i have been up and down the united states from miami, new york, and beyond, but its like every, every hotel and motel and store i go into is being owned by these indonesians. even got myself in a few spots were i was the only white guy in a black neighborhood for a twenty block radius, were you would think a black man would have owned a store. no indonesians own them to. The average american is lucky if they have a mortgage on one house and making payments on one vehicle. the indonesians not only can come in and get one home but 5, 10 plus, and a hotel, appartment complex ect.. heres a thought, next time you are walking through a mall or driving through a parking lot look to see what the foreign indonesians have then look and see what you have. the average american cant even get a hotel i know i tried in order for me to buy one i had to own twice what the property was worth. i would like to know why this is. i live in florida now and this is a foreign land, puertoricans and indonesians

I'm going to school full time, but I want a part-time job. I want to work in international relations, but really want to improve my communication and people skills. Bascially I have to become a master with people and conversation. So which job would offer that? I mean if I'm gonna work maybe I could get something more than money out of it right? I'll list some, but if you have a better idea please feel free to post.

Convergy's-lots of money- Talk on the phone with strangers and help them with problems they may have with e-mail sevices or whatnot.-I hate sitting-

Bartender/waitress-tips- Interacting with groups of men and women routinely-can be more charismatic- BUT i'm pretty and do not need a fat hairy old man trying to slap my ***!

Waitress-normal resturant- tips- working with older people- I reaaly want to get away from the food industry

Receptionist-sitting(grrrr)-liitle more money- acting fake and perpetually happy

life guard-fun but mostly liitle kids

The credit score is on it's way up, it was 608 about 4 months ago. But we'd like to get a mortgage now but don't have the money for a down payment. Any ideas?

My daughter saw the garbage men rip open our trash and pull out an envelope tear it open and pocket it, we accidentally put our burn bag (bills personal stuff) in the garbage. I'm pretty sure it was an un opened credit card app. Those are the only things we don't open. I called and reported them to their boss. What else can I do?

An established website with a large number of users is looking into selling high-quality clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, caps, etc) & other merchandise with custom designs and the website's logo.
Advice is required regarding having designs made for these products (trendy designs like what is found on surf brand clothing such as Billabong), getting large numbers of items printed on a range of clothing items such as tees & hoodies, and also other items like mugs, mousepads, etc., and shipping these items worldwide.
We would like customers to be able to order items online, pay using PayPal, credit card, etc. and for a third party to process the orders and ship the items.
Companies who seem to be achieving a similar goal include Threadless (threadless.com) and J!nx (jinx.com). How do they do it? What are the steps required to get designs made specifically for our site printed onto merchandise and available via the internet to customers worldwide?
Thanks in advance for any information :)

My friend just finished her first year of running her own business, and she is wondering if her "meals and entertainment" expenses are too high. Is there a certain percentage that is considered normal?

This is the reason I don't have internet at home. They are less than honest and keep double and overcharging me. They correct the mistake and appologize, but then refuse to give a refund.

how long do we have bad credit for? Is it 7 years and then its taken off your record? He wants to make monthly payments but the problem is the credit card co wants it in my husbands name and we don't want to be responsible. He had a serous drug problem and has been clean since he made the stupid mistake.

I have held these all for over 10 years. I was going to use them for college in about 4 years. My current yields are 4 - 5.5%. Do you think it is better to cash them in and invest the money elsewhere or sit on them until I need them?

and they sent me a check with some amount witheld for estimated income tax and the additional early pension payout tax that would apply to my tax return this year, will the company send me a tax form showing the amount I got and what was witheld so that I can use it for my taxes this year? I got a letter with the check that indicated the check amount and the witheld amount but I have misplaced it. I know that tax forms are sent out on most things even when you get a statement like a bank account or paycheck. Will I get a tax form from my former employer (got the pension check in february) or do I need to call the pension dept to get a duplicate of what they sent me? It is a large retail corporation.
