I know that businesses are in it to make money but is anyone else sick of the whole cross sale business.
You know you want a pair of jeans and they try and sell you a belt or shirt, you buy shoes and they try and sell you spray for them etc...

It's everywhere - from Mcdonalds "upsize/fries?" to Banks - "insurance/credit card?"

I am so sick of it.. How many people actually get caught up by most of these things and has there ever been a time where you have felt pressured into actually taking the cross sell.

Businesses need to look after thier customers and help them not SELL them things they don't really need.

From now on i am going to start my own rating system and reward businesses who don't cross sell and thumbs down for those who pressure sell.

I heard that it's impossible to go to Cuba with an American passport. Is that true? What if I go to another country, for example, Nicaragua, and then go to Cuba?
Help!

I hate failing. Sometimes, whenever things don't show up as expected, I become very angry and start to feel pissed off. How can learn to deal with it?

If the proposal is targeted at general audience, should it:
1. be printed two-sided?
2. be ring-bound or glued in a hard-cover?

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Would you rather go to heaven right away, or try another life as a human first? What if you got to keep all memories from your previous life?

After tilling the yard, I found a St. Joseph statue in my yard. I guess it was left by the previous owners. I've lived in my house for 8-1/2 years already.

Did research and found out why St. Joseph statues are buried in yards prior to selling a house. I'm not Catholic and had never heard of this until now. I don't even believe in praying to Saints.

What am I supposed to do with this statue?

What was your experience like? Do you think it's a good birth control method? I just had a baby and am breastfeeding. I don't want to get pregnant again for at least 4 years. Would Depo be a good choice for me?

Are you having a lovers quarell with the almighty GOD? Does it breed faith? "Unfath"?

Do you argue with the living God? Didn't men of faith do that in the Bible?

Who are we to question God?!? Is it forbidden to ask "Why?"???

Me and my boyf of 4 years (both21) are having a break from each other (his choice).Not to see other people but to see if we miss each other too much and realise we want to be together. Before you say it, no he is not cheating.I have known this guy all my life and he wouldnt do that.

I borrowed $100 before the break and promised to give it back this week but know we are on a break dont know what to do. As an apprentice he needs it!

Should I mail it to him in an envelope and say something sweet, what should I say or do? What are your thoughts?

Do you think the two are linked? Sometimes I feel an incredible wave of homesickness while I'm walking past some random seemingly inconsequential spot or I'll feel deja vu for no reason. This leads me to at least ponder the existance of reincarnation.

It has taken me a very long time (9 years) to graduate from college, due to health and financial problems. I am a first-generation college student, so it's a big deal for me and my family. For the last few years, my best friend and I have talked about going to Ireland after we both graduate at the same time (August) to celebrate. She told me this week that she won't be graduating in August because she is not doing well in one of her classes and will have to graduate in Dec. In addition, she doesn't have the funds. We haven't made any payments, and I am torn over whether to wait. If I go, I'll miss having her there and she will likely be resentful. Then again, I know she'll be jealous just because I graduate first (she's v. competitive). If I wait, I won't be able to go in December when she graduates, since I'll only have been working for a few months and won't have vacation time yet. If I wait for vacation time to accumulate, it wouldn't be a "graduation celebration." Should I not go?

today i had to run to the store, instead of putting my puppy in the bathroom where she would have no room to move, i just put her in my bedroom and made sure there was nothing that she could chew up on the floor and put her toys in there. shes about to be 5 months old, she KNOWS right from wrong, but i guess sometimes she just acts on impulses like we do. she managed to get onto my bed (i have one of those tall ones, its probably about 4 feet off the ground.) and get onto my nightstand and dresser and tear everything off of it and tear it up. she also somehow managed to OPEN a dresser drawer and get my clothes out of it. she tore my tv wire out of the plug, she didnt chew the wire, but thats not the point. i couldnt believe she did that. i was gone for 10 minutes at the most. she didnt potty at all, which is good, but to me, i felt like this wasnt one of the times to just tell her she was a bad girl, i spanked her ONCE and told her she was a bad girl, (details coming ... )

I have a hard coal stove that is realy hard to get started but once its started it cant be beat.
I just spent 5 hours trying to get this stove going to no avail. i use Buckweat coal and i seen in an online forum that alot of people use what is called a mouse lighter it's like a bag of something and you just surround it with coal and light it,no muss no fuss.
I'm open to any sugustions i heard some people use a small propane torch to get tht hard coal started.
Thankyou in advance and i will pick a best answer 10 points :)
