When I have $250 budgeted for a hotel room, based on the reservations, I don't want to be told it's now $300 because debit card, and you'd better have $600 in your checking account, because we're holding $300 more until next week. I don't operate with that kind of cushion.

With the Debit, I know where I spent my money because the receipts go in our check register. With cash, it flows through my fingers. Credit card is as easy as debit on that regard.

I've been required to pay anything from $50 to a doubled bill as a security hold, when using a debit card. They refund it about a week later. This is the case everywhere from Atlanta to Chicago.

I use a credit card for one thing: reserving hotel rooms. Hotels shaft you on debit cards.

Alternate. An alcoholic drink, a glass of water. I have never had a hangover. Gatorade or pedialyte before bed helps too.

If she likes the boys, I have a fair number. The only really kinky het I have is Hard Reboot, and it's fantasykink, not realitykink. http://www.brooksandsparrow (and if she leaves a comment on this livejournal post, telling what she wants and where to send it, I'll send along free book.)

of course my next line is "I want the pattern to that!"

For the right recipient, that is awesome.

Tell her "Honey, this is terrible. Let me get you some GOOD kinky books." And go find some. (I do give recs. I know a lot of small press erotica authors)

Not really. i have teens who are VERY hard to shop for, and parents who don't see a lot of them. A Hot Topic Gift Card saves a lot of grief, especially when the kid has a two inch growth spurt between the shopping and the receiving.

I have an English degree. I worked as a library paraprofessional for 5 years. I walked off the job and went to truck driving school.

I have an English degree and have worked ever crap job around. I totally am behind trade school. Going to truck driving school earned me more than double what using my degree as a library paraprofessional did.

Germophobe.

Also, remember, most semis are governed at 60-70 MPH, with most of the biggest, Schneider, JB Hunt, Werner and Swift, governed at 62.

I'm brown bagging this week since I have a steady schedule (i'm an inventory clerk). PB&J, on 12 grain bread: 35c. bag of chips, 35c. apple, 30c. can of soda 20c. $1.20 for lunch. A sandwich alone is $2-4, Subway has a $4 lunch deal that is basically the same, sans apple, with 20 oz soda. Okay, $6 for lunch vs.…

I write romance novels and short stories (three anthology releases this month!), have a mostly crochet based etsy shop and have moved into small press publishing. I'm only semi-employed, so I do a lot of side business.

In Memphis, we have a fair sized pagan community and the local schools are not the friendliest to our kids. There has been much planning and discussion of actually doing an umbrella school, and applying for vouchers.

Agreed. On days when I need directions, I need them for work or errands and I need them at once. I have to be places at a set time and have neither gas nor money for getting lost. (I had to find my way to a bank I don't often use today)

Actually, I am looking for full time work, but not a career, which is why I'm reading this. I'm trying to figure out why I can't even get a cashier job at Kroger.

What if there is nothing that distinguishes you from any other candidate, that is acceptable to put on your resume?
