Where can I sell my jewelry in Oklahoma City? I would prefer not using ebay or any online website. However no jewelry store I have found yet will buy my jewelry. I can't take it to a pawn shop because they only give me 10% of its value and that is not enough. Has anyone used ebay for jewelry? Did you get what you were asking for?

I co-signed for my boyfriend to get an apartment. We broke up because he's an unappreciated asshole that says he doesn't need me. I do not want any liability and want to get my name off the lease. We got the apartment only 2 months ago and the lease is for a year. I've tried contacting the owner by phone she never picks up. The apt manager is his neighbor and I don't want to go there. What do I do?

Last week, I started a temp-to-hire job for a seemingly great company. I am a new mom with an 8 month old and I wanted a job that was flexible. The job is not as flexible as I was lead to believe and the commute, which I knew would be bad, is actually horrible. (I am in the suburbs and the job is downtown, so I am looking at an hour plus commute usually, when I am use to having a 25 minute commute). I talked to my recruiter on Thursday, saying I need to withdraw, the commute is killing me and she suggested I work part-time if the client is amenable to that--that I should just give it more time to get use to the job. I feel I should withdraw now because as soon as I find a job that is closer, I would take it in a minute. I think it would be fairer to the client to leave now and not invest any more time in training me. I just don't want to look like a quitter to my recruiter. BTW, the job is not bad, I just have been too tired from the commute to really have my heart be in it.

I have something I am wanting to patent and I can't seem to find information on simple things, like how to apply for patents in other countries and whether that is necessary. I'm in Canada, but am hoping to patent in the US as well.

the situation is this - a couple living together as man and wife with one young child.

Wife has stayed home for most of the time to care for and bring up child. She has had part-time jobs while child is a school.

Man is made redundant so wife moves from part time job to full time work, but has since found that she is having a hard time adapting to working 48 - 60 hours per week (plus travel), and has now found that if she was also unemployed they would be better off financially if she claimed benefits. This goes against wife's pincipals, but misses having time with her family greatly . (wife has only been working full time for 5 weeks)



Can anyone advise what she should do - if she gave up work now would she be eligible for benefits or not?

Currently i have a 3 bedroomed house with a downstairs bathroom. Im thinking of moving the bathroom upstairs thus losing a bedroom.

However i will create a bigger kitchen by doing this but will the value of my house go up or down?

AND..... would you suggest converting the loft into some sort of study/bedroom to claw back the third room?

I love my job, it's easy, well paid, and I like most of the ppl I work with.
I've been offered a promotion, which means I will get a company car, regular pay, etc...
I will also be responsible for each job I run, and the 60-200 ppl employed there, dealing with ppl I don't know in a role I am new to, and I don't know if I'm up to it.
I know the job inside out, but I'm not a ppl person, I don't think I'm diplomatic enough.
Advise?

I'd like to open up a Christmas savings account with my child in the Minneapolis area. I'm having trouble finding a bank that actually offers this type of account.
Usually it is offered as a special type of savings account, that will not allow you to withdrawal any of the money until a set date, for example October 1st. The account comes with a pre-printed coupon book for weekly or bi-weekly deposits.

I am 30 years old and ready for a career change. I have a masters in chemistry , have experience in both the lab and the classroom, and I am very proficient with technology. I am just ready to turn it all upside down for a career change. It is scary and exciting.
So of course I turned to the internet. Many sites seem to be crowded with what seems to be internet profiteering schemes. I was hoping to find some hidden gems or good success stories.

I ordered something from http://www.infomercialcentral.com and they have given me the run around. They sd the product would be here in 2-4wks and it's not here. On top of that they gave me a bogus tracking number and now when I call, the name of the company has changed w/a new website: http://www.buymakeover.com Is there a way to get my money back? I'm 100% certain they did not ship and don't plan to ship anything to me.
