It's really frustrating to be a procrastinator. Like when I get up in the morning I list tons of things that i have to do or accomplish for the day. I actually have all the time of the day because I don't have a job, Im not...

I have been looking at these and doing some research on which ones are okay, but I'd love to hear from folks who actually have them. I'm talking about the generic tablet devices made to look like iPads. There are hundreds of...

firemom31 Thanks for your input. I have pretty much decided against oneof these and will keep looking for a good deal on a regular netbook. Your info was very helpful.

I have a friend who has a boyfriend for almost two years. One day, she found some love letters of his boyfriend to his best friend. My friend really loves his boyfriend and willing to accept him. But would you rather do that or...

firemom31 I found out there was a major problem on our honeymoon, when he spent it watching television. We discussed it and he never admitted he was gay, just that he had issues. He agreed to go to counseling, but it didn't help because he wasn't honest with the...

firemom31 I checked them out of eBay and they run around $300 on there, definately too rich for my blood. I just need something simple (although I would LOVE to have one of the Galaxy tabs) to check email and keep up with eBay through the day. I just can't justify...

A friend of mine has a Delstar netbook and her kid plugged the wrong charger into it (with higher voltage). It just shut down and now does nothing. I know this is bad, but do you think it's fixable?

firemom31 I told my friend her laptop is probably toast, now if I can just get her to accept that fact! Thanks for your reply.

firemom31 I was hoping for something inexpensive, I don't think her laptop is worth much even new, but I'm sure you're right. Thanks.

I will try to be brief...my husband has lump on his thigh that has been getting bigger for the last 10 days. He saw his Dr today, who was very concerned and sent him for x-rays this morning. The Drs office called this afternoon...

firemom31 Another update: After consultimg the radiologist, the dr has decided he has no idea what the mass is. He referred hubby to an orthopedic surgeon. The ortho wants an MRI as soon as possible, even though my husband is a kidney donor and the contrast dye puts his...

For the past couple of weeks sales have been slow for almost all sellers. I was very excited to see that in the past few days seven of my items had been purchased, one of them being rather expensive. In all the time I've been...

firemom31 I don't consider the clock to be counting down until I provide my buyer with an accurate and final invoice. If I don't send it right away, that's my fault, not the buyer's. It's refreshing that you admit to being slow at paying sometimes, I appreciate your...

firemom31 I agree. There is no good way to tell if the buyer is a slow/no pay, since all buyers feedback says 100%. I really think, of all the bad decisions eBay has made, that one is the worst. They took away what little ability we had to protect ourselves from...

Lately I was a bit put out, to put it mildly, that the winner in an Ebay auction of mine failed to pay for the item so I never received any money, despite finding out the postage, etc, beforehand. Funnily enough, I hardly...

firemom31 You still pay a listing fee, but it is refunded if the bidder doesn't pay. They do, however, allow non-store sellers to list 50 items permonth for free. eBay also now charges the final value fee based on both the sale price and the shipping combined, so either...

firemom31 Wanted to give you all an update. The Dr called today and said the mass appeared to be "relatively benign" and wants to consult with the radiologist and get back with us. While this is far from being in the clear, it is certainly hopeful. The prayers are...

I'm talking about pulling out at the last minute here. In my case it was on Ebay. Someone bid for an item right at the death, won it, I sent an invoice..no payment. Now, this person is a "newbie" so I gave them the benefit...

firemom31 eBay is indeed a mystery in many ways...lol. They will, however, refund your initial listing fees if/when your bidder doesn't pay. Too bad people have to do that sort of thing. If something happened, they should have been adult enough to let you know, and take...

firemom31 I agree 100% although I believe even those born again will have a great deal of suffering on earth before He comes for us. There is so much poverty and violence, and many godly people are suffering now. The only was to endure is to know that our time on earth...

firemom31 I wonder why it is that we forget so easily, even though He has come through for us so many times? 11 months ago we lost 2/3 of our income, and we were struggling before that happened. Every pay I am sure we will not make it another month, but there is always...

firemom31 Thank you for your comments. Our facility (including the clinics) encourage patients to stop using the ER as a clinic and call the doctor instead. This is done in an effort to reduce overcrowding caused by non-emergency cases. I understand the basic premise...

firemom31 There's also a free service I use called Ping-o-matic. I ping my blog every time I add something new and it really seems to help. Just google it and you will find it, it's very easy to use.
