Good opportunities, if you do your homework.
We've kept our investments in utility companies, and those always do well. Not always the highest return, but steady. We look for companies that are investing more and more in environmentally friendly technologies. My son is 19 and has saved $1000 that he wants to put into the market. He's young enough to recover from any bad investment, and young enough to hold on for the long-haul good return. He's doing a lot of research, hoping to find something up and coming. I'm sure he'll learn a lot.
Offered the job..
Had a surprise phone interview today. I have to figure out how to afford the job now lol. I might keep my part-time transcription job that I make 20-30 an hour to sort of even out the low pay. I did get the idea that they would be trying to get me to work in their transcription department eventually where the pay is much higher.. I'd have to think hard about that. I am so bored with it. Maybe we can work out a part time schedule doing both..hmmm.
Since they offered, take them up on it -sm
it is great that they are willing to do that. As for the smell, it will probably take a while to get the smell out, clean the carpets, wipe down everything with cleaner/vinegar, etc. Smoke gets everywhere and lingers. A good air cleaner/filter may help get the smell out quicker too. I hate smoking and could never live with one. They will always reek of course, but if they are outside at least you don't have it around all the time and your clothes won't stink as well. Plus secondhand smoke is just as harmful as actual smoking.
I went to a psychologist who offered it.
I met with the psychologist for an initial visit and we figured out that my anxiety was more acute than my depression, and I didn't know how to relax. So he taught a relaxation technique and then I met with the biofeedback tech instead of him after that. She hooked me up to a machine that read how well I could do the exercises and from her feedback I learned how to relax. That's when I realized exercise caused that feeling also, especially if your rib cage is really working. Expanding those muscles with exercise seems to be a great trigger.
My husband offered to buy that too
maybe that will be on my christmas list. :)
I offered an explanation
I did not say every smart person has substance abuse problems or mental issues, I merely gave my opinion on how or why this may be so, since you seemed to think such scenarios were impossible.
First, i didn't ask, they OFFERED
some people just "amaze" you? Yea the ones that want to LIVE their life and not die from second hand smoke...
that's beside the point. I had to comment on that cause it was rude and i specifically asked if it was fair, and you had to be snippy.
They offered to smoke outside when I asked if they smoked. Im just wondering if I can keep MY stuff from smelling, in my room, stuff like that.
I think it's pretty rude of smokers to smoke inside when youre sharing with a nonsmoker anyway. You KNOW it stinks. have some class.
and yea it will be my choice to live there or not but I just had to respond to that
I was offered that option...
in second grade, to be promoted at Christmas break to 3rd grade. I was reading at a 5th-6th grade level. My mother, who had skipped a grade in elementary school, and then combined her 11th and 12th grades of high school in order to graduate during the depression and go to work, said "no." She said it wasn't a good experience for her socially and she couldn't allow it--and she was right, I would have probably ended up needing a tutor for mathematics, in addition to feeling out of place. I believe it's so great now that there are accelerated classes tailored to a child's strong points.
Heard she was offered Playboy as well.
Isn't this a sick country? Boy oh boy. Makes me ill.
I have seen them offered in VERY expensive housing markets -
I saw ads for 40-year mortgages offered when were on vacation in Hawaii a few years ago. My friend who lives in San Fran got one. The prices for houses in these markets is through the roof and it is the only way most people can afford anything at all. They are not offered any place I have seen where I live, which is AL. I agree with the poster below about maybe taking a loss on it with being in it for such a short period of time and wondering what the market might do and not having much equity in it when you go to sell. Remember to add in your closing costs because those are not cheap! I would just start calling around to banks. Most will be very eager to help you out. They love mortgages of any kind! :-)
my company offered me 10 yearly, is that low/fair?
Thanks in advance...it is probably low but I will still take it. Was just hoping someone else would share their info
thought you said you offered to or paid for your children's
if you had that kind of money, that does not seem to meet welfare criteria to me.
I offered up no excuses, simply said that ALL toddlers..
misbehave at some point in time. They are people like you and I and have bad days, like you and I.
Do you attend any free local concerts in the summer? Are any offered
