Hm. I need to find a way to make extra money that doesn't involve working retail or selling my ass.

Find one of those "We'll eBay it for you!" companies and see if you can get a part-time job writing item descriptions? I know a couple people who do that.

I'm walking over to the doctor's office to ask for information in the morning. I'm so not looking forward to being bullied, which I just know will happen.

What time? I'll come with.

Hooray for backup!

They're only open from 9-1, I was heading over at noon.

Oh, I'd like to see people try and bully both Kristen and Allyson.

Allyson, do you have any special talents? Can you sew or paint or make jewelry, or anything like that? People will buy anything on eBay...

ita, that's ok. DX and Daniel Jensen helped, the possesed EHD has been safely (I assume) ejected. DJ suggested I defrag my hard drive overnight - any idea how I do that?

Um. I'm sort of funny.

Whale Rider star is pregnant.

Eeeeeek!

Allyson, hope you know I wasn't being sarcastic - I'm serious. Make something, or even better, sell stuff you already have. A couple years ago I decided to sell off the collection of Barbie dolls I'd had forever, simply because I was tired of moving them from one apartment to another to another... I made a nice chunk of change. Think of it as a virtual garage sale.

Anyway, I'm headed to bed, seeing as I have to get up again in like 6 1/2 hours to go visit my sickly mom. Did sumi tell you all about my Mom? It was in my LJ, but anyhow, long story short cause I really am tired: Three weeks ago my Mom had to have emergency surgery for a perforated bowel. The surgeon took out a huge chunk of her bowel, and she had to have a colostomy. Fortunately, the colostomy IS reversible - hopefully she can have the reversal in January. She was very very sick, but she is MUCH better now. I'm more worried about her emotional state than her physical one - she's having trouble dealing with the realities of being only 48 and having a colostomy. But she's a trooper, and she's going to be just fine. If anyone wants the long version, check out my LJ. I don't update it frequently, but when something important happens I usually post.

Goodnight all.

Bf's parents started dating when she was 14 and he was 16. Got married when she was just 18 and she had their first kid at 19. Still together, but I think they're the only couple I know who got together that young and are still together.

There are people who will write fetching ebay descriptions for a nominal fee? Ye GAWDs I need this service. I've got the photos, and know html and I'm not afraid to use it!

But I keep getting stuck on the words.

I've explored the 'assistants' route and a bit averse to giving up quite that big a chunk of the take.

Any thoughts on how much such writing would/should run?
