Off-Topic / Let's make monthly goal agendas

« on: January 02, 2014, 05:52:46 am »Message ID: 834991

Happy 2014 everyone!!! What are your goals for this year?

Now, put those goals on a time table and tell me what are your goals for the month?  Break those goals into small weekly tasks to achieve the monthly goal. I'll ask again in February to keep those who are interested on track.

My Jan goals are:

To lose 8 lbs (small steps: restart food diary, eat less, & work out one hour 4x per week)
To eat out less (small step: set aside a weekly takeout allowance)
To spend more time with my kids
To explore new affiliate marketing programs
To get more sleep
To get root canal and crown (small steps: call dentist, get quotes, comparative pricing)
To get into the habit of praying more

How bout you?!!!

I absolutely love the show.  It has to be my favorite show in the world.  But I understand that some may have a negative perception of it.  How do you feel about it and why?

Having an unforgiving heart can block your passage into heaven so I'm starting my spiritual journey with learning to forgive.  How do you do it?

Off-Topic / Tips to selling on Ebay?

« on: July 09, 2013, 06:35:41 am »Message ID: 763154

I plan to start an Ebay jewelry store this weekend.  Ebay has revised their TOS and way of doing business over the last few months.  Any up to date tips on how to turn a residual profit on ebay, retain returning customers, and gaining the attention of new customers?

Thanks!!

Off-Topic / How Do You Deal With Negative Family?

« on: July 08, 2013, 04:54:57 am »Message ID: 762661

Ok, here's the deal.  A couple of years ago I completely distanced myself from most members of my maternal side of the family.  There are a few I still talk to, but for the most part I stay to myself.  A cousin I look up to says this is hurting my kids and is doing nothing to break the pattern of dysfunction in our family.  Although I get what he's saying, I'm not willing to risk my kids' livelihood (or my sanity) trying to help a bunch of people who thrive on gossip, hating, and all things negative.

Last night, I finally visited a paternal uncle I reconnected with on FB a month ago.  My aunt just moved in with him and I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.  So I loaded up all the kids in the Navigator and off we go to some little house so far in the sticks my GPS stops working. I didn't mind at all. I'd heard my uncle's girlfriend get snappy on the phone in the background before, but I just chalked it up to her not knowing me and brushed it off.  We get there and they make comments I don't appreciate and I turn around just in time to see my uncle's gf whisper and giggle something to my aunt behind my back, who made it her business to inform me of something negative my dad said about me years ago when I gave birth to my first daughter one month after I turned( 17.

At that point, I said it was time to go.  They had the nerve to hug and compliment me on my body as I left and I concluded they are 2 faced just like the majority of the members on my mom's side.  So when I called my uncle to let him know we arrived home safely I told him that would be my last time visiting.  He was DEEPLY hurt.

Am I doing the right  thing??  I contemplated carrying on a separate bond with my uncle but I don't wanna cause problems with his gf.

Off-Topic / Free College

« on: July 03, 2013, 03:08:13 am »Message ID: 760315

I was just in a GREAT thread about procrastination and came across a fellow member who understandably and unfortunately had to put off her college plans due to using the money she had saved up to care for an ill child- don't moms rock?!. I took a few moments to look up free colleges and wanted to share this info with you all.  I wish I'd come across this info while I was in high school, but it's very fortunate that I'm now aware that there is such a thing as free college now because I have a daughter entering high school in a few months. Technology is wonderful!

There's also Job Corps (which some employers look specifically for graduates of).

Hope this helps someone!
