These guy sent me 3 checks and wanted me to cash them at a quickie check place and send them the money minus 10% they said I could keep! LOLL I called the bank they wrote the checks from and they had no funds. Now the jerks are threatening me with the FBI etc. Thought you guys should be made aware of this scam!! If you need any other info on them just e-mail me and I will forward you what I have. Watch out for foreign jerks!!!

Ok, so for now the world market on oil is skyrocketing, right? Probably
in part due to the fact (to name a few things) that the average car
consumes more gas than it did 20 years ago (24mpg now instead of 26mpg in
1987), the fact that the booming economy promoted high spending on big
SUV's and other gas guzzlers in the past years, the fact that as our
cites get larger commuting mileage and time increases, and a result of
the US having more toys consuming excess energy than we know what to do
with (to name a few things). Well what is going to happen when all the
automakers start coming out with 70-100 mpg cars and other industries
begin to promote higher energy efficiency and/or alternative energy
sources (and build new nuclear reactors)? Isn't that going to dwindle the
demand for oil by more than half? Shouldn't that be reflected by a drop
in oil prices? If so, wouldnt selling the oil companies short when we
see the 200 day moving average price peak be a smart bet, or perhaps
investing in companies that profit directly from oil prices dropping (like
power and/or natural gas)? We should try and think about the effects
these high mpg cars and other energy saving applications will have on
industry and invest in what makes sense. Who spends the most on fuel? When
the price eventually drops they will be making all that much more
profit since we know they would never give any price breaks.

There has got to be money to be made here. Perhaps looking at what made
money in the early 80's after fuel hit its last peak cycle and dropped
in price.

Any ideas on where the most money would be made from oil dropping and
energy usage becoming more efficient.

My position was recently downsized and I have filed for unemployment. My question is, those of you who have been in this position before, did you find that you made more money existing off of unemployment, or working though temp agencies? Any good/bad experiences?

I live in southern ontario. so any advice on community groups would be appreciated... and advice on how to reuse items, recipes on stuff I may have on hand, etc... how to get by for 1 week on only $20!! And that has to get me to school, daycare, groceries... help!! My bills are student loan debt, computer payments, personal loan payment, rent, hydro, phone, gorceries, bus. I am so far behind- how do I catch up when I get my loan?

I called cap 1 yesterday. I just opened my new card on July16th. I wanted to know why i didnt recieve an invoice yet. She said I don't have to pay until september 16th. BUT when i asked her when interest would start accruing on my charges (my first purchase was on july 20th) she said 25 days from july 20th. Please explain to me if i need to plan on paying in full each month i would need to monitor each and every purchase to make sure i paid them each off within 25 days to avoid interest charges. I'm so confused! please help

I was fired from my previous position due to performance issues. I don't think they were 100% my fault, but I accept that it was mostly my own fault. For six months I was unable to find a similar job. I had a few interviews, but despite reading all the articles I could about how to deal with the issue in interviews every place I interviewed turned me down because of it.

Now I've been able to find a job, but it's not in the same field as I was in before, and it's not leading to my career getting back to where I want it. I want to find a position with a company in my field, even if it's a few steps down the ladder from where i was, just to prove to them that my performance at the other place is not reflective of who I am. When I go back to contact companies I've previously interviewed with, what should I say? Or should I move on and try to focus on a new career path? I've been turned down by every local comapny in my field, and I'm not willing to relocate.
