    Target often will clearance items that are still current, but that they no longer wish to carry in their inventory.  I picked up several Garmin GPS units at 75% off and was able to sell them easily for large profit.

  • How to Get Laid Off: A Step-By-Step Guide   16 years 2 weeks ago

    I love this article. lol. I was once in this situation where an internship trapped me into a contract, if i insisted on leaving id have to pay back most of it. That was a finmarkets job. Oh what to do. I did sooome of this stuff, lol. But my fave, was to do a stupid spreadsheet-x to BEYOND perfection. For days. And nothing else. Lord, mega formulas that run in circles, graphs would be 3d from designed on photoshop, stupid things would look FAR better that the banks annual report. I remember they'd wait 4 days for a list of 20 certain hedge funds, metallic presentation as if for God. Lol. You can guess, this indian guy had enough and I was free to pursue my destiny :-).

  • 3 Key Points in Making an Allergy-Free Dog Diet   16 years 2 weeks ago

    You should take out the rice and replace it with leafy greens and appropriate fruits and vegetables.  Dogs have a difficult time digesting grains (of all kinds) due to their shorter digestive tracts, and the grains also stick to their teeth more causing accelerated decay.

    I've been feeding my dog (rescued from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana - and yes, such horrible things do exist!) raw for the past year, and he went from an itchy, perpetually hungry, reactive dog to a much calmer dog with no health issues.  Also, he's of a breed that is predisposed to pancreatitis, and this is a great way to limit his fat intake and to make sure he gets only good fats.

    I always wonder if people plan on claiming this as income and paying the taxes on it...as you are legally required to (not for the whole price, but for the profit - so buy at $10, sell at $20 = $10 in taxable income).

     

     

  • How to Get the Most Out of Your Gmail Account   16 years 2 weeks ago

    What I actually like the most about Gmail is the ability to use it through other email programs.  I can't stand the Gmail interface (I REALLY HATE IT!) but Gmail lets me use Mozilla's Thunderbird or Microsoft's Outlet with my various Gmail accounts and the setup is very easy.  Ultimate flexibility makes Gmail the best.

  • Cheap and Simple Sunburn Remedies That Really Work   16 years 2 weeks ago

    Did it itch right away after you applied it? Or are you experiencing itching overall?  Unless you're allergic to aloe (which is rare), I would imagine you are just having the normal "itches like Heck" phase that comes with a burn.  Your dead skin is going to itch until it comes back new again.

     I live in FL and always have trouble with sunburn. Especially when my children go to a friend's house and do not use enough sunscreen. Thanks so much for the great info!

  • Buy. Sell. Make a Profit. Thanks Office Depot.   16 years 2 weeks ago

    Oddly inspiring post. I've often wondered if simply buying items on sale and then reselling at retail cost could actually be worth more than the hassle. I suppose it's just a matter of finding the best sales.

    Yes I do Xin. Sorry about that, fixed it.

  • Find Your Passion   16 years 2 weeks ago

    Hi,

    I had a crazy passion for learning Russian. I still love it, but my motivation isn’t alive.

    What I find is that if I am trying to talk Russian and the Russian I am speaking to begins to speak in English, I automatically revert back to English. So I think “Why do I need to learn?” This is why I prefer to have just a couple of female Russian friends who have no idea how to speak English. It forces me to keep practicing.

    My wife is Russian. I met her on Skype and we met for a holiday in Thailand. Amazing trip, but now we only speak in English (she needs it if she is going to survive here and work). And because i'm still learning, if I force myself to speak (I can actually hold a deep conversation in Russian), if I don't know words, I go back to English and then have to force myself to go back in, even though these Russians know English.

    However, when I started learning to speak Russian, one of the best CD’s I bought taught me to speak romantically in Russian. Sure there were useful day to day lessons and great grammar lessons, but I loved the romantic Russian. It REALLY helped when I met my girl in Thailand and when I travelled to Russia and met her family and friends. Once again, she doesn't require that learn Russian. She prefers to speak to speak in English.

    Anyway, this program, which I highly recommend is at http://speakrussian.bilstonaudio.com . It's awesome if you want to get a jumpstart in the language. What I found is that after I mastered this series, learning all the past, future and gender versions of other words was a breeze. PLUS I know how to speak romantically in Russian.

    Hope it helps.

    Maybe they should have changed the dismal grim on Franklin's face. It's like he knows that his value is a bit shaky. On the other hand, who knows if money with smiling faces would be helpful...

    here’s a good location from a trusted site—just read the sellers feedback from previous buyers before you buy, and there are a few other sellers offering the same thing too—for a great gift card at Kohl’s….the url is kinda long but you can just cut and paste it in your browser.

    Living your passion is a daily pursuit. As you evolve,it will evolve and you will be pushed to expand yourself. There are no easy answers but it such a worthy pursuit. Start by making ONE move and the road will reveal itself. By the way, it will be dark at first. Keep walking anyway.
