Quick question about wholesale lotion. Help please?
Well, not so quick. But...I wanted to know, since I would have an online business, I would request the order from the wholesale distributors upon receipt of my order from my customers to prevent backup of unwanted goods. But their turn around is about 10-18 days to get to me...so it will take another 3-5 days for the product(s) to get to my customer. Is expecting a customer to wait for a product for 3-4 weeks feasible?

I want to file bankruptcy in March of 08. I wouldnt file until after I cashed my income tax check so that I could pay to file. My question is, if I get a 5000 dollar income tax check, I spend a 1000 on the bankruptcy, do I get to keep the leftover 4000 and spend it on whatever I want? And what about the following years when I file my income tax, do they get taken as well? I would be filing a chapter 7 I believe. If thats the one that writes off your debts.

I live in Kansas

it is a week later and now she tells me about it. In my employee handbook I have in large BOLD font that any accident not reported the same day we will not be held liable. We have to do drug screening before any medical care is given (unless life threatening) . What should I do? I sent her to see a physican in our WC network. Was that okay or is that bad? Do I have to file a claim? Thanks for your help.

My girlfriend has a couple of savings bonds

One is from 1988

One is from 1992

One is from 1991


Both the 1991 and 1992 ones say "Series EE- interest ceases 30 years from issue date" but the 1988 one doesnt say this. Does it mean it will keep gaining interest?

And if it's a $50 bond, how much will it be worth when the 30 years are up?

How much is it worth now?

My husband and I have the option to buy a nice 3 bed/2.5 bath home in a good area of San Diego for $480,000 which would make our payments somewhere between $3,000-$3,600 per month. We make decent money, but this would make things tight. Now we have the option to buy his parents old home 3 beds/3baths which would make our payments about $2,700 per month. We would get rent money from the studio house in the front part of the property which would make our payments $2,000 per month. This would free us up of a lot of money.

The only problem is that the 1st home is in a great area, has a lot of yard with grass, tons of plants, is very private and the 2nd (his parents) is in a very bad area, has a pool. There is a lot of crime and is less appealing. I wouldn't feel safe there. I don't know if it's a good idea to buy the home in the bad area. What do you think? Is it worth saving the money? This would help us out with the stress and I could finally buy a new car.

I have play clothes, levis, and shorts and t-shirts, but I don't really have any "middle" clothes. When I dress, I wear designer clothes that are very expensive. I have never thought about buying "dockers" or some thing like that. Should I do it? I can't get a job, and my thinking is , I go into an interview, and my clothes cost more than the H.R. guys annual salary. So, should I go to Jaques Penney and get some "middle class" wardrobes? And should I trade in my Jaguar for a , I don't know, a Ford Taurus or something? I really need a job. And I don't think these folks think I need a job when they see me pull up in a jag and hop out in an Armani suit. But, yeah, I need a job, because in the pockets of this Armani suit, there is barely enough cash to afford the McDonald's dollar menu. Seriously, how should I dress? And how do I make the interviewer not self-concious?

Has anyone heard of such a house? It was built in 1910 or so. Besides the fact that the house is on a mudsill with no foundation, it is actually in good shape. Will the insurance companies insure a house directly on a mudsill with no foundation? If I need to put in a foundation, how much would that cost me? It is a 1200 sq ft house. This is in Santa Clara California (Silicon Valley).

Our current 6-month contract with a sellor realtor will expire in 2 weeks. The house is our previous residence 1000 miles away current home. We agreed to reduce the price during the selling period, but it won't work. We had quite a few interested and received a reasonable offer. We declined the offer because of a contingency term of selling their own house. Regretted it now :<.
If we sell at the current listing price we'll get 7 grants less than we paid 2 years ago after realtor commission. We wouldn't complain if we lose less than 10 grants. Should we sign another 6-month contract with the current realtor or hire another one (don't know how difficult that would be because of the distance)? Renting is an option since the monthly rent should easily cover the mortgage and December/January is a good month to rent. But we don't plan to rent it for too long. The downside for renting is uncertainty of the tenent. The upside is the hope of housing market recovery.

Me and my partner have just been for a mortgage appointment. We was told that for a £100,000 mortgage we would be paying £600 a month excluding insurances. This is over a term of 40 years, but the mortgage broker we saw told us, he will have it paid off for us in 18 years, we just go back every 2 years and he gets us a better deal. Can't understand if this could be possible. The mortgage adviser is highly reccomended in my area. Really don't want to have a mortgage for 40 years, would be nice if he could get it paid for us in 18 years like he told us. Would like any advice about this, is this possible. Don't know what to do. Please help !!!
