Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Charity - I went through all that to when I had to quit working. Lots of multi-level marketing scams. Only the leaders of those scams actually make any money. I also stuffed envelopes which were basically along the same type of thing. Pay this amount and you can stuff envelopes, too, to try and get some other poor struggling soul to jump on board. Usually had to do with mailing lists. I tried making little log cabins out of 1/8 " dowels. OMG! Talk about impossible. The worst was the cleaning of raw wool - yuck! I think around that time I decided to file for SSD. I sold Avon for a while too, but I was my own best customer, so never made anything. It's OK to be disgusted by all the online scams, but you've gotta let the guilt go. It will eat you up and make you even more depressed. You didn't ask to be sick, you're not lazy or incompitent. You are a worthwhile person and I'm sure a good mother and wife. Be thankful for what you have(it sounds like you are) and just keep focusing on the positives in your life. Take care.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 thank you for your reply, you are so right, I just get a little...ok a lot frazzled sometimes, but it doesn't usually take me too long to get re-focused. again, thank you! > > Charity - I went through all that to when I had to quit working.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I am glad you are at least able to count your blessings. Things will change for the better, you just have to believe. Have you tried 1-800 flowers? I think several people here, or on my other groups are working with them. My friend's daughter is doing that as well. There are also a few legitimate places that hire people to stuff and address envelopes, but it takes lots of looking to find them. The legitimate places will not charge you a penny to work for them. I did that many years ago when I was between jobs. It wasn't a lot of fun...can you say B O R I N G ?? but it did help pay the bills. Since I was also looking for a 'real' job at the time, it was something I could do on my own time and still have time for a job search. Actually, I wouldn't mind doing it again, at least on a part-time basis. You can watch TV or listen to music while you are doing it. I know your Christmas will be blessed, and your family will have a wonderful day just being together and celebrating the reason for the season.
