      Bring food to a forum post....   I've seen it done before and someone even tried to hold a party with soda and other drinks, cakes, cupcakes and other food.

   I'm supposed to be backlinking, writing a hub or making dinner but ye, I'll chat. My legs hurt from walking to work, standing up all afternoon and then walking home, so I'm not getting off the couch any time soon.
   
   Just noticed a Google ad for Hubpages on a website I was about to backlink on. Thought that was pretty cool, never seen it before.
   
   Congrats on the Amazon sales. I haven't sold anything on amazon since xmas, although I've had more clicks than usual in the last few days.

   After all that I got up and made some food. Now back to the comfort of my sofa.
   
   I wish there was a way to see what items they had clicked on. I hope it is one of my big money items. I have something for $255,000 that I found on Amazon, and the best thing is that I wrote a hub and then found that to compliment it, it wasn't a hub designed especially for it ... although perhaps that makes someone less likely to buy.
   
   Yes that is the real me in my avatar, thats why it takes me so long to do anything; it takes a long time for me to process anything in my little monkey brain!!

    Ok Jen - I understand - hope you know I wouldn't steal it though. I just meant I had no idea that Amazon sold stuff like that. Having a look through it now to get some inspiration - I find stuff that is a few thousand but its products I have absolutely no experience of. Do you know, if it says its available from an external website do we still get commision?

    replyreport

    jenblacksheepposted 15 years ago

    I know you wouldn't steal it, but if I write the name of the hub then someone else could find it and there are plenty of people on here who I have no doubt would be able to sell it. I didn't know you could get things that expensive on Amazon, I ignored it to begin with because I assumed it was some kind of con.
    
    I'm not sure if we get commission through an external website, you'll have to ask one of the hubpages boffins. I would have thought that if Amazon don't make money from the sale then we won't make money from the sale.

             Apparently, my celebrity hubs were not standard quality, which would be true, because I didn't write much on them. So, now changing that. I have managed to publish one or two articles, since the last challenge.

                   There is an old saying(I do not agree with, but expand on)-
                   
                   When trying to explain anything, it must be clear cut and simple to understand.
                   
                   However, the old saying is all about using the least words as possible. I disagree with it. I say use as many words as required to convey the thought that you want to share with others.
                   
                   I want people actively using their mind, because it makes them consciously aware of more things and opens up their mind to more learning and the paths it can take them.
                   
                   Words are powerful when placed properly together to convey a message.
                   
                   
                   Edit: Congrats on the compliment.

                      I can agree to using as many words as required to explain - in order for others to understand - as long as they aren't redundant.  using the least amount of words is for conveying an important message or to defend yourself.

    Long story short some drunk decided to beat the crap out of his girlfriend in my store to night. Busted up half the darn store before the police got there. They arrested him then later while I was closing she decides to hang around out front and threaten me for having him arrested! (Women can be so stupid) So I call the police again and they come and arrest her. Now I will have to waste two days in court over what will not amount to anything any way just because these two idiots can't hold their booze.

       Actually, it could have been a lot worse, she could have had a weapon. And, decided to take measures on for herself, because of you calling the police.
       
       It could have cost you your life. The possibility remains, depending on what "he" thinks he is. If his ego gets the best of him, he'll be back to visit.
       
       Especially, from the woman's reaction...tells me she is really used to it happening. Just because they were arrested, doesn't mean they will be prison. It's not guaranteed, even with your testimony. It really depends on their past history.
       
       This might(or probably is) not their first encounter with police. Abusers are always being bothered by cops/police and the police really do not want to deal with it.

       My recent job (last year) was like that.  I actually had a customer threaten me (in a way) as she was leaving - she said something like "you're lucky I don't wanna catch a case"   um, yeah.  not a fun job at all.  lol

    Well by the time the cops let them go they will probably be sober and very meek and mild when I see them the next time.

    You are right it could have been a lot worse than it was and I am glad that it did not escalate. You are also right that depending on the nature of these people it could but I can not let those thoughts play a big role in my outlook on the situation or I would likely not be able to return to work.
    I have been held at gunpoint and robbed three times during the course of my 20 plus years in retail and I was witness to the cold blooded execution of one of my customers who was sadly unfortunate enough to walk into my store during one of those robberies. If I think to long and hard about these things I would likely never go into another store.

    It is what it is. I live in the neighborhood where I work so thinking over much about it would cause me to have to move as well.

       omg Ohma...you deserve to live in a safer neighborhood!  I've lived in bad neighborhoods...moved out of one when a guy came out of an apartment building and started shooting helter skelter....  too risky, ya know?  what if my kids had been outside & got shot?  nope, had to move.

          Good moods are a good thing!
          
          Kinda stagnant, I guess.   I'm trying to push myself and it makes me feel like crying so I'm avoiding it....
          
          So, today I turned on the air by 1:30 or so...cuz it was already 84 degrees in the house.  Now it's 80. (I have it set at 77) and the outside temp is 84.

             All I can say about the temperature is that it is comfortable. I'm not hot and there is no humidity here. I'm not even sure what the temp is to be honest.
             
             No need to run my air today. Then again, I like heat anyways.
