Hi everyone!!!
I am new to all of this. I need some help. I would like to start by telling you WHY I would like to "work from home" or start my own business from home. I am going to give you the short story. I am 35 have two children and a wonderful husband. In Feb. of last year I was working at an answering service doing the overnight shift. I came home in time to see my husband and boys off to work and school and take my nap before doing it all over again. Well I woke up from my nap and relized that the right side of my face was numb and drooping I went to the hospital and the ER Doc told me it was Bells Palsey and to go see my PCP. I went to my PCP the very next day and he sent me right away to a nuerologist who in turn told me I had a Mini-stroke. I had to quit my job that day!!! Then while the doctors were doing blood test's they found that I might have a rare disease that has something to do with a tumor on my pituatry gland. That was in March. In April I was up late because I wasn't feelling well and at 3am I woke my husband up to take me to the hospital. I was having a heart attack. So more test's insued and my husband had to start taking time off from work (through flma) to take me to all of my appointment's. Well of coarse his boss didn't like this very much and found a way to FIRE him. So he has not worked since June of last year he has been looking but nothing is happening!!!
Now let me tell all of you. I AM NOT TELLING YOU THIS SO YOU FEEL BAD FOR ME OR US. I am just telling you this because I need help. I really want to start working again (My husband does too)but I can't get a "real" job because no one will hire me because of my heart and the rare disease that I may have, because I have to keep taking time off to have test's done.
To get to my point I have been thinking about working from home for myself for a long time, but now time is critical. I need to do something soon not only are we COMPLETELY BROKE but I am going crazy not doing anything. I have all the time in the world so I know I can put in all the time and effort I have to, to start something up. The only thing I don't have is money.I would like help from anyone who can point me in the right direction to start something cheap. I know you have to spend money to make money but I just don't have allot.
The few things I was thinking about doing were here on this site with not such good reviews. I don't want to get rich quick (or even at all) but at this point any little bit will help out soooooooo much!!!!!
Oh and let me just tell you I have done ALLOT of homework on ALLOT of these business's myself too but it's nice to have other oppinions. AND THANK GOD I haven't sunk any money into any of these places I just want ONE REAL thing to start with that will not break me. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!! THANK YOU ( in advance) Christine

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
