Being a door to door salesman is extremely tough. However, if you're good at it, it will set you up with skills that will benefit you for the rest of your life. Courage, tenacity, and the like. I've found that one of the best ways to do door to door sales is to just be straight up with people. You say, "I'm selling vacuums, are you interested?" You'll get a TON of "no" answers, but the people who tell you no won't waste any of your time.
My last book that I finished was The Brain That Heals Itself by Norman Doidge. I am currently reading his second book, The Brain's Way of Healing. But I am constantly using books for research.
You forgot Aggrevation! Make a board from cardboard or wood, use a drill to make holes to hold the marbles, and spray paint. If you use wood there may be some sanding, depending on the wood used. Pick up 2 dice and marbles in 4 to 6 colors. Fun, fun, fun!
I make my own pizza too, and was shocked how good the price for bread flour is. My Costco in Fort Wayne IN doesn't sell pepperoni though. It seems really weird for them not to have it since they make pepperoni pizza with it. Anyway, between the cheap cheese and yeast and flour I still save using Costco.
Honestly, I'm surprised that caregiver didn't make the list - from my experience, it's been one of the toughest jobs I've ever had, as the demands can and often do take their toll physically, mentally, and emotionally. And the pay is notoriously stingy. I have been working since early 2015 as a private, in-home, round-the-clock caregiver, for a 93 y.o. dementia patient, as opposed to her family allowing her to waste away in a nursing home. Despite my best efforts, she is now unable to do anything on her own, and is thus completely bed-bound and requires maximum assistance for everything. It can be very exhausting, let alone very lonely, as she has lost her ability to speak. Knowing she will eventually pass away is both a blessing and a curse, because her suffering will have ended, and she will be in a better place. As for myself, I will be out of a job. Definitely not for the faint-of-heart, and not something I would ever choose to pursue again, if I can help it. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the job, and take a certain degree of personal satisfaction in knowing I helped bring comfort to a fellow human being at the end of her life. But I would never want to trade places with her, that's for sure!
I've sold books on Amazon for a decade now, but I wasn't aware of their publishing e-books. This is something I'm interested in. Thanks for the article!
I received the same debit card from Netspend today that you were talking about. Even funnier it was addressed to my dog. Yes, that's what I said, my dog. While my two year old Australian cattle dog would love to go on a spending spree at PetsMart, it lets me know they do no research on the individual before sending out that card. She is not employed and does not have a checking account or social security number. If anything, it was good for a laugh when I got the mail today.
This happened to me in 2001. I was fired with no cause, no notice, no severance, and no warning nor evaluation- just like that- dumped in the street to starve.
I was also denied unemployment due to misconduct- I allegedly submitted false time sheets because the boss couldn't collect everything- a bunch of horse manure! And it was upheld by NYS- it pays to have a daughter that marries a hotshot attorney!
And the boss was angry at me for not cleaning out my desk fast enough because he wanted to get some tennis in at the country club!
To make a long story short, I literally ate out of the garbage for 8 months, and almost became homeless as I was 6 months behind on my rent.
If justice would prevail, this boss should get Lou Gehrig's disease. Nothing would give me more joy than to urinate into his mouth as he lies there helplessly on his deathbed.

Smart Women Finish Rich. It had some of the best goal-setting advice I've ever read.
I read a book about the history of basketball.
Welcome to the new economy.
The last book I read was Contagious. I prefer history and nonfiction books. My favorite book is Frankenstein because it's a great story.
The Martian by Andy Weir. Such a great read, even for those not science fiction or science-in-general types. Great humor.
Orange is the new black
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, it was very good!
The last book I read was Paper Towns
I am just finishing up Daydreams of Angels by Heather O'Neill. It is a really amazing collection of short stories, highly recommend.
The last book I read is called Crime Story. It discusses how the CSI team solves crimes. It is assassinating.
The last book I read was "What to Expect When You're Expecting".
I just checked eBay to see about water bottle caps. No kidding!!! Thanks for adding to the list!

I use coupons to buy candy.
