Mommy_Money Getting merchandise from Rent a Center and other rent to own places is one of the worse things you can do for your pocket. You should send it all back. I know it sounds harsh but, if you want to do better financially and, make the best of the money that you do...

Mommy_Money That is very sad. When my son and I go out we interact with one another. When my daughter was a child we would have our lunch dates and have a great time together also. But, let's back up a little here. Before we start wanting to smack someone let's try to be...

My daughter, aged 14 years & 7 months wanted a part time job, as quite a few teenagers do. The law here says that the minimum age for a teenager to be employed is 14years & 9 months. Many wait until they are 15 before they offer...

Mommy_Money I think it is wonderful that your daughter is being so responsible. I think that as long as it does not interfere with school or her health she should work as much as she posibly can. I would just make sure that she has some written goals as well as a plan for...

Do you use Auctiva or similar sites for listing your auctions?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 15 Sep 07

I use auctiva because it has image hosting and it allows me to put multiple pictures in my auction. Do you use one of these listing sites? Why? What features do you like the best?

3 responses

Mommy_Money I use Auctiva. I like it because I can schedule the listing without having to pay an additional fee. Ebay has enough fees as it is. I also store alot of my item photos there too. The templates are great too but, I think sometimes it really slows me down. I...

Do you really think a woman can change a man?

lorelai @lorelai (1558) • Italy 30 Nov 07

We have all been raised with stories about Cinderella, Sleeping beauty, now Barbie. In all these stories there's always a wonderful prince who wants exactly the protagonist. In the real world usually boys change girls very often...

Mommy_Money I have to say no way! A woman can't change a man and a man can't change a woman. People don't change because of others changing them. People change because they choose to change. I would be very nervous about someone that was so adamant about remaining single...

Mommy_Money Yes, I have days like that especially in the fall and winter. The first day I feel that way I give myself permission to just stay in the bed. Sometimes we just need a day to wind down, rejuvinate and, relax. If I feel that way for a couple of days sometimes...

Mommy_Money I am a mom. I think the government is going a little too far. Spanking is fine. Beating is a whole other story. I think the decision to spank or not to spank needs to be left up to the parents. Unless the government is going to do all of the raising of all the...

Mommy_Money Wow, that is a deep question. I think the thing women's lib was supposed to do was give women choices and create equality. Now, with that said, if there are neglected children, and yes there certainly are. They are neglected by their mothers as well as the...

I'm tired of Christmas being Pure Marketing!!!

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 26 Nov 07

I know what you are going to think, that I am one of those resented Christmas haters, but I am not. The fact is that most brands, most media, everything, start with the Christmas campaign NOW. What for? to sell more, and it really...

Mommy_Money "Becoming a massive marketing event"? How bout it already is and I am sick of it. Like you I don't mind the religious connotation. In fact, I thought the purpose was to celebrate the birth of Christ. Don't know what happened to that concept. I guess it got...

Mommy_Money I have to agree with you. I love craft shows but, I draw the line at paying more than a couple of dollars. I have even seen show that charge $20 to get in. That is just rediculous. The argument is that it will discourage the lookie-loos from just going into...

Does Mother Know Best??

nica269 @nica269 (1395) • United States 20 Nov 07

Do mothers always know what's best for their children? I think that the majority of the time they do, at least when their little. When they get older and independent, then that's another story. But what do you think? Does mother...

Mommy_Money I think for the most part, most mothers do know best. However, we have to know that it all depends on the mother. I have a mother who is loving and very wise but, I have a dear friend who has a grandmother who is a former hooker and a mother who is a former...
