I am a caricature artist. I met a balloon guy at a function I was working at he offered to hook me up with some work.
I got a call from some woman who represents him today offering me a caricature job for Saturday. I told him work for $75 / hr (which is actually pretty cheap for someone with over 10 years exp. but I already have a full time job and I like doing caricatures so I don't mind.)

Anyway, they want me to collect $135 from the client and mail them the entire amount and THEN they will mail me a check.

I don't mind if someone takes 20% for hooking me up with work but 45% is really a lot for making a few phone calls.
Also, I've been screwed by balloon people/magicians in the past and I'm skeptical about trusting them to send me a check.

How would YOU guys handle this?

If you have problems formatting your hard drive to install a
new copy of XP Pro Sp2. Here is a easy way.
First, go to my pc, right click the hard drive and choose
properties. Check if your Hard drive is FAT32 or NTFS.
Second, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=535D248D-5E10-49B5-B80C-0A0205368124&displaylang=en
to download a program to boot; you will need 6 floppy disks.
Once you download this program and you open it.
Type the letter A because it is the letter of the floppy drive unit.
And then start inserting the floppy disks. Once you are done.
Restar your pc. Open the option of bios to change booting to
Floppy: FIRST
CD: SECOND
HARD DRIVE: THIRD
before saving the setting of booting, you must insert the
first floppy and the cd of xp pro sp2.
After you save settings you will boot floppy.
Once finish with floppy disks it would boot from cd.
when is loading from cd, you would to select partition
to format the hard drive.

Would you allow a teacher to read this book to your kids? How about letting your kids read it themselves?

King and King....its about 2 kings that fall in love...would you want your 2nd grader to read the book? A teacher read it to her class (2nd grade) and the top dem. runners say its just fine, what about you?

I mean the original Tarantino/Rodriguez double-bill as it was supposed to be shown. I think it's such a shame that it's being shown as two separate films in England. I don't really understand why it bombed so badly in the US. A couple of people that I've spoken to really enjoyed it and so did I. Although I think Planet Terror was the better film

The person who was stripped of her license to practice law for smuggling instructions to known terrorists from their blind sheik leader is going to address students at Hofstra U. about legal ethics, a subject she obviously knows nothing about, or cares nothing about. Isn't that like taking advice on a sucessful marraige from the most famous cheater in the world?

Isn't it embarrasing to be soliciting gifts from friends, coworkers and family members?
I mean, I have seen couples gainfully employed who have more than two baby showers, isn't it greedy to want others to pay for your child's "things", instead of just going out and buying what your child needs

My girlfriend of 4yrs wanted breast implants. I asked her, why?
She answered: to feel better about myself. I replied, you look fine just the way you are! Even though I didn't see the need, she had the proceedure done. It actually upset me that she had it done!!
Later, in retalliation I stated to her that I was going look into having my penis enlarged! She freaked! I told her that I just wanted to feel better about myself. In a very firm voice, she said if I altered it in any way we'd be through! Sound a bit one sided?

I've been to a certain sit down restaurant twice and both times I called in a take out order and went to pick up my food.

My food was already wrapped up in a bag ready to go. I gave them my money, but rather than handing me my change, they put my change on a tray and placed the tray on the counter. I was really puzzled by this until a friend told me they expected me to leave a tip.

This didn't make sense to me because no one waited on me, got me a drink, or any of the other things that are associated when you dine in at a restaurant. Furthermore, one of the times, my change was only 45 cents and I thought it would be insulting to leave someone a 45 cent tip on a $20 meal.

Are you supposed to tip when you call in a take out order at a sit down restaurant? If so, how much are you supposed to tip? I don't think it's fair to expect 15% when all they did was take my money, hand me the bag, and give me change.

For those of you who answered my question the other day, Thank you. I have to tell you what has just happened. My grandparents escaped assisted living and the police are out looking for them. We have to go pick them up when the police call because the assisted living facility wont take them back. Now we have to pay to move them back into the house and we have to send my grandfather up north to live with his kids. She cant take care of him. She cant even take care of herself. She hasnt taken a bath in weeks. Im just so irritated right now. I just need to vent. I am so irritated with them right now.

Is it true that some schools have an exemption to the self-defense law, saying that if you are in school and when someone attacks you then you try to defend yourself instead of running away then you will still be punished for it? Everyone in my school tells me that but I don't know whether its true or not. Is that really a law?
