Work From Home

I have been directed to so many at home work offers. But they all end the same, "to complete this offer for work from home please complete this offer my chosing one or more of the following. Once you have completed this offer you will recieve free information on work at home employment." I hate that. It says free but clearing its anything but.

http://www.safesurveysites.com Its what I do and it’s worked out pretty well. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public’s opinion. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER.

The sites don’t get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let’s say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.

They don’t need any information other than your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month.

Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. I give you my word that they pay.

I’m a career-oriented woman who fully enjoys getting out there and taking care of business, which essentially manifests itself in my thorough/semi-obsessive ways of handling career, education, and money matters (ie paying bills as soon as they arrive, keeping tabs on finances, etc.). My husband is a more artsy type who earns way less money than I do and doesn’t make finances/career his priority in life. Things haven’t always been this way - there were days when we were both young and adventurous and couldn’t care less about our bank account balance. However, time has passed, and it seems as though I have matured in that regard whereas he still has a lot more catching up to do.

This inevitably has led to a situation where I’ve been trying to guide my husband, whether by nudging him to forward a link for a better job, or by telling him to enroll in some self-development classes. While he welcomes that kind of nudging, it has created a serious unbalance in the relationship. I’m stressed out because I feel like I have to be responsible for not only myself, but for guiding him as well. And he is stressed out because not only is he pulling in way less in terms of income, but I’m constantly telling him what to do. This has essentially developed a major source of conflict for us, to the point of irreconcilability.

The reality of the situation is that even though he’s a fun-loving guy, he tries and means well, so I can’t possibly write him off as someone who is just plain lazy. On the other hand I’d also like to see a stronger partner on my side, so that I wouldn’t always have to initiate necessary appointments, etc.

So I guess my question is how to manage such differences in career and motivation? More importantly, when do you know that you are just plain incompatible and might as well not waste time on each other? The emotions are certainly still there because we have had many good memories together, but I just don’t want to "waste" my life living with someone who can’t inspire me.

You are under the impression that you are more correct than he is. Maybe you aren’t. Maybe leaving him to care for himself, instead of doing everything, will allow him to stand on his own (or not), but you’ll only be doing exactly what you want to.

My husband and I are dealing with some issues along these lines. I’ve backed way off and I’m letting him deal with things as he pleases more. My standards aren’t those of the world.

Maybe you need to relax. You can have high standards for yourself, but you don’t get tot set them for the whole world.

Marriage counseling is a really good idea.

I’m looking for any legitimate work from home jobs such as testing or playing video games, taking calls, typing, etc. I am not looking for any scams, get rich quick schemes, or make $$$ in one hours. Just some real honest work that I can do from home without having to leave my baby because I am a stay at home mother of 3. Just looking for something extra to do with some extra income. I’m open to anything…legal and legit. Thank you in advance!

Why not be a writer for your own blog? That way nobody will scam you and you can earn a little bit of money while having fun.

Now there are of course a variety of theisms, but lets compare and contrast some theists with atheism. For the purposes of this thread I am not even trying to discuss the veracity of the claims of the various belief systems

1. If you are a christian you believe that most of humanity will burn in hell for all eternity, your loved ones, perhaps you own children will be tortured for all eternity while you sit in heaven, groveling and worshiping the very deity that put them in hell

If you are an atheist you are freed from this aweful belief.

2. If you are a buddhist you believe that this life is just a series of harships and tests that you must repeat again and again until you achieve perfection. A long cycle of reincarnations, each time making the same struggles and trials.

If you are an atheist you know you simply have to enjoy and relish this life.

3. If you are Jewish (or Christian) you believe in the Old Testament God…you must make up excuses (euphemistically called ‘apologetics’) explaining why your God murdered babies, ordered genocide, allowed slavery in his chosen people, ordered the death penalty for trivial offenses, etc.

If you are an atheist, you have no need to make excuses for the primitive war God worshiped by ancient hebrew sheep herders.

4. If you are muslim you believe in a lifestyle that is total subservience for women, very little human rights, and that treats non believers as lesser beings.

As an atheist you are free from all that and can join the modern world.

5. As any sort of theist you find yourself giving your hard earned money so some ‘minister’ can pontificate and tell you how to live, from an elaborate pulpit in a church that looks more like some eastern potentates palace. You give up your time every week for listening to this man tell you how to live. You let others make major decisions for you.

As an athiest you are free from all of that. You spend your money and your time how you see fit. And you make your own decisions about life.

Now with all of that, why would anyone NOT want to be an atheist?

atheism is freedom . religious dogma chains the mind to stone age superstitions.

Can my boss fire or lay me off a month before my baby is due? I work for a small company and they do not offer Maternity leave, sick leave, Vacation time or anything else. After I have my baby I do not plan on returning. But can they fire me or force me to give them an exact date when i’m leaving?

They can fire you if you are not doing your job properly, or if you are not showing up to work. Your job is not safe just because you are pregnant, they just can’t use your pregnancy as a reason for firing you.

As far as I am aware it is your legal right to take maternity leave, even if it is unpaid. However, if I am wrong and you just plan on quitting, you may be reqired to give at least two weeks notice before quitting and yes you will have to give an exact date. They can not fire you "just because" but if you do not give two weeks notice and you just leave, then they can fire you.

It would be in your best interest to just put in your two weeks notice and leave on good terms. At least this way if you decide to return to work they may take you back or at least give you a good reference.

im four months pregnant and my boss is giving me a hard time. hes always making comments about how i need to speed things up and peform all duties no matter what. even when i have a doctors appointment i give me a week or two an advance to take off he says it’s fine no problem but when the day comes to when i dont show up for work and when i return he complains and says that its a problems( but i dont understand then why he gives me permission then complain )
and always threating to hire someone that could perform faster than me. hes always picking on me and making comments in front of other employees, can he do that what can i do i know i have rights please advice thanks

It is wrong. Keep a record of everything that he does with time and date. Let him know (very discreetly and quietly) that this is discrimination and it’s not acceptable anymore. Keep up with your work and maintain a very professional attitude. If other employees see that you’re doing a good job and you’re good to be around, they will support you.

Also, although you’re probably very excited about your pregnancy, other people may not share the joy. Try keeping your excitement and complaints under wraps at the office. It’s not the appropriate place to air out all the news. The more you point out how pregnant you are, the more it may draw attention to how you are different from the rest of the work team and that could cause more trouble.

i know this is true for the animals…but doesnt this hold true for human also..i mean the diseased people are always living in misery, the poor people who cant earn much are always sad..while the rich famous and the goodlooking have the best in life…people with autism dont have achance in this life to compete with the other people..fat people cant live their lives happily..just because they are fat. So only the people who are by socety’d standards considered fit survive happily…

Isnt it sad but true…what are your opinions on this?

I know happiness is all in the mind…but this thought just struck my mind….?
dr.r i am talking about happiness bacuse we are no longer animals that only the fittest that kill and eat someone survive…m not talking all about physical out here..we as human are emotional beings, thus our survival depends on that…n ya the emotionally happy ppl live more….there i get my answers!!!…so i think we need to be emotionally happy no matter what to make ourselves fit to survive.

"Survival of the fittest" & happiness are two completely different subjects!

My brother is fat, poor & depressed but his depression has nothing to do with his weight or lack of money. It has to do with something which would depress a rich & trim person just as much. He lost his 4 year old boy 2 years ago.

And he is fat because he chooses to eat whatever he wants to & to not exercise. And he is poor because he chooses to spend money on things he can’t afford & he is always getting himself fired.

And my autistic neice is one of the happiest children I have ever known! She is a delight to be with!

How many rich people kill themselves are die of drug overdoses? Does it sound like they are always happy?

I am looking for a work from home business. I do NOT want to fill out surveys. I dont want to have to pay any money up front. Are there any businesses like this around?

Here is an affiliate program that is legitimate, you don’t have to fill out surveys, and it costs nothing to get started. You can work this business on-line and off-line. You can build a nice residual income.

I retired last year and wanted something to do from home that also created extra income. I became an affiliate with Valley Telco. The opportunity is free and it is working for me. Simply click on the opportunity link on the following site for more info. http://www.valleytelco.com

My mom lives with my brother that is mentally ill and she gets $428 a week from social security or $22,260 a year. This means she only gets a little more than $10 an hour if she work all year. My mom is losing her memory and has depended on me to send in her bills for about 15 years. We used most of her assets like stocks she had. My mom never had any interest in bills and finances until she sees how little money she has left. I try to tell her how much the cost of things have gone up but she doesn’t want to believe that this much money had to be spent.

I wish I could live in and afford a house while earning $10 an hour but I can’t see how I could. My mom’s house is paid for but it costs $4,000 each year alone for property taxes. My mom feels she had enough say 20 years ago to cover expenses but she doesn’t get the fact of how much prices have gone up for everything. Can someone expect to afford to live in a house while only earning $10 an hour with no other income?

With the current prices, $10+ an hour is not enough to sustain a house. Even though it might be mortgage free, utilities, cost of food, repairs, medicines, etc. will consume that income very quickly. Keep all receipts on expenditures and show your mother what it is costing. In these times, government and business keep raising prices instead of holding to current prices or even some reduction. It is called greed and the public is the ones who have to suffer. You can thank the present administration and Congress for making the changes that are making the economy worse.

27yo guy. really need a sense of direction, goals that will motivate me, dreams to work towards.
i just can’t seem to decide what i want to achieve in life. i know that once i decide what i actually want i will be focused, motivated and purposeful but at the moment i feel like a ship in the ocean without charts or a compass.
i’m not keen on settling down and starting a family for a long while yet. i’m not particularly motivated by earning huge amounts of money so a life dedicated to that is out.
i really just want to live a life that i can find purposeful and rewarding but not sure how.
any suggestions?

Maybe you could sit down with a pen and some paper for a bit and work on your goals. Maybe make 2 columns, one for things you enjoy and are good at, the other for things you don’t enjoy and aren’t so good at. Using those lists you could work out which jobs/hobbies would be best for you, then find out about how to get that job and about clubs in your area that cater for those interests.

Then you could set yourself a few long-term goals (eg where you want to be in a few year’s time) with short-term goals as well (short-term goals help keep you focused on your long-term goals and they help you stay motivated because you’ve always got something to aim for in the very near future)

Good luck!
