Actually, I guess my county also uses the list of car registrations. So you might be okay.

I simply can not sit all day in those awfull chairs, I'd need to go to the hospital to get a muscle relaxor to stop the spasoms in my back that cause the back problems. Sitting is one of the things that brings on the bad back episodes. Plus it'd be costing us money for me to go. Gas is to expensive to go across town to get to the court

Status: offline 		If you're thinking of heading to a flea market to earn some extra cash, you might find it profitable to get into the body jewelry business. I started out that way after watching my brother-in-law turn a part-time gig into a living. You can get started buying off EBay for $.25 or less per piece, including shipping, and selling it 2 for $5. We still keep two booths running year round for the extra income it generates.
If you have $100 or more for a minimum order, I can give you the names of some distributors that I buy from where you can get it for as little as $.09 per piece. Sometimes you can get really lucky on EBay, if you keep your eyes open. This last week I scooped up 1000 pieces of eyebrow and belly rings for a total of $62. Even if I resold them for just $1 each, it would still buy Christmas for the kids with plenty left over.
Email me on the other side if you want particulars.

But larger cities, such as Phoenix, have field work offices. This field work usually is comprised of panel discussions and surveys for which you get paid cash upon completion. For example, My roomate went out last night for 2 hours and participated in a panel discussion, with some written matieral and was paid $125 in cash after 2 hours. These things may not come up too often, but worth checking out. I will not do any of the Pharmaceutical studies There's a biggie! You can't believe how much they are willing to pay!), but we also have Dial Corporation here, and they often pay people to participate in surveys and try products. Maybe you can google your area, and then get in on a couple of studies/surveys/panel discussions for some cash. I do some other sorts of work where I can be flexible, but it is a bit more complicated. However, it is all cash. Please feel free to write to Me on other other side, if you would like more details.

Not really, it doesn't matter too much. People who care about their peircings will disinfect all jewelry before wearing it anyway.

Professional peircing artists do the same--order in bulk and sell by the peice. Just gotta make sure you disinfect the jewelry.

Two points: i recommend establishing a hotmail account and using it when taking a survey...i tried this, never made a dime, and was spammed like you would not believe.

Second point: regardless of whether you are paid in cash or by check, it is likely the company will issue you a 1099 in February '06. You cannot file a return that does not include all earnings without committing a crime. Since the TOS prohibit discussion of illegal activities, the advice being given about "off the books" or "under the table" is in violation of the TOS.

Feline; email on the other side and i will try to help you more.

P.S. Some of what's been posted about ssi and income from earnings is incorrect (it would have to be, as everyone has posted a different opinion). Don't go forward without getting accurate information.

The URL for social security has been given before but it is:

www.ssa.gov

P.P..S. Anyone whose application for ssdi benefits was declined has the right to appeal. An attorney will take the case on a contingent fee basis, usually 1/3 of the back pay once the case is won. The attorneys who perform this work advertise heavily here, but if you cannot find a lawyer where you are, check out:

www.binderandbinder.com

This is supposedly a nation-wide social security firm.

And with yard saling and giving your books an stuff to someone else for trade you don't have to file papers with nobody all of the sugestions given are actually not illegal, because you're not not filing things if that makes sense.

What I mean is there's nothing to file by selling at yardsales or flea markets or trading in your books.

Status: offline 		It is correct (as i recall; better to check this) that if a person owes no tax and does not seek a refund, no tax return (1040) need be filed. However, low-income people may qualify for the Earned Income Credit, which can be almost $1,000. So i would urge people to file. It also creates the necessary paper trail for discharge of student loans, and allows you to respond if you are ever reviewed by Social Security as to your continuing eligibity of benefits.

i am fairly certain you can print out 1040's and instructions therefore for prior years from the IRS website.

www.irs.gov

Be prepared; te instructions are quite long.

To ascertain whether a tax return must be filed, add the personal exemption, any exemptions for dependents, the standard deduction, any enlargement thereof for blindness -- if your income falls below the level of these exemptions and deductions, you need not file a return -- as i recall.

Status: offline 		Here is one for you. I was looking for something to do to kill some time when I am around the house and Liz is still at work. I stumbled across a work at home site where you act as an incoming call center for all of those commercials on TV. I just started doing it, so don't know how great it is just yet, but sounds pretty good. You get paid anywhere from $0.15-0.50 per min that you are on the phone talking to a customer. You set your own hours, and pay nothing (I was just waiting for one of those hidden fees to pop up when I started). You take a short training class (I finished all the training over night), and then you can start taking calls. The caller calls the 800 number on the screen which is sent to a central recieving company. That company automaticlly forwards the call to your home number, and you take the order info over your computer. I sent out 3 or 4 Tempur Pedic brochures today. The site is www.workathomeagent.com.

To be quite honest I did that myself for a while, it may not be worth it for some.

It doesn't really sound that you are interested in trying anything. To earn money you are going to have to work and give up time and it takes energy. That's why they give you money for it, because they can't get people to do it for free.
I mean, I drive about 45 minutes to work every day, work about 10 to 11 hours 4 or 5 days a week and then drive the 45 minutes back every day. That's life, welcome to the real world.

You have gotten tons of awesome suggestions, but you have shot them all down, I would say that perhaps you aren't ready to have a job yet. I am not trying to be mean, it's just how it seems.

Status: offline 		I didn't shoot them all down I shot down the telemarketer call at home idea. And if I don't like what west call at home required that is not shooting down every sugestion. That is making an informed descion about something that frankly is not apealing.

A lot of them was very good and I actually liked them and said so. I liked the flea market one and I am actually researching things like how much does one cost, what do you need to do to make your booth look nice, what kind of stuff sells best. I even looked at stuff on ebay to find for low prices and resale nicely.

sweet pet, do you know any one who'd know how to set someone up as a pro bottom. I don't think pro is as easy to get into as it would seem
