Has anyone here who has run a successful business thought about -- or already has -- closed the doors after hitting too many rough spots?

I'm talking about people like me who pay rent, pay lawyers, pay staffers, pay freelancers, pay... well, pay everyone first and pay yourself last.

If you think you get paid first as a business owner, please don't reply.

I want to hear from people who have lost too many accounts, been sued, partners or employees stole from you, rents too high, revenue too low, getting too old, etc.

I'd like to hear what would push you over the edge to quit, or if you have quit, I'd like to know what you're doing now and how you feel about "working for someone else". Yes, I know you're always working for someone else.

But now you don't have to pay the bills, fix the computers, put up with childish and inexperienced workers, non-paying clients, etc.

Yes, as you can tell, I'm thinking about calling it quits and taking the easy way out: taking a staff job with benefits.

and now I want to tell you there is an organization called messies.com (I think) - I heard about it five years ago and there is also messies anonymous which is alot like the 12-step program that I heard about.

You can Google the issue - *companies that help messy people get organized*

That's my only suggestion because maybe he's NOT a passive- aggressive and I merely assumed that (?) - If I did, I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend....however, I am not convinced as yet that I did make an error. 

Movie I laughed out loud to most recently was Hostel.  Way creepy movie/plot but still just couldn't stop myself when that girl's eyeball was bouncing off her cheek.

Definitely - Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Road to Wellsville, O Brother, Shrek

There must be some way to put parental control/lock on that computer so the kid can't access those tawdry sites. He's probably smarter than us and can hack into the pentagon's computer by now!  Cat 

educated at all? Do you have a job? If you live in a community property state you are entitled to half of the household. If you have children you will more than likely get child support, sometimes alimony. You may have to pare down your lifestyle a bit, but what is more important, material things or being healthy and happy emotionally? I got out of a horrible, abusive marriage that I guarantee would rival any of your experieneces. If you don't have any family how about friends, church members, etc., who can help you along. Save some money, put it aside. Either do something proactive, get some counseling or get rid of him. Also, have any of you thought that maybe you may be partially to blame for how you are treated by the man in your life? It works both ways, men aren't always the B@#$ards in the relationship.

Warning....!!!!

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday:

'WARNING FROM POLICE - BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.  When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the m iddle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of  your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off  in your car.  And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.  So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Please keep this going

I took the bait and sent away for the free 30-day trial of Raw Minerals makeup.  I normally use Bare Minerals, but this product was a bit cheaper and had some good performance reviews on the internet so I figured I'd at least try it (and if I don't like it, I can send it back and not be charged for it).

Has anyone here tried it and, if so, any opinion of it?  I ordered mine Friday and it arrived today (speedy shipping, huh?).  If you've used it, any advice on application, or is it just like Bare Minerals?

TIA for your thoughts and opinions, ladies!!!

Meatloaf with a tomato gravy,fried okra,mashed potatoes,Squash casserole and corn bread stx ,banana puddin' !!!
