Exxon makes $1,318 a second am I the only one that sees a problem with that. Am I the only one not buying the oil company saying they are reinvesting it all in new technology and alternitive fuels. somethings going on with the oil industry ( and it's bigger than Bush being president so don't blame him he's an idiot and the oil people know it) I'm not able to find anything that prooves they are spending even half of that 10.4 billion. But I do have a friend that used to work for the oil company and he told me somin interesting. Most oil companies put a cost of r&d into there price of oil to cover the opperating cost of doing the r&d that way they maximize there profits at the end of each quarter to make the companies more profitable.... whats your oppinion

I overstated my current income (I stated I earn $45,000 when I actually earn $35,000/year) & my job duties/title (I stated that I am the "Director" when I am actually a "Manager). I know that referenced are checked, but HR only verifies employment, not salary and title, right?

I'm having problems getting people to sit down with me, but once they do, I have no problems making sales. I need ideas as to how to get people to spend 1/2 an hour with me one-on-one or in groups. Since Beauticontrol is relatively new and unheard of, I can't seem to get people to want to find out more.

I need interesting ways to entice people to book make-overs with me or Spa parties. My webpage is beautipage.com/sacevedo for those they need to know more about what I'm selling.

I'm not sure about other states in the U.S., but Texas has a weekend just before school starts where items related to "back-to-school" are not taxed. These are things such as clothes and school supplies. Now tax is only about 8 cents per dollar and many retailers have sales during this time anyway. The tax related savings really boil down to 8 dollars per 100 that are spent. I'm on the fence about this one, what do you think?

I paid deposit to secure this apartment in CA, but 20 days before move-in date, I changed my mind and decided not to move in. So I never take possession of the apartment. This is a very popular apartment, and I believe my blank will be filled in right away.

The problem is I signed one sheet of agreement when I paid depoist, it says if I withdraw the application after 72 hours, my deposit will be forfeited. And it's already more than 72 hours now. Is that legal agreement? Can I still get my deposit back?

Thanks.

I know that's sort of a personal question, so you don't have to answer. Mine is 628 and I'm 19 years old. I have a credit card, a checking account, a savings account, 2 smaller store credit cards, and a school loan. I was just sort of wondering if mine is average, ok, good, etc. for my age? If you do answer, please include your age.

Besides the price of the flat, there are property leaseholder fees (annual or monthly?) and council tax. Anything else? And how important is a solicitor and how much can I expect to pay for that service?
