I was thinking of buying a foreclosure or sheriff sale property. Does anyone have any advice?
I am currently in the state of Pennsylvania and am looking for an investment property either here or in New Jersey. I understand that I would have to put work into most of these properties but I wanted to know if I bid on a property at a sheriff's sale do I have to have all of the money at the time of the sale or can I pay a percentage down and pay a mortgage on the rest? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!I was thinking of buying a foreclosure or sheriff sale property. Does anyone have any advice?
For a sheriff's sale the property has to be paid in full. It would be next to impossible to mortgage a sheriff's sale property as the reason for the sale is usually due to an unpaid lien on the property. While the lien would be expunged after the sale there may be additional interests (other liens) on the property. You must perform your due diligence prior to purchase. Anyone still residing at the property would be your responsibility to deal with (serving eviction notices). Most of these properties are undesirable investments although if you are willing to put the work into finding a property and performing the research it may be possible to find something that would provide positive returns down the line.I was thinking of buying a foreclosure or sheriff sale property. Does anyone have any advice?
I once had a customer that did this for a living. Typically he only had to have a deposit to put down. Just do your homework. If there are any liens on the property you will be responsible for paying them.
The best thing you can do to protect yourself is have a Title search done. You could end up buying more than what you bargained for.

Yes do your homework and make sure the property comes without strings attached. Learn basic things about houses like how to tell if it needs repairs or what kind of things to watch out for. Most foreclosure sales have no warranty or guarantees whatsoever so you have to learn how to do research yourself. Talk to a realtor before you go into this business!
Foreclosures are trustee sales and are all cash. Sheriffs sales have a right of redemption depending on your state up to 2 years. REO are homes that did not sell at the trustee sale (auction) and your best bet to get a Bank owned REO, they may even help you get a loan from them.
The rules vary from state to state %26amp; type of sale. You must understand 100% on what you are bidding for at the sale %26amp; what loans could possibly remain on the property %26amp; what liabilities you may inherit once you own the property.
Some states %26amp; auctions require 100% of the money at the sale. Others will require a deposit with the balance due very shortly.
Line up your lending sources, have a hard-money lender as a back up if you can't get traditional financing in time. If you have equity in your home get a HELOC.

Advice for an artist seeking to sell work?
My cousin is an amazing artist who currently works in construction. I don't want him to waste his gift but neither of us know how he might get started selling some of his work. We were thinking of things like street fairs or small shops. Any ideas?Advice for an artist seeking to sell work?
There's two basic routs you can take; online or local.
If you want to try and sell things online you'll need to set up an account with EBay or Etsy.com, scan or photograph his work and post it up there. You might reach a wider audience with this method, but you'll have to deal with shipping and whatnot, which isn't usually an issue if you're selling locally.
To go the local route, check out bulletin boards at any local collages with art programs, there should be postings about any upcoming shows/art fairs/etc. You could try locally owned restaurants and cafes, a lot of them will display works by local artists.Advice for an artist seeking to sell work?
Before you spend a lot of money on fees and booths, test sell items on zazzle.com or ebay and see what people want and how much they are willing to pay. then make more of them and sell them at the booths, take names of interested parties and create community of people to sell new works to. finally he will be too busy to take new customers and increase the price of his works.
Also maintain a copyright for your use so you can sell high res images of the works for your stock photography business. Sell it over and over!
Goodluck.
If your cousin has a computer and a scanner avaible to him, I would recommend an art site called 'DeviantART.com'.
http://www.deviantart.com/
Its free to sign up an account. You can upload your art easy. DeviantART features a place were you can sell prints of your art. Its a popular site, and people from all over who love art are swarming there. There are many people who would appreciate your cousin's art and buy it.
Hopefully that helps you.

Advice for a gay man new to the dating scene?
I recently broke up with my long term boy friend and I'm feeling ready to try dating again. He was my first and we started going out quite young, so I have never gone dating before. I really have no idea of where to find a date. I don't know any other single gay men, and I don't want to find people over the internet.
Any advice, hints or tips would be great. I live very close to Glasgow, just in case anyone knows of any good places to go.

My boyfriend is addicted to sugar, any advice to help get him off?
There's nothing more he likes to eat than candy and sugar drinks, the more sugar the better! He hates artificial sweeteners too! Any type!
It's affecting my diet because I have chronic fatigue syndrome and am not supposed to be eating sugar which I love as well.My boyfriend is addicted to sugar, any advice to help get him off?
you need to go to the food sectionMy boyfriend is addicted to sugar, any advice to help get him off?
lol i know how he may feel
but when he comes to your house replace sugar with salt and that should make him back off
Excuse the sympathetic chuckling over here. I have to watch the sugar too, and I love chocolate and ice cream!
I don't blame your boyfriend for not liking artificial sweeteners. A lot of them have an off taste, and some were originally developed as pesticides- something the companies that use the stuff won't tell you.
You could keep unsweetened drinks around, and keep sugar for him to add to them.
Otherwise, lead by example. Because it's pretty clear that your boyfriend isn't thinking about you when he does this.
What does this have to do with cats?
Just because your boyfriend eats it doesn't mean you have to. i was on a diet for a while where i was avoiding carbs but my husband loves pasta. I would make pasta for him and i would make myself something else. It was a lot of work. Usually sugar is in ready to eat foods so it is not like it is in the dinner that you cook and both share. You won't be able to get him to stop eating sugar unless he wants to like he wants to lose weight or something.
why is this in cats go to food
You should try talking to him, and explain how his eating sugar isn't good for you. If he cares about you he will be sensitive and watch what he eats around you.
If he comes over to your house make sure you don't have sugar just laying around.
As for him quitting all the sugar, the only way is for him to want to.
You can try and force him but the only truly successful way is for him to want to quite. Let him read info about diabetes and other sugar related diseases, this might scar him into cutting down.
Good luck=D

Advice needed about what is needed to start up a Reiki Healing practice please ?
I was thinking about opening up a small Reiki Healing practice - what minimum qualifications would I need to do this ?Advice needed about what is needed to start up a Reiki Healing practice please ?
I don't think any formal qualifications are required to scam people. Most 'healers' are ignorant of science, and routinely promote implausible interventions with full credulous conviction.Advice needed about what is needed to start up a Reiki Healing practice please ?
My there are some pretty harsh comments regarding your interest in a Reiki practice. I am sorry that you didn't receive anything positive thus far.
First of all, Reiki isn't a cure all for every ailment or disease. It is kind loving compassionate hands on or hands off treatment. It helps with all sorts of pain of mind, body and spirit.
You cannot diagnose or treat a disease but you can give healing to that person who is suffering.
I became a Reiki Master/Teacher after 3 years of reading, classes and treatments. I had my first treatment in 2006. My life was upside down, I had chronic pain and continual health issues.
If you have not been taught the hand positions, ethics or had the attunements, I encourage you to find someone that you feel comfortable with and learn from them.
If you are already practicing Reiki then all you need is a sensible business plan, some equipment and good intentions.
Reiki is completely portable so you don't need a lot of supplies or space. It can be done anywhere.
There are numerous sites that are not reliable and are hoaxes just to get money out of you. Please use caution when surfing the internet and visiting those sites that are not reliable. Some of the information is also incorrect and are not worth your time and effort.
I am surprised that a nurse didn't offer any advice about Reiki. Another healing source is Healing Touch which is taught and used in hospitals. Healing Touch is a similar healing modality without the attunment process.
The attunment is a spiritual process which is no different than having an initiation from any spiritual organization. It is not a religious ceremony because it is not a religion.
Visit my website for more information, www.reikispiritzone.com
just open a practise and say '; hi I'm a reiki healer';. and wala! you are one. well done.
perhaps the magic circle will give you a certificate. after all it's no better than slight of hand magic.
you must know in your own heart that you are not really summoning spirits. you must do. do you really really believe it? honestly?
I have no idea what Reiki healing is, nor do i care. If it was beneficial to humankind i would have read about it.
Good luck in your endeavours of magic or .... water healing.
I believe you would need Reiki 2 to be able to do it professonally.
A lack of morals makes it easier to scam money from your victims... sorry, I mean ';patients';
Do something legitimate with your life.
You need to be certified to do stuff like this. If you are on a lower level you might need some more training as well.
I wold think you would need to be certified by a training center.

Why does Yahoo penalize members for good advice?
A person posted a question in which they admitted to animal abuse. They asked for advice on what to do. I answered that they should turn themselves in to their local animal control office. Much to my surprise, I was penalized for violating the terms, and points were taken from me. Why? I appealed, and lost. Why? Don't the terms say that posting about criminal behavior is against the rules. In my answer, I was straightforward, but not abusive, mean or rude. Why did they penalize me?Why does Yahoo penalize members for good advice?
They penalized you because you DIDN'T answer the question that was being asked!
In cases of something ILLEGAL like this being posted - there is only ONE course of action. It goes by the acronym RAMO:
Report
And
Move
On
There is NO ';valid'; answer you can give to something like this - and by posting ANYTHING in response, you can get dinged one of two ways. The first is called Point Gaming - it's where you post something JUST to get your 2 points. You've probably seen people answer ';I don't know'; (or IDK), ';lol';, or ';Thanx for the 2 points'; - ALL of these are classic examples of Point Gaming.
The second (as I mentioned earlier) is ';Not a question or answer'; - as you did NOT answer what was being asked (and instead gave an OPINION - which differs from an answer). And even though the question was ASKING for opinions (which is ALSO not allowed) - giving one runs you the risk of getting Reported!
I realize that the system is bass-ackwards - and tends to hurt the innocent more than the guilty - but it's all a part of ';life'; around here ;);););)Why does Yahoo penalize members for good advice?
Yahoo's policy for such questions is RAMO -- Report And Move On. If you feel the question is itself a violation, either report it or ignore it. Answering it generally just 'feeds the trolls' and gives them an opportunity to report you, whether rightly or not. If you were turned down on only your first appeal, and still feel your response was valid (which I agree is the case), you can make a final appeal. Often the 1st appeal is turned down, possibly automatically, but final appeals do seem to get personal responses. You may still get turned down again, but at least you will have tried all avenues available to you. The suggestion is that you be polite, clear, concise and to the point when appealing. State simply why you were not in violation; don't into the issue of the question being a violation as well, or other people getting away with worse postings, etc.
Someone asked if they signed up for a particular cell phone company if they'd get service where they lived. I said ';No, you won't, so don't waste your money.'; That was not only an answer to her question, but a piece of advice. So, needless to say, that was a violation and I also appealed and lost.
This is also my third account on here; my first two were deleted for ';violations'; just like that. My ENTIRE accounts, they deleted my freakin' e-mails.
im confused because when i give advice to bad things like the one that said '; my 13 year old is pregnant 3 times and wont stop smoking'; and i said something to help them but i never got points taken away or my profile being deleted
This has happened to me a few times as well.
Don't worry about it. Not worth the bother.

Advice on getting the right color dye for my hair?
I have a dark brown hair color and I want to get it a lighter shade of brown, like a medium to light.
Any advice on finding a color dye that won't make my hair orange or red?Advice on getting the right color dye for my hair?
As a hairstylist, i've seen many at home colors gone wrong...in fact i had a client the other day who was trying to do this very thing..go a couple shades lighter for spring. Have you colored your hair before? Is your hair past your chin? If so, you probably won't get even results on your own. My best advice (and trust me, this could save you tons of money in the long run) ask a few people around you where they get their hair done-the people's hair you like, and if possible, close to your same texture and desired color- and book an appointment for a partial highlight. make sure to bring in some pictures or examples of the color you would prefer. a few highlights can make a huge impact on how you look and feel, but it doesnt have to make a huge dent in your wallet. The only time i would recommend an at home color would be when you just want to change the tone of your color (like brown to red) and i would ONLY recommend doing a semi-permanent color!Advice on getting the right color dye for my hair?
If you have ever dyed your hair before the only way to go lighter is to bleach, which exposes the undertones of the hair (orange is the undertone for brown). Color cannot lift color, so bleach it your only option, sorry. You will then have to tone it the shade that you want, but you'll need to get an ash (cool toned) brown to combat the orange.
I would say to go into a hairdresser to get that done, its to risky
But if you dont then for sure dont use garnier it might do that to your hair
I suggest going to a professional when it comes to lightening your hair.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get your foot in the door to get a position as a new Teacher?
I am a newly certified EC-4 ESL Generalist and will be adding the special ed cert next month. I have been trying to get my own classroom for a year now. I've applied online, been to job fairs, and worked last year in a Title I school as a tutor. I'm wondering if anyone else went through any other avenues?Does anyone have any advice on how to get your foot in the door to get a position as a new Teacher?
It's all in who you know.
I moved to a new area and spent 2 years subbing. My resume couldn't have been any better and I had applications out everywhere.
After subbing I got to know the teachers and principal. Low and behold, when a position came up in the summer, one of the teachers I had subbed for tipped me off and told me to call the school. I got the job and I'm in my third year teaching.
Talk to the principals and get to know the teachers that work in the schools! Good luck and hang in there! It will work out!!Does anyone have any advice on how to get your foot in the door to get a position as a new Teacher?
Volunteering is the best way to get your feet into the door and subbing is good, too.

Does anyone have any advice for ASD carer/Mum struggling to get help with authorities in Norfolk? UK?
Hi I am struggling to get help for my disabled son (registered at highest rate for care and mobility) but GP refuses to talk to me because he is now 17 despite letters of authority. He needs medical referral to support his joints but Im being mucked around by NHS and Soc serv (we do not have a social worker) and there seem to be no charities in this area that can help. My son needs an electric wheelchair and suffers daily joint dislocations (he has a condition called DAMP - includes severe dyspraxia and ASD) and very vulnerable to falls which leave him hospitalised. Ive tried Nat autistic society, Asperger's Norfolk and various carers groups but noone can help. Variety Club refused wheelchair funding as it is too specialised, am applying to Whizzkids but need help now. Any advice? Nessie (Are there any advocacy groups in Norfolk? I really need help!)Does anyone have any advice for ASD carer/Mum struggling to get help with authorities in Norfolk? UK?

Iam a single parent(father) to my 13 yr old daughter. Plz advice at wht age she shld start wearing a bra ?
I will request advice from indian experts only - preferably a lady who is qualified enough . Advice for size and type.Iam a single parent(father) to my 13 yr old daughter. Plz advice at wht age she shld start wearing a bra ?
I think her mom is not with her........
sorry I hurt u
Its better if u send her with some lady of 15-16yr age........so she will help and if ur daughter need she will buy for her, send them together for buying ......Iam a single parent(father) to my 13 yr old daughter. Plz advice at wht age she shld start wearing a bra ?
i gonna help you, but only for your daughter's sake. hun, you NEED to change you attitude towards people who aren't of your race!!!!!!!!!
i am 14, and i know that she is going to feel really awkward around you in this situation. i'm sure that you are a great father, but she is growing up and she needs you. but she also needs her space.
you DON'T need to be qualified to fit a bra, okay! hey i think that i know what size she is off the top of my head, and I AM NOT QUALIFIED.
does she have an aunt, grandma, or a close female friend of the family that she trusts? if so, give them the money, and ask them to take your daughter out to sears and get her about 3 bras. the sales lady will be able to tell what size she needs, but i'm guessing that she will need a real bra (prob 30, 32, 34 AA, or A) right now she needs a woman to talk to. she actually needed one about 4 of 5 years ago. good luck, and please change you your outlook on people of other races.
or later in life, you might be very terribly sorry.
Take her somewhere like Walmart or JC Penneys to get measured and purchase that child a bra.
We're not going to know size and type because your thirteen year old is not generic, she is not like every other thirteen year old. She's going to have her own size, and she's going to have her own preference of type.
well hello i would advise u to that wll it is a right time 4 her to start wearing it and wll u can start wth buying a sports bra not teh proper one wth hooks and then by the time she turns 14 and a half u can buy her a proper bra !
the size will depend on ur daughter may b a sports bra of 75 cms may hlp her !
well y dnt u take her to a shop where there is a lady who is sales women she can help her better!
and in size 32b
Uh, she should start NOW.

I am not Indian but I am a woman!
She should either start wearing one when she needs to (i.e. it would be comfortable for her) or if she wants to. It depends on her stage of development but at her age it will be just as important to have one if all her friends do.
You can get soft material bras for young girls and the best thing to do is to go to Marks and Spencers and ask advice from an older lady in the underwear section. They are very good there.
I started wearing a sports bra when i was twelve and as they developed no i am 13 and i wear a proper bra. i think its time because you dont want her breasts to be hanging down and they might already be developing. take her to a good store to get it measured or probably ask an aunt or any lady cousin to help out.
Hmm i did when i was 14 .. well it depends on how big her breats are..
Well it shouldnt look bad when she wears on her clothes ...if her nipples are seen ...or she gets embarassed...she should start wearing one...
Well..so my answer is that she should wear one..caz delaying it can cause sagginess..and she should measure it or go to a well known lingerie store and the women there would help her with the size and material..
Types if you say..there are always t-shirt bras ..for young girls ..bras meant for swimming..etc..once she sees them..and analyses what she wants ..she ll get it right..
Basically all you ve got to do is ...Take her to a well known store..she ll be alright.
As a mother of four daughters, I bought them a bra when they started to develop. The type is whatever she prefers, possibly a sports bra or a training bra. She may need to be measured at the store by the fitting room attendant.
Bring her to any store even Walmart or a Lingerie Store and have them mesure her, and they will tell you what size she is. She should of started wearing a sports bra a couple years back but go an dget her a few bras !
She should have started to wear a bra years ago, as in a sports bra.
Just take her to a lingerie store and have her measured and sized for a bra. They'll help her out, more than you can.
well
i would not take her to wal mart or anything
your best bet is to take her to the bay...or sears and basically get them to meausure her
start with both
normal bras and sports bras for gym class
she definatley needs to be wearing a training bra, if her breasts are bigger than look into padded bras. also she needs at least 2 sports bras for gym class and sports
What does being Indian have to do with bras? Take her into a dept store and let the ladys there help her, they are proffesionals have them themselves.
she should start wearing one now. take her to the ladies department and have her measured by the sales lady.
i am sure you are doing a great job!
she should go with u %26amp; choose it...
i started wearin sports bra as soon as i got my period (9) %26amp; normall bras wen i turned 11 =)
EDIT :
btw im not indian %26amp; race has nothin to do with this
It depends on the size of the breasts.
Why isn't she wearing a bra NOW!!!! Seriously dude.
Well, I would help you since I grew up with only my dad... but your racist request says I can't!
like 10 or 11 idk when i was 13 i was like a 32B but it really depends
actually girls should wear bra in the age from 17yeraold
she should have started wearing a bra when she was 8 or 9
why are you worried? when your daughter needs , she will tell you..........why you create drama of ur daughter?
just go to the shop, they will help u. U need not to worry
I think her mom is not with her........
sorry I hurt u

Why do we believe what we read in books on relationship advice?
-What gives the author that authority that makes us believe what we read in there books? Is what they write really true or do we just choose to believe it?
- Is there anyone that approaches these books in a skeptical manner?Why do we believe what we read in books on relationship advice?
Personally, I believe them for the most part, only because they have no emotional investment in their advice and that makes them more objective and logical. When you are emotionally invested in a decision, you are usually not going to think as logically as you otherwise could, therefore we seek advice of those who have no stake in the matter.
Like, for example, if you are heartbroken and you are trying to make a decision about a relationship while in that state, it is like trying to arm wrestle when your arm is broken. It makes no sense, so you seek advice from someone that is not hurt, as the advice is probably more rational.Why do we believe what we read in books on relationship advice?
Well, some of what they say is true and we know it but we just don't acknowledge that we know it. It's only when we read it that we say, Oh that is so true. I believe them to a certain degree and hey they don't always work cause every relationship is different. You can't apply the same rule they give you for all relationships.
First, I think we read books on relationship advice because it's more of a diy kinda thing, more independent. People tend to do things more easily if their the ones in control - versus if people went to see a counselor or something, it's a feeling that you're not in so much control.
Well, if it's the author's field of work, then they do have the authority. Other authors are either really trying to help through experience or just their opinion - OR they're just trying to sound good %26amp; get people to buy their books.
I think if you're seeking relationship advice through books, first: check the author's credentials; and second: read plenty of books, that way you'll pretty much see a common thread of advice. Obviously, if they're all saying pretty much the same thing, AND it makes sense to you - then go for it.
I always approach books %26amp; any information - I was taught to always question things, no matter what they are. You can't really go wrong there.
I agree! I always check the credentials of these so called experts before reading their books. So many of them are single! Some of them write good sense but only those who are successful in their own relationship. I love Leil Lowndes (sorry I think I spelled that wrong) anyone who has read her stuff will know ho I mean. She talks sense about what to avoid especially!
People become so desperate for answers that they will pay for one persons opinion thinking that this will help them.
That's why I like this site, cos it's free and you get different peoples different opinions. I hope this helps

Please give me some advice to get rich quicker?
I am 23 and probably making $25,000 after tax. I know there is a Roth IRAs where I can contribute a limit per year and it will grow to a million at least when I'm 65. Like this year, after $4,000, what can I do with the $21,000. I have no 401k plan with the company I work for now. So, if I want to invest more money, what and where can I invest it in with the power of compound interest and it is pretty safe. I do not want my hard working money go to waste. I am probably aiming at least 5%-6% annual interest too or something like an Roth IRA where in the long run I will make my money back. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.Please give me some advice to get rich quicker?
At 23 years old you do not want to invest in a 5% return like savings or money market. That is for us old folks.
The higher returns are with higher ';risk'; investments. These are investments that will go up and down in value. The trick is that since you will not need the money, it doesn't make any difference that it goes down since it has always gone back up over time.
Find some good mutual funds like Vanguard Energy Fund. Look at the Vanguard and Fidelity web sites. Explore the different funds.
Once you pick your funds, you will want to contribute every payday regardless of what the market is doing. When it is up, you are feeling good about making money. When it is down, you are buying more for your money since the fund will be cheaper. It is a win-win situation. This method of investing is called dollar cost averaging.
If at all possible, have your employer send the money directly to your mutual fund account. That way you will never see it so less tempted to spend it.
Again, see if your employer will send your investment to the account BEFORE TAXES. Many people get paid, the taxes are withheld, and they invest our of what is left. If you can get your employer to make your contribution, PRE TAX, this is also investing the money that you would have paid in tax.
In other words, by doing this, you are investing the extra 25% you would have had withheld in taxes. This is perfectly legit! You will pay taxes when you withdraw the money when you retire.

I wouldn't invest in stock market only because I really don't understand it. But you can invest in CD's and Money Market Accounts and what I call safer just longer returns. But I also like cash on hand for emergencies and a bigger down payment for a house. God knows what thinks will cost

At 23 years old you do not want to invest in a 5% return like savings or money market. That is for us old folks.
The higher returns are with higher ';risk'; investments. These are investments that will go up and down in value. The trick is that since you will not need the money, it doesn't make any difference that it goes down since it has always gone back up over time.
Find some good mutual funds like Vanguard Energy Fund. Look at the Vanguard and Fidelity web sites. Explore the different funds.
Once you pick your funds, you will want to contribute every payday regardless of what the market is doing. When it is up, you are feeling good about making money. When it is down, you are buying more for your money since the fund will be cheaper. It is a win-win situation. This method of investing is called dollar cost averaging.
If at all possible, have your employer send the money directly to your mutual fund account. That way you will never see it so less tempted to spend it.

Does anyone have any advice for an extended vacation?
I'm going out of the country for a month, the longest vacation I've ever taken was a week, so I don't really know how to pack. Does anyone have any advice? I'm going to Mexico if that helpsDoes anyone have any advice for an extended vacation?
depends on what part of Mexico you are visiting...
I've been to Nuevo Laredo a couple of times, and it was cool.
but for safety, stay within the tourist traps.Does anyone have any advice for an extended vacation?
If it's about more than just fun trip, take in some learning 'mini' vacations like Mexican pottery or cooking classes or volunteer at a commmunity programme.
Also, remember to check the weather reports from time to time as the hurricane season is in full swing. Mexico can get a hit from both Pacific Hurricane events and the Atlantic hurricane events. And you will need to hunker down or move - with your longer spell, you can make that choice.
Well, Dont make your bag so full you cant fit anything and than your suit case is going to ripp... make sure you dont do that, In the mean time go ahead and get about 2 weeks worth of shirts and pants.
When you are done wearing your 2 weeks of clothes find a washing machine and deposit some pasos... if you cant find those go to the front counter and they should have them.
Have fun and make sure you dont drink the water!
Pack light! It's Mexico so you can buy a lot there cheap...plus you'll get to bring a lot back then! I'd say 1 pair of jeans, a bunch of dresses and a few bathing suits. The rest you can buy! Have fun... I'm jealous :D
Well which part of mexico??? If its hot there (probably is) i would pack spaghetti straps 4 girls t-shirts 4 boy and shorts a lot of those cloths (no jeans)

What is the best advice you would give someone who just got out of an abusive relationship?
The relationship was over months ago, even though the breakup occurred recently. My friend just emotionally ';checked out'; and now is back on the market. But before she goes any further, I would like to know what steps she may need to take before she meets someone new. She's not looking for a relationship--- she easily attracts guys--- but I think she needs to put some things into perspective before she goes any further. What advice might you give her?What is the best advice you would give someone who just got out of an abusive relationship?
yaWhat is the best advice you would give someone who just got out of an abusive relationship?
No matter what she's vulnerable right now~
Don't talk to him...or see him (abuser) its very easy to get pulled back into his trap, especially with false apologies.
You didn't mention kids..so thats easy enough.
Don't go on the re-bound ~ She may attract the same type of guy as her ex.
Let her take her time getting back on track , she needs to build her self confidence back up. Talk to her and make her trust others(boys) becuase she may be emotionally scared to be around them ,trust them , hang out with them.
Concentrate on other parts of her life. Don't focus on relationships right away.
Tell her to think about what she's doing and enjoy being single. I know it's not much but sorry:( xxxx
Just remind her that what she went through... wasn't her fault, and she deserves much better then that.

Anyone have good advice about hotel bathrooms in Las Vegas?
My mom and I always enjoy traveling to Las Vegas once a year in August. We usually stay at the Mandalay Bay, however we have been ver disapointed with the service our last couple of stays. We also have stayed at the Golden Nugget (but it's kind of far from the new part of the strip). What we are looking for are the following qualities: On the Strip (very accessible), Affordable, Clean (*important*), 2 sinks in bathroom, Quietness
I am currently looking into the Mirage, Paris, etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!Anyone have good advice about hotel bathrooms in Las Vegas?
Try the Venetian and Bellagio. The rates have dropped drastically to probably less that what you use to pay at Mandalay Bay. Those are two of the top hotels in Vegas and offer the best of everything. The Palazzo / Venetian even have LCD TVs in their bathrooms. Enjoy.Anyone have good advice about hotel bathrooms in Las Vegas?
We've stayed at Caesars and Venetian, and had two sinks in our bathrooms there. The Venetian had a flatscreen TV in the bathroom, as well as a separate lighted vanity area.
Both hotels were very nice, and we were very happy with the service we recevied.
New York New York. VERY clean. Good service, and I found it to be quite affordable for Vegas. I was very impressed, and would highly recommend it :)
Venetian, Bellaigo and the Wynn are all nice, i would think the mirage and caesars palace are also tops on the strip..
any station casino is nice and affordable right now.
go to palace station, good rates, service, you name it. i went there a few years ago and its pretty nice

Does anyone have advice on front load wash machines?
I haven't shopped for a washer and dryer set in a long time
anyone with a front load care to weigh in? is 3.5 (cubic size) large enough for a comforter?
are the front loads really better for clothes is it generally the models with out a agitator?
Im looking at Maytag , I dont want one of those HUGE setsDoes anyone have advice on front load wash machines?
I would highly suggest getting a front load washer. It will save you money on water and detergent. Make sure you look for front load detergent because it will require much less than typical detergent. 3.5 cu is large enough for a full size comforter, you would have to ask a salesman about a queen size.
It is better for your clothes because it doesn't agitate in the normal sense, it simply spins your clothes around.
Maytag seems to build the best washers and dryers. I would also suggest a Frigidaire set, slightly cheaper and almost as good quality.Does anyone have advice on front load wash machines?
The front loaders are awesome. You only use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of regular soap. I received a rebate on them because of the energy efficiency of them, Please do your Homework and make sure Maytag is really what you want. I spent a fortune on my Maytags and gave them away due to a horrible mold problem and Maytag refused to warranty it. Found out later numerous complaints on the internet with the same problem. I bought Kenmore (Sears) brand, and I love them. Never a moments problem, and they work so well!!!
I like the front load because you don't have the tube in the middle like top loaders. Clothes and straps get wrapped around that and sometimes ruin the clothes. Also, when the clothes are wet and have to be removed from top loader, you are pulling on your clothes and stretching them. Here is little information on top load vs. front load which I found on a website that you can enter by clicking on the link at the end of the article.
Front Load Vs Top Load Washer - Which One To Choose
Anyone who has bought a new washing machine, would, at some stage have to had picked between a front and top load washer. Some people will swear a top load is the way to go, however there are others who will chant just as hard for the front load.
Top Load Washers
The top load washer has been the market leader in terms of washing machines for many years. They are common in many households, and have been the first choice for many people purchasing a washing machine.
The top load is great for anyone who doesn鈥檛 have much time; one main advantage is that it is much quicker to wash your clothes. Your cycle will generally be finished much quicker than if it was done in a front load washer. Another main advantage is that the top load is right in front of you, and you don鈥檛 have to bend down to put your clothes in. This may be ok if you鈥檙e young and don鈥檛 have a bad back, however a lot of older people would rather not bend over when they have the choice.
Although at this point the top load seems the way to go, like anything there are some disadvantages. One is they use a lot of water, and we know that today this is a very vital factor. Water conservation is more important than ever, and if you purchase a top load, forget getting any kind of rebate from the government except for the odd one or two machines new two the market place. Another disadvantage is that they are hard on your clothes, from experience I know this, I found even after a couple of months my t-shirts were stretched and almost ready for the gym pile. You can get top loaders without the agitator but these machines do not achieve the greatest wash results.
Front Load
Front load washers were in older days used heavily in commercial businesses, however now days they are smaller, more affordable and better looking, which make them a great household washer.
The front loads main advantage is the water conversation, while the top load lacks in this category, the front load exceeds. The front load uses up to 60% less water and up to 68% less energy than conventional top loading machines, saving you on those electricity bills. As well as the water conservation front loads are much gentler on your clothes. The main reasons for this are because they have a drum with no agitator, and your clothes will not get caught and stretch.
While front loaders hit the lead with their water conservation, they fall back again with their longer wash cycles. There are models out these days with quick wash cycles; however this is only effective with lightly soiled fabrics like sheets, as heavily soiled loads will not clean properly.
The Final Verdict
So, here is the question you have been waiting for, which one really dominates? In my opinion, I have to lean towards the front load washer. I think water conservation is a big thing, and if everyone had a front load, a lot less water would be wasted washing clothes. This coupled with the fact that it is much gentler on my clothes, is enough to push me over the edge. Go the front load.

I cant live without a front loader, have lived in UK all my life and front loaders are the norm, when I moved to Canada, I had a top loader for a while and hated it, I went and bought a front loader, they are fantastic, I think. They get clothes cleaner and I feel less wringkled
The 3.5 cf should be big enough. They are better for clothes and the environment as well - they require much less detergent than a standard washer. Advise: measure carefully and read the directions until you get used to them.

For the blue screw: Normally use the right size torx or phillips screwdriver. Although if its stripped and destroyed: Use a tube of screwgrab and dab a bit on the tips of some long nose pilers. Grip the blue screw firmly and turn it slowly. It should work.
For the small harddrive screws: use a 1ptx150mm screwdriver and turn it.
Drilling should be used if ALL else fails. (Not recommended).

Anything worth doing, from the outside, looks like hard work. And sometimes it is. But the payoffs, are always big. And I'm not talking about money or fame or any of that junk. (Although sometimes that does come along.)
If you would like to have a conversation regarding a commercial and fine arts career, I'd love to talk with you. I do both. And work as a creative consultant and problem solver for various businesses in my day job.
The first question I'd ask you is this:
What do you think about all the time? What is your passion? That one thing you do that you love more than boys, your family or your friends?
If you can HONESTLY say art, then perhaps you are on your way.
Don't go into it because it seems ';cool'; or hip, or anything like that. You must have a passion for it. Creative thought and process must be something you do all the time. Even in your sleep.
If this is you. I want to talk with you.
Email me. We'll get you moving in the right direction.

Don't go into it because it seems ';cool'; or hip, or anything like that. You must have a passion for it. Creative thought and process must be something you do all the time. Even in your sleep.
If this is you. I want to talk with you.
Email me. We'll get you moving in the right direction.

I'm buying my first truck in the next two weeks any advice?
I've never had to worry about dealers before so im a little nervous, I know that your not suppose to pay sticker price, but i have no idea on how to haggle for a lower price. I could use any tips given to me.
The truck cost $29,000 if that helps.I'm buying my first truck in the next two weeks any advice?
The tried and true method is to order a new car price report from consumer reports. They cost around $16, and will save you thousands. It gives you the actual price the dealer paid for the car from the factory, and will also show you all rebates available, even the hidden manufacturer to dealer ones. All these help you negotiate your price UP from what the dealer paid, not DOWN from some imaginary number called an ';invoice'; number, or ';MSRP';.I'm buying my first truck in the next two weeks any advice?
First off, if it's your first time, try bringing someone, preferably a guy who knows a little about cars with you.
It's mostly to try to keep the dealers from thinking your easy bait, or easier to trick into buying something higher priced, with the idea you don't know much. =/
Let the dealers' know that your looking for a good deal on the truck and are looking around, and they'll automatically try to be more competitive in the sale.
But if you ever get a dealer who is EXTREMELY pushy- leave.
They've proven to you they are not trustworthy on the sale if they start that up. Know that most dealers', especially these days will always try to be a bit pushy, and are a bit more desperate to make sales these days, but when they absolutely will not drop it, go looking somewhere else.
Buying a vehicle is not hard. Remember a few important things, do not over extend yourself financially, buy something YOU like because it makes that monthly payment easier to justify, set your budgeted amount and stick to it, do not settle for less than what you want. Have someone that you trust go with you to help and advise you, and most of all treat people the way you want to be treated, reading some of the advice you got above it the wrong way to go about doing business, tell them you'll do this or you'll walk, don't tell them what you can really pay, call me in 24 hours or ill go somewhere else, all poor advice. If you were at work and people came in and started to threaten you, lie to you and push you around, then they will do the same thing to you, but if you act like a human being you will be treated like one. there is common ground, you want to purchase a vehicle and they want to sell you one. If you tell them your wants and needs and budget then how can they tell you what they have that will work for you. If it is ok for you to lie to them, then it should be ok for them to lie to you, it's a 2 way street remember purchasing a vehicle has to be fair and equatable to both sides. They can not stay in business with out a profit and they can not hire good technicians and provide good service without being profitable. You wouldn't work for free and they won't either. If you don't require service or help with paperwork or someone to help you if you have a problem, then buy private sale. Now i'm not saying not to shop around or not to try to get the most for your money, but there is no need to be ignorant to others that you are trying to get help from, so try to work together to reach your final goal.
Good luck and enjoy your purchase.
The easiest way to negotiate a car deal is to work from the invoice. Determine what you think is a fair profit for the dealer on the truck. And to all you ';experts';, car dealers are ';for profit'; companies, if they let you ';walk'; it's because you are demanding that they sell the vehicle for less than they paid for it. So anyway, back to your deal. Offer the amount over invoice you have determined is fair and it is to be AFTER all factory incentives have been applied.
Here's how you do it. ';Ill give you x dollars over invoice after rebates'; stick to your guns, they may whine and complain, and you may have to threaten to leave, but if they're making at least some profit, they'll take the deal.
Of course this will backfire on you if the factory is doing an employee pricing promo, and that's the deal you should be looking for. Only the big 3 do this and if you're looking for a workhorse, stay away from Toyota and Nissan, they're not quite there yet. If you're a soccer mom, by all means get a import, chances are the company will be around to honor the warranty.
They're desperate to sell right now, its a buyers market, so YOU hold the power here. Make sure u have a bid from a competing dealer, know what you want, be confident and show no fear. Do NOT tell him what you can afford for payments or tell him what you have to spend. Tell him what you will pay for it and if he doesnt like it, walk. And I mean WALK ! Leave your name with a phone number only and tell him if he changes his mind to call u back in 24 hours, otherwise u will buy from the other dealer. Good luck! PS, do NOT show any emotion, its a business deal. If he see's you're nervous, you give him power and an edge. Dont go bonkers over the rig either, that also gives him leverage. You gotta act like its not a big deal and u can go down the street and get ';the better deal'; :)
Basivally even if you have to lie,( which i advise you do go around and look at other trucks but) tell them that there is another dealer (dont mention names) that is throwing in a free warantee or say that they knocked the price down 2.5k or lowered the interest rate. Then leave don't buy when they offer you a better deal say '; ill think about it'; . Come back within 3 days and say '; i talked to the other dealer and they said they can match you're price and give me free snow tires,( or a warantee or other bullshit) until they finally cant go any lower.
trust me i know someone who lowered a truck down from 28k to 19.5k from doing this within 3 weeks.
good lord! 29K for a truck? I would pay that for a good desiel pickup. you can find something cheaper than that. I have never paid over 7 grand for a truck. i have owned one dodge dakota, two chevy s-10, and two half tons and one 3/4 ton. I would have to say if you are not doing any offroading cut out that 4x4. if your not doing any hauling or just hauling groceries leave out the 3/4 ton you dont need it for cruising around town. now it depends on whether you want a good truck on gas go for a s-10 or ranger or something small. it still has four wheel drive and what can be called a truck. A 1/2 ton is a good choice come in different engine sizes. it will work for running around town and doing some little chores. what i would reccomend is you look elsewhere. there are plenty of good old trucks for under 10 grand that are just as good. the older trucks are tougher then these newer ones and parts can be found anywhere. I bought two trucks at a dealership and I screwed them royally. they just want to sell, sell, sell. look hard at the truck look for something wrong with it..go to your trusted mechanic if you have one and have him look at it. If you dont have one GET ONE! if he i honest with you he will find some problems. trust me the dealership will leave something that needs to be fixed later on. you want to haggle to get a cheaper price then find something cheaper. personally i wouldnt pay that much for a truck. i would find something cheaper if you want to haggle. I get trucks that last well into the 200K mark and nothing major happened to them.
when i buy a car i sit there for ages wasting their time umm and arr about the price,
if they wont budge on price see if you can get extras or the full thing painted in the same price,,
either look like you cant quite afford the full price or when hes showing you what you get for your money say is that it and suggest you want the cab painting a different colour or something but only for the same price, they will crack and give you a better deal, especially if you have seen one else where at a better spec or price,
make sure if you do see other trucks you look at what you get because a sales man will say ';well this has a more powerfull engine or is a better model'; so always have a come back to show you know what your talking about more than he does
good luck
Good luck on buying a new truck,you should look and see what the values are before you buy also, a good trusted site is kelly blue book www.kbb.com personally i bought a dodge dakota quad cab nice truck but as most new ones its made cheaply,had to replace balljoints after 40,000 miles because they dont put grease fittings on them at factory.. again good luck ...ken
Go to a lot of Dealers and compare Prices Let them compete for your business. Make them squirm ,they will go bananas to sell you that truck
