| OH...I gotcha!! Make sense to me. Emotions are pretty good to use. If my son is at his dad's house, and he's chat'n on the PC with me, he uses alot of emotions like....the one that shows he's tired ( the face yawning), or the one that shows he loves me ( the face with the heart pounding), etc. They're really cute!! |

| I write on a few web pages, have made some good money on some of them, burned and learned on a few others. I also buy and sell on ebay. I have tried the blogging, not real successful at it, it is really time consuming, trying to get visitors sometimes is like pulling teeth, lol. My best source has been the writing, it is a good way to vent also. |

| Learned through trial and error what works for me. I am a stay at home mom so i do some paid to read emails and while this doesn't add up right away it does eventually. I write for some websites too, though having writers block at the moment. I tried selling on ebay and thank goodness i'm not a marketing person 'cause' i totally struck out with ebay. there's a couple of sites that allow you to cash in on your old electronics, pretty neat websites i've done that and made a little cash. i also sell old books on places like amazon, but i settle for lower dollar amounts if iw ant to compete. i finished grad school and so i have tons of books. I mean come one, who would want to read James Joyce's Ulysses?? wink wink |

I save more money on ebay than I make, I buy alot of my work clothes on there, don't sell a whole unless it is something specialized like old gun parts or books. I buy clothing for my four year old on there also, saves me a ton. I also buy my phone time on ebay.
I know what you mean about writers block, seems to be going around. |

| Phone time really??? wow, never never knew how versatile ebay is! man ebay really hit me with the fees, trying to sell things just didn't work out. hmmmm maybe we could create a new thread in the pubfeedback forum that says 'topic generation'! perhaps i'll do that , then all of us that write and are experiencing that mind numbing block can generate some income |

| I got rid of my cell phone and went back to the tracfone, I usually only fire it up in the winter or if I am going to travel alot, I always buy my minutes on ebay and then go to tracfone to redeem them. But I always google bonus codes and write them down to make sure that I am getting the most for my money, I really save alot by doing this. Time on a phone can get really expensive. |

| i'm a single mom ,also. SOOO....every penny counts!! i habve sold things, in the past. And I'm glad other people can use them ( ie..son's clothes he outgrew, etc.). Other single moms really appriciate it. I have this saying,..." if you are trying to help yourself, I'm willing to help ( if I can ), too." I have seen OTHER single moms that, for some reason, think they are 'obligated' to be helped. Life doesn't work that way. Besides.I think you have more respect for yourself, if you know you're trying to give your children a 'better' life. |

| You are right, being a single parent is tough, I am not but deal with single parents on a daily basis at work when they are seeking employment. I try to suggest ways for them to save as well as earn money, sometimes it is like talking to a brick wall, they just don't want to hear. I have no problem purchasing clothing off ebay for myself, my hubby or our child. We may have crossed paths on ebay, lol. |

You are setting a real good example for your children also, How old are they? How many children do you have?
I see generation after generation at work feeling like others are obligated to help them. I think the system has put this mentality in their heads. It is sad and not productive at all. These kids live with the bare minimums clothes wise, and unfortuneatly housing wise and educationally. I would be very upset if the education system treated my daughter the way some of these parents let them treat their kids.
I was beside myself one day, when a young lady told me the medication the guidance center had her kid on and the blood this child endured to be on it. It was for ADHD, the medication could affect her childs liver, she wants the child on social security and will not listen to me. Take the mountain dew and candy away and see the difference. Unfortunately this kid lives on this junk, his only descent meal is at school. I will probably see him as an adult in my offender program, sad but true. |

that's horrible....unfortunately the programs you mentioned good are well intentioned i think but have little thinking behind them. i have known people (including my parents) who have used community based programs that are federally funded and they used them while they needed them and then let others have the benefits of using them when in need. It's not just at your work good, I used to teach at a university and while not all, there were some students who have a serious issue with self entitlement. What on earth would happen if another depression happens again? hope to God not...
We are good examples for our kids to follow. if you work hard, even if your luck is down, you will get out of an oppressive situation and your kids will see that you never settle! budgeting can actually be pretty fun. there's a place here in town that triples coupons sometimes and that week i get stuff for free, it's really neat! that saves up money for our baby's expensive formula and diapers |

Even if I put away a few cents each week.that adds up!! |

| You do an awesome job sdchargers, you are setting a great example for your kids. I know it is hard being a single mom but you will be ok, just keep working hard and things will happen for you. Like being involved in these forums, you do a great job advising people and lending a listening ear for people to vent. Hang in there, we are behind you one hundred percent. |

| SD you rule!! I have worked with many single mothers in my previous job and I see them with the motivation and determination to do whatever it is that their families need. many of them hold down 2 or more jobs, they're tired, don't have time for themselves, yet keep on going and they're to be commended. They never knew it or maybe never will, but they impacted me and set an example. When I think i'm tired I think of some of my former clients (some of whom i have a good relationship with now) and it puts something like my own fatigue into perspective. like good said, you'll be just fine it's obvious you're a hard worker and will do whatever it takes for your son |
