or you aren't happy etc. you have already set your limitations. You really have to watch the movie to understand what they are teaching you. Something so simple, yet many people lose sight of it.
You typed "I have always been grateful for what I have, and no better things are coming my way, I can assure you." You have spoken that into existence and nothing better will come your way. (Not trying to be rude, just making a point).
I am grateful for my husband, my kids being healthy and my job as an MT working for a wonderful company, and I look forward to many more happy years.
Sorry, what is the secret to
start with? Don’t know this.
Can you keep a secret like this?
Attorneys kept secret for 26 years that their client committed a murder. An innocent man was charged/tried/convicted for the murder.

My secret is staying out of the sun
and wearing a hat or slathering on a crapload of sunscreen! I got totally fried when I worked for a nursery (plants) back in the early 1990's and my ears burnt so bad they they actually got a tad deformed around the edges! I love outdoors time but I'll be darned if the sun is gonna be the cause of my demise!
Besides, I'm a superfreak when it comes to medical stuff. I love researching all sorts of medical crap and that nasty IUD just stuck in my head from my days in Anatomy and Physiology 101.
I also have a fetish for bugs too and someday, before I die, I'd love to play entomologist or something queer like that.
secret shopper
I do this in my spare time, and I am with Shop-N-Chek. I have not had any problems with them. If I want to do a shop, I do one. If I don't, I don't. You do an initial survey and they match you up with potential shops in your area. You can even do them on vacation if you have the zip code for where you are going. The website is shopnchek.com.
Shshshsh! That's my secret.
:o}
Principal Secret
anyone tried this skin care product? How'd you like it? Thinking about ordering, but not sure. Thanks for feedback...
Principal Secret
I have been using Principal Secret products for over 7 years. I quit the membership though because I simply wasn't using it enough to justify needing a supply shipped to me when they felt it was time, but rather just purchase it when I need it. Like the other poster stated, it is still cheaper than high-end cosmetics at high-end department stores. Principal Secret has a "bottom of the jar" guarantee also, so you can order straight from them, try the product, use it "all" and return it for a full refund if you do not like the product. Having sensative skin and not being able to use any form of foundation, I love their tinted moisturizer (very much lighter in color than chart), but I only use it in the wintertime due to being outside and getting tanned in the summer. I, however, also use all their skin cleanser products and the serum, as stated above, is absolutely wonderful. I do not like the eye cream though, it seems to irritate my skin. After using the tinted moisturizer in the winter, I follow it with the tinted loose powder by Mary Kay Products for a matted finish. Mary Kay loose powder does not irritate my skin nor does it clog my pores.
Do You Have a Secret Ingredient?
Do you have a recipe that you add or substitute an ingredient to make it special?
When I make pecan pies I sub half the amount of the corn syrup with Kahlua. I'm going to switch it up this year and sub it with Godiva liqueur for a chocolate flavor. I also add a couple of tablespoons of brandy to my pumpkin pies.
Secret ingredient sm
My family does not eat meat stuffing, so I use Pepperidge Farm preseasoned bread stuffing but instead of water per directions. I use either orange juice, cranberry juice, or both. I used to use chicken broth but after dieting, I found I could taste the grease. I also throw in a tiny bit of sliced apple, cranberry and raisin, not overpowering, just a hint, then of course, I chop up an onion and some celery. We have nut allergies, otherwise I would add some walnuts. People said they would kill for my stuffing. I mix it up and cook it in a separate casserole dish in the oven, cover with foil for about 15 min., then lift the foil and let brown a little, and butter, oh yes, plenty of butter, it doesn't taste greasy. My one vice is butter, usually holidays.
keeping a secret
taking addiction too seriously is a mistake. Keeping it a dirty little secret is a mistake. Hiding "Pa" in the basement because he is an embarrassment is a mistake. There is NOTHING shameful about being addicted to a substance. I hardly think there is one person on this board who does not know someone on antidepressants or takes them and that is considered healthy? But medicating depression with vodka is shameful?
The best disinfectant is light.
That's the big secret? I saw some of that Oprah and got bored.
I have always been grateful for what I have, and no better things are coming my way, I can assure you. Maybe it's some sort of brainwash...with hidden subliminal messages. LOL
The secret: JESUS. It's so odd that everything they said on that show
as a Christian, was Christianity and they didn't even know it. The only huge difference is that they believe this huge "secret" is about yourself when we believe it's about Jesus. Instead of looking inward to do all of those things, we look outward and ask God to do those things for us and He never fails to do them. It's really no secret.
Anybody wath The Secret on Oprah.
Any experiences with this. I am having a great time.
I'm a secret fan, too, but I got pulled away from the end. I have a feeling what's

You're right., some things should not be kept secret.
Tell your daughter that you have to inform the other parent, then do it. It's not fair to the other parent to keep this secret. And, don't try to be a friend to your child, just be a parent, which doesn't always mean doing what they want.
Principal Secret/Reclaim
Hello ladies. Does anyone use this product by Victoria Principal? Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you.
The recipe is a secret - sort of!
It's funny. I can make the cole slaw, but there's not really a recipe. And the sour cream, mayo thing was not her usual. She was probably trying to stretch out the mayo. That's my cousin's house, and his mom never had enough mayo on hand! LOL The same with the wine vinegar. Grandmom made sort of a face over it. She used plain white vinegar at her house. The cabbage was always sliced paper thin, by hand. Then onion was grated on one of those plane graters, so that the onion turned pretty much into juice. Then added a splash of vinegar, salt and pepper and stirred it up. Then, in a coffee mug, she sprinkled a bit of sugar on the bottom of the cup, filled it about halfway with mayo, and then thinned that with whole milk or cream until it was the consistency of salad dressing. Then mixed it all together. And not wanting to waste a drop, she always took some of the cabbage, put it into the mug and tried to clean out every drop of the dressing. One coffee mug of this concoction was enough for half a head of cabbage. Her cole slaw leaned more to the sour side with vinegar. It wasn't a sweet cole slaw, at all. She added grated carrots on special occasions, like T-giving, which is when the video was taken.
She was barely 5-feet tall, and shrunk to well under that as she got older. My mother was her firstborn child, and weighed nearly 10 pounds and breech, born at home. Amazing. My Grandmom was one strong lady!
My secret to happiness what something my grandma
told me.
My grandparents were opposites. I asked her on their 50th wedding anniversary how they had been able to stay together so long. She told me this:
You can sacrifice things in your life for the person you love and vice versa. But, if the person loves you and is worth loving, they will not require it of you.
Oh, please...anyone who keeps secrets, secret passwords...
email accounts, etc, shouldn't be trusted. It's not snooping for crying out loud. Any one who doesn't share with their spouse must be ashamed of something or have something to hide. Get rid of him already and move on to a HEALTHY relationship!
Need secret Santa ideas for male.....

Google "The Secret" and you'll see. It's about how to get what you want out of life, bus

Has anyone ever dealt with a legit Secret Shopper company?
I've often thought of doing this, but wonder if there are any legit ones or if they are all scams.
Victoria's Secret models are sooo young!
Does anyone else get Victoria's Secret catalogs, and do you think the models are too young? I just came in from getting my mail, and a new catalog arrived with "New Dream Angels" on the cover. The model is a girl, in my opinion. If that young lady is older than 14 or maybe 16 at the most, I'd be surprised. I'm 46, and I don't expect VS to use middle-aged or elderly models, but it would be nice if they were at least adults!

You've misread. John Assaraf is the Secret theorist who
I'm not talking about her actual killer.
The man who teaches The Secret said that everyone wishes everything that happens to them into their life.
Larry King was skeptical and the man insisted. So, Larry King used this as an example and asked if he believed then, using his own theory, that Jessica Lunsford wished her own torture and murder into her life. John Assaraf said YES.
Brady Bunch. Victoria's Secret or Fruit of the Loom?

Shopping
No, no Christmas shopping here. We are Jewish so that would be kind of weird. :) Channukah a minor Jewish holiday, and celebrated quietly in our home with small gifts each night for the little one (she's 4) and the other two (15 and 17), they get one medium to large gift (i.e. ipod, dvd player.)
I'm glad I don't have to deal with all the "hoopla" that seems to surround Christmas. How do you all focus on the meaning of your holy day with all the..stuff??..that seems to go along with Christmas?
Well, not actually shopping but tell you what I have done
I am on a mission and I mean get on the train or get left behind. I have the dinner for everyone here this year. I have painted rooms, bought new furniture, had new tile put in 3 rooms, getting new counters for my kitchen, got new carpet put in master bedroom and closet, bought new China for the dinner- I started all this in January knowing full well what I wanted to accomplish. I am an Aries and believe me when I tell you, I want things done yesterday. I should have all I want accomplished by that time. I have a honey-do list for hubby- he has put off a few things but better get with the program.
No - she went shopping.
She's a shopper. :oD
But she can also wear it to a Renaissance Fair. Not sure if this is the one she goes to, but something like this.

Shopping
As a good start to ending this bad habit, maybe you could return some of the outfits that have the tags on and just keep one as that "someday" outfit.
As far as food, do you make a list when you go out shopping? Maybe you could make a budget/grocery list and do your food shopping that way. It may be easier for you to control your bad habit if you go this route.
Hope some of these ideas help you.
mystery shopping
Mystery shopping...Has anyone taken part in any of these jobs with a reputable company?
Mystery Shopping
How are you paid? Is it a reimbursement thing? Also, did you pay a membership fee? Thanks!
re:mystery shopping
I belonged to a few. I rarely did the shops. Some only pay like 10 or 20 dollars. Some are not fun. Many were too far away. And a lot of gas stations for some reason, for example you had to take pictures with a digital camera of the inside if they had a store, certain areas outside, the bathroom, etc. One was a vacuum shop - I don't even remember what that one entailed, didn't do it. The restaurant ones are nice, free meal for 2 usually, but of course not too many of those! Free membership for the ones I joined. Definitely not a dream job to make lots of money. Could be interesting though and get you out of the house.
Do your shopping online.
I've been doing all my Xmas shopping online for 6 years now. Way better than dealing with the crowds at malls and stores.
Internet shopping
Does anyone else who works from home use the internet for most of their shopping or to surf the web during work? I had a MT service owner who complained to me that he had a hard time getting his "girls" to work since implementing the internet - that they spent their work time on QVC or HSN. I never thought about going to other sites (other than for references) while working, but apparently this is a big pull for some of us - I just can't imagine having time to shop while trying to work.
I'd take a friend shopping with you.
She can help you try new things that you might not think to. I did this for a friend and she got a bigger reaction than the bride, LOL. Okay, that's because she'd lost 100 lbs, but everybody was excited about the dress we chose. She hadn't lost all her weight yet, and she might have rejected the dress just because a back slit showed her calves, which looked wonderful, but she didn't know it. Then we picked out jewelry. A salesman was also very helpful. She was stunning and it was so much fun.
Well, I have a large shopping bag (sm)
hanging in the spare room closet and have about 4-5 little stocking stuffers already purchased and in there. Does that count?
Going to shopping at IKEA
so we can start organizing my daughter's unbelievably messy room
Mattress shopping
Anyone have an opinion? Pillow top? Memory foam? I currently have moderately priced pillow top that I bought last winter that just goes on top of the mattress. I have been able to fluff it up until just recently, but there doesn't seem to be any more fluffing to be done.
Mattress shopping
Hi, had a pillow top (trying to give away, are you close) and husband hated it. I liked the snuggling sensation but he just complained and complained. Finally had to shut him up and bought a standard mattress. UGH Kept the mattress in a latex wrap the entire time, it is looking for a new home before going to the dump.
Christmas Shopping
If anyone here is interested in some fun Christmas shopping with an MT who has a store on eBay, please use this web address to go right to my ebay store: sallyglamourgirl.com
If you buy anything from me either in the store or at regular auction and let me know you're from this board I'll give you 15% off! Happy Holidays! Love being an MT for over 13 years, but also love eBay:):):)
Agree! Won't see me shopping on any Fri. or Sat. until after
