Housecleaning is a very common stand alone service, and grocery shopping/delivery is fairly easy now too. Do you really want an individual, or just a service?

No surprise there, construction is booming ... why take a low paying side job when you can make more doing what you know.

Try finding chickens that small in the aisles. Depends on the grocery chain, but many places use separate stock for them.

Have you considered just how much of the international surplus the US produces, and how much of the total production it currently consumes? I suspect running the numbers would indicate a clear international need for the US breadbasket, and

I proposed with a ring-pop (after going with her to order a custom engagement ring (with an inherited diamond). Now, I do have to keep a stock of ring pops around to surprise her with on occasion.

My wife understood my concerns, and she really wanted a diamond that was left to her by her grandmother. Easy compromise with a custom ring. ( I also managed to accidentally end two relationships that were already going in the wrong direct

Yes, US disability and far too many government benefits are setup in a way that can actively discourage people from self improvement or trying harder. Where are the fade outs, and the incentives that will reward you for getting off the syst

Depends on the state and the issue. (Emphasis on GOOD medicaid program.) For example in Pennsylvania: https://healthbridges.info/hearing-aid-insurance-coverage-fo... . You can't get non-state insurance for hearing aids

As a swing dancer / salsa dancer, the best approach I found is to stick with one dance, and practice it repeatedly ... say every weekend for a month. You need to get to the point where you're not focused on your footwork in order

Not sure when the next one will be, but AFS http://www.afsvision.com/Careers/Career-Opportunities sporadically holds a Cobol training academy, where they pay individuals to learn Cobol for a few weeks, and generally hi

Am I missing something, or where is the http://www.trueposition.com tech included in this link? At least for the gsm networks, they can generally locate you with cross tower triangulation within 60 meters or so, far more accurat

I'll readily agree that there are Catholics who are opposed to science, and that these individuals are unfortunately more likely to end up in the roles of priests or religious teachers. These are often the same individuals who know the boo

As has already been stated, "How to win friends and influence people" is probably your best bet. However you'd be better off finding a way to practice your skills. A couple things to realize: many people are lonely (like you), and like to

Focus on creating a coed group of friends, it makes it far easier to get feedback from both sexes, as well as expand it from both sides. If you're capable of being a friend with a girl, it makes it much easier to sustain a more complicated

As an alternative to rejection therapy, or possibly a compliment, on a college campus it's usually easy to approach anyone who happens to be by themselves. I made a habit of looking around the dining hall, and asking anyone solo (of both s

I've done salsa, but always preferred swing. At least in Philly, the salsa crowd takes it self far more seriously, and the swing dancing crowd seems to attract more of an intellectual crowd. On the same note, the salsa events tend to be at

In hindsight, and after taking more advanced courses, it became quite clear that scuba instruction was all about teaching the students how not to panic. I hope they make that clear to the instructors, as I only went for personal instruction

I agree with the change and, like most posts, there is a bit of exaggeration there, but it's easier to get rich if you can do this. Alternately, you find a co-partner or someone else to off-source the work to. However, as other posters hav

It's a question of supply and demand. An hour or two for someone who is already working can be quite annoying when it's a dead end. On the other hand, it may lead to future opportunities. Once you reach senior level development in popular

I'm curious how this works, and what level of work you expect for that? Most of the contract work I see advertised is luck to get above $40 an hour, of course that's through agencies. Is this just the difference between contract to hire an

I'm on the other side of the state, so close but not quite. I'll send this thread to one of my college friends in that area, and she can decide where to go from there.

As for meeting people, most people are lonely on one level or another. If you can genuinely just say hello to random people, you'll be networking and getting to know people in no time. If it's at a social scene, or a public place, just lo
