I recently filed a claim with UPS over a lost package worth $300. It's been 2 days now, but the bar on the report sheet is still at " Lost Package reported".

Here is an example of the screen:

^^When will UPS actually begin to look for the package (as in when will the status move to "UPS Package Search"? Thanks.

Hello! I graduated in Dec. '05 with a BS degree in Communications with an emphasis in broadcast journalism. I don't want to go into a broadcasting job, but I got so far along in my degree I just finished it to have it. I'm now considering the idea of going back to school and getting a master's in PR to make myself marketable in the corporate world. My problems with PR are that I have never liked the idea of manipulating the public. PR always appeared to be a rather sleazey idea (no offense intended) I think that if I worked for a non-profit, a school system or a hospital, it would be easier to deal with and more fullfilling to me. Does anybody here presently or formerly work in Public Relations? What is a typical day like? Do you like it/hate it and why? If you left, why did you leave and what are you doing now? Sorry for the loaded question.

I want to start my own Ebay business and I know of someone who sells on Ebay. Because she lives in NY, she only reports what income she makes from customers from NY. Is this what I should do? Or is doing this wrong?

Lenders....... Id say that once you have paid 3 times what you originally borrowed .... then you should be out of debt. But NOT with revolving credit ...... I see way too many people being allowed to borrow more than they should and for frivalous purposes. And when People go Bankrupt .... we wind up getting to foot the Bill By escalating Prices...... Agree or Disagree?
